Chris Cox, General Manager, Crewsaver, said: "As the designated safety equipment provider for Sea Angling Classic, this partnership reinforces our dedication to promoting lifejacket safety awareness and helping to protect lives. Sea Angling Classic promotes angling across the UK in a responsible manner, and this partnership was a perfect fit for Crewsaver.

Crewsaver's lifejackets incorporate Fusion 3D technology that moulds to the wearer's body and is compact and lightweight. The lifejackets sit off the neck, giving sailors total freedom of movement and ensuring they are comfortable even in the most challenging environments, without compromising on safety.

We are excited to have Crewsaver and their team with expert knowledge as our safety partner".
