UK-Halsey has just posted two new safety at sea videos. Their sixth video covers the care and maintenance of inflatable PFDs. This one goes through the different types of vests on the market, how to service them and how to check them annually to insure you will be kept afloat if you go overboard. The seventh video clearly shows the difference between SOLAS approved flares and US Coast Guard approved flares. Nothing shows the contrast so well as a side-by-side comparison.
In an effort to promote safe sailing, UK-Halsey has created this library of videos that were either taken at or inspired by, the first ever hands on Safety at Sea Seminar at the US Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, NY. The videos cover man overboard procedures, inflating a life raft, using storm sails and much more. To see all the videos, click here or go to the Learning Center of the UK-Halsey web site.
