Spinlock Alto flotation aid

We all know that transferring to shore in a dinghy can be one of the most dangerous aspects of boating, yet even then don’t always wear a lifejacket.

Spinlock developed this product following consultation with the RNLI, who highlighted the problem of people not wearing lifejackets in tenders. It’s a manually inflated 75N flotation aid that fits in a small bag that can be worn on a belt. Once inflated it has a similar shape to a horseshoe lifebuoy. The Alto is available in two sizes. It’s a very simple idea, but one that has the potential to save lives. Price £50. n spinlock.co.uk
