The RNLI has teamed up with Danish footwear manufacturer ECCO to offer a new sailing shoe endorsed by round-the-world yachtsman Pete Goss and Team Phillips.

Dubbed the 'Ultimate Sailing Shoe', it has been designed to be worn in all conditions, allowing sailors to dispense with carrying bulky boots and shoes. ECCO have generously agreed to donate £5 to the RNLl for every pair sold in the UK..
