AFETY
If you are required to carry distress signals, you
must have three USCG-approved pyrotechnic
devices. Be sure they are in serviceable condition,
not exceeding the expiration date and stored in a
cool, dry location in a waterproof container.
Sea Anchors
You should have a separate sea anchor onboard to
slow drifting. In heavy seas, a sea anchor is set
from the bow to control the boat’s behavior. The
sea anchor holds the bow to the sea and a slow
drift.
Radar Reflectors
Radar reflectors allow you to be seen by other
vessels’ radar within your area. Mount the reflector
as high as possible on the radar arch.
Life Raft
If operating offshore, you should consider carrying
an inflatable life raft. A USCG-approved life raft
meets a number of stringent specifications. The life
raft must be large enough to hold all the boat’s
occupants and have its own equipment pack
including a paddle.
A life raft can be stored in the aft storage area or in
any other accommodating place on your boat.
