Gill Pro Race vs. Pursuit: Which Buoyancy Aid is Right for You? | Sailing Chandlery

Looking for a buoyancy aid that doesn't feel like a suit of armour? ⛵️ In this video, we’re diving into the latest from Gill - comparing the fresh new Blue Pursuit with the classic, stealthy Pro Racer in Black. Both are massive favourites in the boat park, but they offer slightly different vibes depending on how you sail. We’re breaking down why these high-cut, low-profile designs are the go-to for dinghy sailors and keelboat racers alike. Whether you’re hiking hard or hooked into a harness, these are designed to stay out of your way so you can focus on the race. The standout features we're looking at: ✅ Massive front pocket - Plenty of room for your snacks, electrical tape, or a multi-tool. ✅ Zero bulk - The side-entry design keeps the front clean and sleek. ✅ Rock-solid fit - Multiple adjustment points so the BA doesn't end up around your ears during a capsize. It’s just a solid, reliable kit that does exactly what it says on the tin.
