Mal Thomas Posted January 16, 2018 Report Posted January 16, 2018 A crutch strap is very important, make sure your choice has them. charlieannear, Jim and Coddy 3 Quote
Maverick Martin Posted January 16, 2018 Report Posted January 16, 2018 or add them for not a lot of money. A life jacket without one can assist in drowning you! Coddy 1 Quote
Coddy Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 Hate to say it but is your life worth a second hand life jacket? Too many are sold that are faulty at boot shows etc. Anything over 10years old you should really think about replacing anyway. I have seen too many that have not been looked after or checked regularly and suffer accordingly Perhaps its time we had a lifejacket clinic at a club meeting, I am sure Mike & I can arrange to do it.

Totally agree , three new life jackets are my very first purchase before picking up my new boat this weekend . Inshore flare pack next Vhf ( not sure if the old one will be any good after getting a little damp) etc, etc , Jim 1 Quote
Jim Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 Look forward to a Life Jacket clinic refresher. Would be good for the newer members and Good for Me 'cos' I forget things. Jim Quote
