Taking in the latest, Isle of Wight sailing news, I note with interest, the safety warning from the Maritime And Coastguard Agency (MCA) regarding a defect in a batch of Lifejackets.

The MCA was made aware that some Seago Yachting Ltd, Lifejackets: Seago 150 and 175 Newton Lifejackets including Junior Lifejackets may have a defect which could result in serious injury. 

The lifejackets in question were sold in chandlery shops, marine retail outlets & marine web sites throughout the United Kingdom.

If you own a Seago 150 or 175 Newton Lifejackets including Junior Lifejackets then please check the manufacture date.  The lifejackets are marked with a manufacture date in roman numerals, for instance the last quarter of 2005 is shown IV/05. 

If you have an affected lifejacket then PLEASE STOP USING IT IMMEDIATELY and return it to Seago Yachting Ltd, Mullany Business Park, Golden Cross, Hailsham, East Sussex, BN27 3RP with your full contact details. A replacement lifejacket will be issued.

If you have any queries then please do not hesitate to contact Seago Yachting Ltd on 01825 873632
