How comprehensive a first aid kit do you put on safety boats?

Pretty basic. Small lake, big kit on shore.

Just get a small BS kit, will have whats needed in a neat box/ bag and chuck in a few spare 'space blankets'
Not the cheapest supplier to the 'public' but gives an idea of what the BS kit contains

little point to carry much beyond a field dressing or three and some form of blanket in a safety boat ... we've had previous quite heated discussions in the past about whether extrication boards should be carried on rescue boats in the light of some of the head and spinal injuries sustained in high energy oopses ...
I agree that a reasonable first aid kit and consideration of resus kit ( especially an AED) ashore should feature in the overall plan / risk assessment especially if your water is remote from main roads and settlements .
