One of the standing orders on my boat is that if you are on deck and out of the cockpit you must wear your float. But I'm curious about what the rest of you think. Do you wear them or not? I don't wear them, nor know anyone who wears them in normal conditions, but it IS still is a good idea. Cheers, Bruce At least over here, it could be seen as a responsibility thing. If someone went over the rail without a PFD and died, heirs might start a legal witch hunt. But if you (the person responsible for the safety of everyone aboard) DO require them and the above happens I think you'd have a better stance in court. Sux, maybe, that such is a consideration. But it is. -- Richard Lamb email me: web site: http://www.home.earthlink.net/~cavelamb |
