Lifeboat

[PHILIP SHULLO]

I am preparing my 30C for a trip north and rather than deal with all the bridges and narrow passages in the ICW, I am planning to go outside at from Ft. Lauderdale at least to Georgia and maybe to North Carolina before entering the ditch. I am not planning to get too far off the coast but I am looking at all my options for safety. 

Do any of you folks carry inflatable lifeboats onboard, and if so how/where do you stow them?

Thanks,

Phil

Hi Phil;

We rented a 6 person self inflating raft for the Mackinac race last year.  It was packed into a cube ~16 to 20” on a side a fit nicely under the table in the cabin.  Out of the way, and reasonably accessible if required.

 

Rental details are probably not of interest to you but here they are anyway.

Phil:  I’m not sure if you mean an inflatable dingy or life raft.  I believe that auto-inflate rafts are available for rent, possibly through West Marine or others.

Best choice is the Winslow SLRR, super light rescue raft.  Comes in different sizes and storage valise fits anywhere.

In conjunction with a 406 MHZ Epirb, you are set to go.

I have a small Ditch bag attached to my raft, and would be happy to let you know what is in it, if you are interested
