Sailing Harnesses + Parts

The Vaikobi Torque Quick-Release (QR) Trapeze Harness is a state-of-the-art sailing harness designed to offer skiff sailors an optimal blend of performance, safety, and comfort. Developed in collaboration with Olympic and World Champion sailors, this harness addresses the specific needs of high-performance sailing.

The Torque Harness features a reliable quick-release system that functions like a standard fixed spreader bar during regular use but allows for immediate release in emergencies. The easily accessible quick-grab release tab ensures swift action when needed, enhancing sailor safety. With fully adjustable leg, waist, and shoulder straps, sailors can customize the harness to their body shape and preferred trapeze position. The adjustable padded crotch and leg straps offer multiple positions for a personalized fit, ensuring comfort during extended periods on the trapeze. Constructed with heavy-duty materials, including a tough 600D main fabric and abrasion-resistant 1000D reinforcement on the seat panel, the Torque Harness is built to withstand the demanding conditions of skiff sailing. The inclusion of variable foam thickness throughout provides additional comfort and support. 

Skiff sailing demands equipment that offers both high performance and uncompromised safety. The Vaikobi Torque Harness delivers on both fronts with its innovative quick-release mechanism, ensuring that sailors can quickly disengage in emergency situations, thereby reducing the risk of entrapment. The harness's high level of adjustability allows for a tailored fit, accommodating various body types and sailing styles, which is essential for maintaining comfort and efficiency on the water.

Moreover, the robust construction and enhanced back support cater to the physical demands of skiff sailing, providing durability and reducing fatigue during prolonged use. By choosing the Vaikobi Torque Harness, skiff sailors invest in a piece of equipment that enhances their performance while prioritizing their safety, making it a valuable addition to their sailing gear.

How does the quick release skiff harness work?

The Vaikobi Torque Quick Release Harness has a pin with quick release tab mechanism, that can be activated when NOT under load. This pin is not designed to be pulled out while under load, because no one wants to be quick released while trapezing or manoeuvring! Find out more in our comprehensive Harness article.
