Tips For Spring Launch from an expert in marine surveys

Happy Cruising!

Take A Look At Safety Gear

As spring approaches, and preparations begin for launch, take a look at safety gear. Firstly, is everything aboard for your crew in working order or up to date? In addition, if something needs to be replaced, replace it with a new replacement?

Check Lifejackets - PFD’s

Check life jackets (PFD’s) for tears. Also, clean or dry material and that can be stowed in a readily accessible location.

Personal Locator Beacons

If whistles or PLB’s (Personal Locator Beacons) are fitted, do they work?

Manually Inflating The Automatic Inflatable PFD’s

Have you considered manually inflating the automatic inflatable PFD’s?

Are The CO2 Cartridge's Dates Green?

Don’t forget: Test all Smoke, CO2, Gas, and High Water Bilge alarms.
