What is your lifejacket policy?

Again, entirely appropriate, in both cases.

I don’t understand your thinking on a 50ft boat, what boat do you have.

I know you don't.

As others have said, this is all very well unless he strikes his head going overboard.

If this is a genuine concern, surely all guests and crew should be outfitted with some kind of helmet too? Lightweight cycle helmets you barely know you're wearing, just like a modern lifejacket.

After all, if someone tumbles off the flybridge of a 50ft boat and smashes their head on the side rails, the head injury could be far more of an issue than the dunking.

 

[ari]

Why are you being a nob.

Please don't call me names because you're unable to understand the point I'm making.

It's most unedifying and reflects very badly on you.

In my experience, there is little risk in falling off the fly. On all the fly’s I’ve been on, the only risk is falling down the stairs. I’ve managed this once, with no harm done. I’ve also tumbled into the lazerette, again with no harm done. For me, walking around the side decks is a bigger risk. This is where “one hand for the boat, and one for me” is good practice.
