For over 40 years, Spinlock has been designing and manufacturing best-in-class sailboat equipment endorsed by the world’s top sailors. As a manufacturer of personal protective equipment, Spinlock has to have rigorous systems in place to ensure products are of the highest quality. The British manufacturer, based on the Isle of Wight, designs and develops products that sailors want to use and want to own.
As the Official Lifejacket Supplier for the 2019-20 and 2023-24 editions of the Clipper Race, Spinlock is kitting out each of the eleven Clipper Race crews with Deckvest VITO lifejackets, the latest Performance Safety Lines and personal AIS devices when they embark on the epic 40,000nm race and provide expert training and support, for both organisation and crew.
With 85 percent of Spinlock products currently being exported, the award-winning manufacturer is focusing on markets outside of the UK and will utilise the global marketing platform offered by the Clipper Race route to grow opportunities and brand awareness in markets where the sport of sailing must be encouraged, cultivated and developed.
A long-time admirer of the Clipper Race, not least because of the challenge of completing the endurance race, but also because it introduces people from around the world into the wonderful sport of sailing, Spinlock CEO Chris Hill, comments:
“Like Spinlock, the Clipper Race recognises that safety equipment should be treated as personal equipment and that crew will perform better and enjoy their sailing more if that product is designed to fit well, allow them to perform without hindrance, feel like a piece of sports equipment, whilst of course performing as a piece of safety equipment if required."
As an Official Supplier to the Clipper Race, Spinlock will amplify its brand awareness around the world and aims to play a part in developing sailing in new regions.
