Is the Lifesling2 approved by the USCG requirement (160.050) for a 24"

not sure it qualifies and am looking for others' interpretation.

I believe it's only good for pleasure craft. You could just call the
local CG office.

Found this with a quick search... The Lifesling2 is U.S. Coast Guard
Approved and fulfills the requirement for a throwable device on some
pleasure vessels.

You could also ask the manufacturer directly.
