How often do you change your liferaft ?

[BabaYaga]

When I bought our boat 11 yrs ago and it had a very old BFA 6 man life raft - from memory about 30 yrs old and had not been serviced for years. Took it to our local service station who inflated it in front of us. It inflated well but several seams were lifting but not leaking obviously. It was chucked in the skip as being unservisable. Have not bothered with a new one. I suspect it was left over from when the boat was a sailing school boat.

I have also a BFA raft, 4 man in canister, dating from 1989.
It has been serviced, but only every 5 - 6 years instead of 3.
Last time was in 2011, so 22 years old. No remarks. They service staff claimed they were good quality.
But I will not service it again, it is now time for renewal, I think.
