sail2wind said:Bill_S said: You can use a plastic coated cable or chain and a lock to run thru the armholes or the sewn loops on the life jackets AFTER YOU DOCK and then thru the permanent handholds on the dinghy.
Not having readily available life preservers for each watercraft passenger readily available is not only unlawful, but also "dumber than dirt"!
<img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> Bill, comments not appreciated. I have been sailing the VI's for 20+ years. I have never seen a dinghy with PFDs unless there are kids aboard. I have never heard any charter briefer ask or suggest putting 6-8 PFDs in a 10' dinghy Your a fool to put your self and guests in a situation that could be avoided in an emergency. PFD are required for a reason. Get with it. Its common practice that any competent boater knows about and adheres to. Glad I don't sail with you. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />
