SAFETY-2
known as “Life Jackets”, are described as
follows:
TYPE I (Wearable):
This off-shore PFD has
the greatest buoyancy. It is most effective for
all waters where rescue may be delayed. Its
design allows for turning most unconscious
persons in the water from a face down po-
sition to a face up position, assisting in the
prevention of drowning.
Type II (Wearable):
This near-shore PFD
provides less buoyancy than a Type I PFD.
It is intended for use in calm, inland waters
or waters where there is a greater chance of
a quick rescue. It turns its wearer to a face
up position as does the Type I PFD, but the
turning action is not as pronounced. A Type
II PFD may not turn as many persons to a
face up position under the same conditions
as would a Type I PFD.
Type III (Wearable):
Classi
fi
ed as a
fl
otation
aid, the Type III PFD permits the wearer to
place himself in a vertical or face up posi-
tion, but it will not do it automatically as
would a Type I or Type II PFD. The Type III
PFD has the same minimum buoyancy as
a Type II PFD, but it has little, or no, turning
ability. It is intended for use in calm, inland
waters where immediate rescue is prob-
able. The Type III PFD is used most often
by people participating in water sports, as
it is generally the most comfortable type for
continuous wear.
Type IV (Throwable):
United States Coast
Guard regulations require at least one (1)
throwable Type IV PFD to be on board, re-
gardless of the number of passengers. The
Type IV PFD is not intended to be worn; it is
intended to be thrown to a person who has
fallen overboard and is conscious. The Type
IV PFD is held by the user until rescued. The
most common examples of Type IV PFD’s
are buoyant cushions or ring buoys and they
are required to be immediately available for
use and in serviceable condition.
Note:
United States Coast Guard regula-
tions for the number and type of PFD’s are
the minimum required. Silverton recom-
mends exceeding the minimum require-
ments for your safety and the safety of your
passengers.
Fire Extinguishing Equipment
As a yacht owner, you are responsible to
maintain a minimum number and type of
portable
fi
re extinguishers on board. All
fi
re extinguishers must be approved by the
United States Coast Guard and be readily
accessible and in serviceable condition.
United States Coast Guard classi
fi
cation
includes foam, carbon dioxide, and chemi-
cal
fi
re extinguishing materials, which are
described in detail in the
Portable Fire Ex-
tinguisher System Section
of this Owner’s
Manual. Be certain to read and have a thor-
ough understanding of the portable
fi
re ex-
tinguishing equipment. United States Coast
Guard minimum requirements for portable
fi
re extinguishers maintained aboard your
yacht are as follows:
Yachts longer than 26 feet and shorter
than 40
feet:
Two (2) Type B-I or at least
one (1) Type B-II portable, hand-held
fi
re
extinguisher. If your yacht has a
fi
xed
fi
re
extinguishing system approved by the
United States Coast Guard, one (1) Type B-I
portable
fi
re extinguisher is required.
Yachts longer than 40 feet and shorter
than 65 feet:
Three (3) Type B-I or one (1)
Type B-I and one (1) Type B-II portable,
hand held
