My 43 ft ketch is nearing completion so I'm starting to take an interest in communication, navigation and safety equipment.
I have been offered a RFD four man liferaft at a very good price but I have rejected it because it is classified as "Marine Coastal APPROVED" "Return for service 30.6.2016". It obviously has never been used as it is in a sealed hard valise. I'm told it was used by a marine rescue organisation but why are they tossing it out?
I know nothing about liferafts but now I'm wondering if I did the right thing by rejecting it? Maybe it can be upgraded for offshore use with (for example) additional equipment such as epirb?
