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
Both of these items are extremely important if sailing conditions deteriorate and visibility is
restricted. Foghorns of the canister pressure type are good. Spare canisters should be carried aboard,
and the "lung power" type makes a reliable back up.
Sailboats may not be identified well on radar, therefore a radar reflector is a must. These can be purchased
commercially. The radar reflector should be stored carefully to prevent damage because the performance of
the unit is directly related to the accuracy of the intersect angles of the component planes.
11.10 Anchor
The type and quantity of anchors carried will vary from region to region according to the sea bottom
conditions. Each anchor should include an adequate size and length of line along with chain to ensure
that the anchor lies properly and penetrates the bottom. Chain, also, is immune to chafe from bottom
structure such as coral.
