11.3               Life   Buoys   

   

Many   yachts   carry   life   buoys,   which   can   be   easily   stowed   in   a   bracket   on   the   stern   or   adjacent   
to   the   helmsman.         These    life    buoys    should    have    a    gravity-­‐activated      strobe    or    other    bright   
light    attached,    along    with    a    long    line,    which    connects    to    a    -­‐man-­‐overboard    pole.    The   
assembly    facilitates    spotting   the   person   to   whom   the   buoy   has   been   launched    in   any   type   of   
sea   or   visibility   conditions.   

   

11.4               Life   Lines   

   

The   lifelines    aboard   your   yacht   should   be   checked    regularly    to   ensure   their   integrity.    Always   
be   sure   that   access   gates   (if   fitted)    are   closed    before    leaving    the   dock.       Check    carefully    that   
the   swage    end   fittings   are   not   pulling   out   and   that   the   lock   rings   are   on   the   turnbuckle    ends   
and   the   turnbuckles   are   tight.   

   

11.5      Safety   Harnesses   

   

Just    as    with    life    jackets,    a    safety    harness    should    always    be    worn    by    anyone    on    deck.   
These    harnesses   allow   the   wearer   to   be   attached   to   some   permanent   fixture   on   or   above   the   
deck.       They   should   be   of   good   quality    and    capable    of   carrying    the   full   weight    of   the   wearer   
falling   several   feet.   

   

   

   

11.6            Flashlights   

   

The   yacht   should   be   equipped   with   several   water-­‐proof   flashlights,   routinely   checked   to   be   
in   good   condition   with   well   charged   batteries.   Flashlights   serve   as   a   convenience   at   night   
while   moving   about   the   yacht   and   in   trimming   sails   as   well   as   a   safety   precaution   locating   a   
person   overboard.   At   least   two   of   the   lantern   type   should   be   available   on   the   yacht.   

   

11.7            Dinghy   or   Life   Raft   

   

An   inflatable    dinghy   or   life   raft   may   be   carried.    It   should   have   the   capacity    to   carry   your   full   
crew   in   an   emergency.       The   dinghy   may   also   serve   as   

a   

convenience    in   moving   from   yacht   to   

yacht   or   from   yacht   to   shore.          Inflatable      craft    should    be    thoroughly      checked      every    year    to   
ensure    safe    and    proper    operation.    Your    Tartan    Dealer    can    advise    you    where    such   
inspections   are   offered.   

   

11.8            Safety   Flares   

   

Please   consult   Government   regulations   as   they   apply   to   your   yacht   and   your   area.   

   
11.9   Fog   Signals   and   Radar   Reflectors
