Rnli sea safety check

[easyfish1]

i had the sea safety check by the RNLI on the boat today, exelent free service and advice by the life boat sea safety officer, no pass or fail scenario just good advice regarding safety equipment and it's use onboard your boat

it took about an hour and a half, i'd recomend having this done before the season starts

it's available to book through the RNLI web site


SEA Check - the RNLI can help make your boat as safe as possible

I agree Rob, you think the boat is sorted safety wise, but these guys come along and point out some crucial things you've overlooked, well worth the time spent.....

 

[easyfish1]

apparently you can't really use flares from 1987........................

 

[The Jester]

I still wear mine from 1973 , dont tell me you had flares that much out of date Rob

 

[easyfish1]

[easyfish1]

making a donation wasn't mentioned at all during the sea check,

I put in 50 notes for my last one as they went right over the boat and for free so i thought that these guys are the ones when it all goes tits up who are there for you

good to see you have had it done was there any shockers ??

no, not really, the boat and equipment is well maintained anyway, he mentioned using a safety harness when up on the front messing with your anchor if you're in a rough sea, but i doubt we'll be out when it's rough...we're to much of fair weather fishermen, sunshine and deck chairs..

and the biggie.....wearing life jackets, not just having them onboard
