This is even more streamline but as it says its for high agility sailors I think I'll give it a miss https://www.spinlock.co.uk/en/categories/wing-and-foil-pfds/product_groups/pfds

the buckles are the give-away- looks more like a jetski / wake board jacket rather than a wind powered impact vest. I'd steer clear of that.... unless they offer free returns.

I was thinking of checking one of these out. Not tried it yet but looks pretty slimline to me.

I have a Dakine impact vest to reduce the amount of bulk.
If I were replacing it for a 'proper' buoyancy aid, then I would probably look at the Sandline ones, as again, they look like the lowest bulk you can get away for all the snagging and boom height issues we can suffer. |

Hi All Looking for a new buoyancy aid after Saturday, capsized about 100m from the finish. Every time I tried to climb back in the foam in the
buoyancy aid shoulder straps hooked under the gunnel of the Phantom stopping me. Normally I wear my BA under the spray top but the zip on the pocket of the BA has jammed and has been puncturing the top. Saturday afternoon did blow up and we were due to finish and it was 28knots with gusts about 30 so if I wasn't holding the boat down it flipped over again. As I tired to pull myself in the boat came with me I think because of the BA. So does anybody make a buoyancy aid that does not have this issue? Hoping for some sensible advice. Gordon
