plaicemat Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Morning, James. Why don't you get our safety officer, Mike Fox, to give your boat the RNLI safety check/once over. You will receive sound advice and can be confident your craft is up to scratch. Put you wishes on the forum and use the research put in by other members on sourcing kit. Happy and safe fishing. Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 James Our club has adopted the RNLI sea safety scheme as mentioned by Terry Take a look at http://www.rnli.org.uk/what_we_do/sea_and_...sea_safety_home Mike (our resident safety officer) will probably post here when he picks up this thread, his advice is invaluable. The suggestion of a sea safety check is worth following up. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Fox Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Hi James, I'm always willing to help out club members with any safety matters, and would be more than happy to have a chat. Perhaps if you come to one of the club meetings, we could get the ball rolling? We have one this Thursday in Parkstone as it happens, and you'd be more than welcome to come along then, with no commitment. The chaps will be able to give you loads of ideas! Due to time constraints (work, boat maintenance, and time to find fishing time myself), I'm having to restrict my personal checks to Club Members a little more than before. If you choose not to join the club, and to remain just a Forum Member, I can put you in touch with the local RNLI SEA Safety team, and can arrange for someone else to provide the check for you. Either way, I would strongly recommend having a free independent and objective SEA Safety Check performed, as this will give you a great idea of the safety equipment you really should have before investing in tackle, fish finders etc. Once the safety matters are sorted, and you know how to use them and the boat, then you and your crew will be able to enjoy your fishing in more confidence. I've dropped you a Private Message - follow the link above to see it, and on-screen instructions, if you would like to reply!
