Life Jackets

I don't usually repost things, but I came across this training video and feel that it is something that everyone who sails should see. We have always worn lifejackets, but sadly not everyone does.

We bought two types of life jackets for King Malu from Mailspeed Marine in the UK. 

We bought Mailspeed Marine Charter Lifejackets for guests (link to the right). We have not had an problems with them and our guests have been comfortable in them.

To both types we added military grade light sticks which we tied inside with a lanyard. The military grade light sticks are guaranteed to last for 12 hours, and are worth it compared to the 'party' type light sticks you can often find on ebay.

We bought Secumar life jackets for the permanent crew (link to the left).

These are more comfortable and if you are wearing them for along time are worth the extra cost.

Whatever type of life jacket you use... remember to do up the crotch strap!
