One legal requirement for Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) is that they must be U.S. Coast Guard approved for use on recreational boats. It is also required that there is one wearable PFD of appropriate size for each person onboard the vessel. Additionally, PFDs must be readily accessible and in good condition, with no signs of wear or damage.
What storage method Best meets the readily accessible requirements for PFD's?
Keeping personal flotation devices (PFDs) stored in a designated area that is easily accessible and visible, such as near the water entry point or in a clearly labeled compartment on a boat, is ideal. Storing PFDs in easily identifiable and open locations helps ensure quick access in case of an emergency. Additionally, storing them in a way that they are not obstructed or blocked by other items can further facilitate quick retrieval.
Is it against the boating law to Have an inflatable PFD readily accessible but not worn?
Boating regulations vary from state to state, so it is important to check the regulations within the state that you are boating. Many states allow you to have PFDs accessible but not worn when boating, kayaking and/or canoeing. Most Inflatable PFDs are US Coast Guard approved - the same as non-inflatables. Therefore, you will probably only hear that you have to wear/not wear USCG approved vests. However, most boating deaths can be attributed to the boater, kayaker, etc. not wearing their PFD/Life Vest. Inflatable PFDs are designed to be lightweight and convenient to wear - that is to encourage you to wear the vest at all times. It is extremely difficult to put on a PFD when you are already in the water, if in fact, you can access - get to your vest - once you have already entered the water. Inflatable PFDs are now coming in attractive colors, to also encourage you to wear them.
What type of personal floating device must be kept onboard any vessel 16 feet or longer?
