Default Suits vs Rafts

make sure the raft is not tied to the boat


Bad advice. The raft needs to be tied to the boat from the time just
before it is deployed/inflated until the last person is aboard. There
is a knife as part of the raft equipment to cut it loose, and the
tether attachment is designed to break before the raft can be pulled
under.

If you do not tie the raft to the boat it will either not inflate when
you throw it overboard, be blown away, or both.
