4.1.7 Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs)
There must be one United States Coast Guard approved
wearable personal flotation device of Type I, II, or III for
each person on board your boat. The PFDs must be in
serviceable condition and readily accessible. A minimum
of three PFDs (two wearable and one throwable) is
required regardless of the number of persons on board.
(A) PFD Type I, Wearable:
This offshore life jacket has the greatest buoyancy. It is
effective for all waters where rescue may be delayed. Its
design allows for turning most unconscious persons in
the water from face down position to a vertical or face-up
position.
(B) PFD Type II, Wearable:
This near-shore buoyant vest provides less buoyancy
than a Type I PFD. It is intended for calm inland waters
or waters where there is a chance of 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 as the Type
I, and it will not turn as many persons under the same
conditions as a Type I.
(C) PFD Type III, Wearable:
Classified as a flotation aid, this PFD allows wearers

• to place themselves in a vertical or face-up position in
the water. Type III PFD has the same minimum buoy-
ancy as a Type II PFD. It has little or no turning ability.
People participating in water sports often prefer this PFD
because it is intended for use in waters where quick res-
cue is possible and it is generally the most comfortable
for continuous wear.
(D) PFD Type IV, Throwable:
You must also have aboard at least one throwable PFD
Type IV device. The Type IV device can be thrown to a
person in the water and held by the user until rescued.
The design does not allow it to be worn. The most com-
mon Type IV PFD are buoyant cushions or ring buoys.
This PFD must be immediately available for use and in
serviceable condition.
4.2 Carbon Monoxide Hazard
(See enclosed brochure concerning Carbon Monoxide poison-
ing and preventing)
As all responsible yachtsmen know, there are unseen
dangers when boating. One danger is serious enough
that we feel the need to specifically bring it to your
attention. It is odorless, colorless, and tasteless, but
can be harmful or fatal if inhaled. Its name is CARBON
MONIXIDE (CO)
4.2.1 Carbon Monoxide Safety
This section is intended to provide educational informa-
tion about carbon monoxide relative to boats and boat-
ing. Carbon Monoxide accumulation is affected by boat
geometry, hatch, window, and door openings, ventilation
openings, proximity to other structures and boats, wind
direction, boat speed, boat maintenance, and a multi-
tude of other variables. This section discusses many of
these and enables the boat owner to better understand
all conceivable variables. Therefore, the boat owner is
cautioned not to exclusively rely on it to prevent the accu-
mulation of Carbon Monoxide.
4.2.2 What is Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon Monoxide is a highly poisonous gas formed by the
combination of carbon and oxygen. Commonly referred
to as CO, its chemical formula is C for carbon and O for
oxygen. CO is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas
that, by itself, cannot be detected by human senses. CO
