GRAB BAGS

Some helpful hints
For economic and volumetric reasons, liferafts are packed with only the absolutely indispensable array for suvival. Plastimo strongly recommends that you prepare your own grab bag which will be easy to access to in an emergency or, better still, attached to the liferaft in a watertight bag or canister. Among the most vital things : · Clothes, marine glasses and eye-care, essential medication, sun-block. · Navigation equipment. · Distress beacon, VHF, GPS. · Water or reverse osmosis watermaker, food. · Torches with batteries, ropes and lanyards, gloves, sun hat.
