Get an Etap

I like the idea of living for ever but after doing a survival course am not convinced a liferaft is what I need. I know of sailors in their sixties who keep their life raft below or in a locker, not wanting it nicked but cannot lift it without help. A lot of people keep them on their coachroof but this is not where you need an extra 50Kg and it spoils your view ahead.

I am on my second Etap and have invested in many precautions to try to avoid fire, my biggest possible problem.

Does anyone know...

.......how many Etaps sank before they decided it was necessary to make them unsinkable?

A fig fat zero

All Etaps have been made from the start, 35 years ago, as unsinkable'.
