LIFEJACKETS
Even strong swimmers can tire quickly in the water and
drown due to exhaustion, hypothermia, or both. The
buoyancy provided by a life jacket will allow the person
who has fallen overboard to remain afloat with far less
effort and heat loss, extending survival time necessary
to find and retrieve them, it is recommended that you
wear a life jacket or buoyancy aid unless you are sure
you don't need to.
All persons should wear a suitable life jacket when on
deck. Note that, in some countries, it is a legal
requirement to wear a buoyancy aid that complies with
their national regulations at all times.
Life jackets should be readily accessible, if not worn.
"Readily accessible" means removed from storage
bags and unbuckled. However, children and non-
swimmers should wear life jackets at all times when
aboard.
It is common sense to have everyone on board
wearing life jackets. A throwable device must also be
right at hand and ready to toss.
Test life jacket buoyancy at least once a year.
The crew should be familiar with the use of all safety
equipment and emergency manoeuvring (man
overboard recovery, towing, etc), sailing schools and
clubs regularly organize drill sessions.
The equipment is mandatory in some countries.
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT
The actual equipment you are required to carry is laid
down by the Marine Administration of the country
where you registered the craft. Local bylaws of the
country where you keep the craft may differ and may
require you to carry additional equipment.
WARNING
When replacing parts of the fire fighting
installation only use matching components, which
bear the same designation or are equivalent in
their technical and fire resistant capabilities.
