Those are the requirements for a cushion that is intended to qualify
as your ONE required throwable device. Rob has a throwable device
mounted on the aft of his boat. It's a throwable ring with a line
attached. He doesn't need his cushions to conform to those
requirements.

Doesn't it have the readily accessible? The CG might argue that it's
not because its line is tied and not easily deployable.

I think "readily accessible" means it isn't buried under a huge pile
of crap in the bottom of a lazzerette. What about lifeslings that are
kept in a container that has to be opened?

Legally, your throwable device doesn't even have to have a line
attached to it, although most think it's a pretty good idea anyway.

I think you're right, but it would be a matter of interpretation by
whomever boards the boat. Given the other safety issues, such as
drinking, they might get picky.
