Your checklist for going afloat As the weather warms up, more and more people are preparing for a new boating season. This makes now a perfect time to ensure you are ready to go afloat. Whether you're powering or sailing out to sea, make sure you: - are wearing a lifejacket or buoyancy aid
- are carrying a means of calling for help
- have an appropriate anchor that holds
- can identify your location
- are using a kill cord (where appropriate for your craft)
Flotation devices like lifejackets and buoyancy aids are a lifesaver – but they are useless unless worn. Your lifejacket will need basic maintenance to keep it working properly. The RNLI recommends you regularly inspect it according to the manufacturer’s instructions and in conjunction with an annual service. If in doubt, take the jacket to the manufacturer’s recommended service agent for checking and repacking. |
