TEAMO MARINE
Experience has shown that simply being tethered to a boat does not ensure you will survive a man overboard incident.
All too many sailors have drowned at the ends of their tethers because they could not hold their faces clear of the water while being dragged by a boat. In fact many in the solo sailing community chose not to clip on at all, rather than risk being dragged by their tether when they are at sea without crew to help with a rescue.The TeamO BackTow lifejacket harness solves this problem through it’s patented BackTow technology, which when deployed transfers the anchor point of the harness from the front to the back. As a result, a MOB is pulled through the water
back-first and face-up, making breathing possible.
Created by solo transatlantic veteran Oscar Mead, the TeamO BackTow lifejacket is ISO approved and has been chosen by top race teams and cruisers around the world. Currently the only lifejacket on the market which can turn the wearer face-up if they go overboard whilst tethered on, the TeamO lifejacket range is manufactured in the
UK and come with a three year warranty. The BackTow lifejacket was voted Top 3 lifejackets on the market in an independent
review by Yachting Monthly in 2019 and has also been reviewed byYachts &Yachting, Yachting World, Practical Boat Owner and many other sailing publications.
