Liferaft

This weekend was spent collecting our new safety equipment for the boat from a local chandlery. We wanted a 6 man Liferaft, which conformed to the latest safety code for blue water cruisers.

After some internet searching and reading lots of manufacturer’s details, we opted to go for the Seago ISO 9650–1, which came with a stainless steel cradle.

I intend to store the Liferaft under the helm seat, in an upright position, as pictured. Having seen the Liferaft storage option available for FP decided against it, as I think it definitely looks like an after thought.



Plus like kids in a sweet shop, we spent quite a large sum of money on mostly safety equipment, flares RORC pack, fire extinguisher, fire blanket, medical kit etc…

All to easy, but as I kept telling Jo, we need it, my excuse anyway!
