FAQs
How does the quick release skiff harness work?

The Vaikobi Torque Quick Release Harness uses a pin and quick release tab mechanism that can be activated when not under load — keeping you securely hooked in while trapezing or manoeuvring, but allowing fast release in an emergency. Read more in our complete guide to the QR skiff harness.

Why wear thermals when sailing?

Sailing exposes you to constant wind, spray, and shifting weather conditions — making thermal wear one of the most important pieces of kit in your sailing wardrobe. A well-chosen thermal base layer regulates your body temperature by trapping warmth next to your skin when it's cold, and wicking moisture away when your output increases — keeping you dry, comfortable, and focused on the race rather than the conditions. Thermal tops and pants designed specifically for dinghy sailing and yacht racing also use moisture-wicking, quick-dry fabrics and seamless construction that layers cleanly under wetsuits and spray gear without restricting movement. Read more about the benefits of thermal wear for sailing.

How do I trim the leg length of my Vaikobi wetsuit?

Vaikobi FlexForce wetsuits, long johns, wetsuit pants and hikers can be trimmed at home to get the perfect leg length for your height. Read our step-by-step guide on how to trim your Vaikobi wetsuit.

What's the best gear to wear sailing in winter?

Staying warm while sailing in winter is all about layering without compromising mobility. Here's what to prioritise:

  • Base layer — a VCOLD thermal top keeps your core warm while wicking moisture during intense hiking and trimming
  • Wetsuit — the FlexForce 2mm Long John is a proven choice for dinghy and skiff sailing, offering warmth and stretch without bulk
  • Outer layer — a VDRY smock blocks sea spray — the biggest cause of cold discomfort when sailing downwind at speed
  • Footwear — sailing boots protect feet on wet decks and prevent hiking strap contact injuries
  • Gloves — essential for line handling in cold conditions; see our sailing gloves range
