by Tom Stewart, Fox's Marine & Country 5 Jul 2016 17:15 BST 5 July 2016
At this time of year, after the shakedown sails and with the start of summer races and cruises it is important not to forget safety onboard and it's not just the larger items. it's the smaller things that can make all the difference. When was the last time you checked the expiry date on your fire extinguisher and your flares?
