11.0 SAFETY EQUIPMENT
SAFETY SHOULD BE THE FIRST CONCERN OF EVERY SAILOR, AND CERTAIN ITEMS
SHOULD ALWAYS BE CARRIED ON THE YACHT.
11.1 Fire Extinguishers
Fire extinguishers should be carried on each yacht. Depending upon the size of the yacht, owners may
carry several extinguishers mounted in the yacht so they would be readily accessible. These extinguishers
should be certified with regular inspection and testing dates shown on each unit. Please consult
governing regulations as they apply to your yacht and area sailed.
11.2
Life Jackets
One life jacket for each member of the crew must be carried. They should be of a type approved by your
respective governing agency.
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
