Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing Team is skippered by sailing legend Ian Walker, one of Britain's most successful sailors with two Olympic silver medals, two America's Cup Campaigns and two Volvo Ocean Race campaigns to his name.

In 2015 Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing participated in the world famous Volvo Ocean Race. The race started on 19 October 2014 in Alicante, Spain, and concluded June 2015 in Gothenburg, Sweden. After 38,739 nautical miles of ocean racing, Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing claimed the overall trophy.

Prior to the race Crewsaver worked with the team to design a lifejacket suitable for their needs. 'When I am out of the water my team’s safety is my number one concern which is why I choose Crewsaver' says Ian Walker, Skipper, Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing. Ian was a key player in the development of the ErgoFit Extreme providing essential feedback to the Crewsaver design team enabling them to develop the highest specification lifejackets for use in all the varied conditions throughout the race.
