Guess you did well out of that membership fee! One thing that I have noticed in teaching is how clueless most RIB owners or other towing drivers are that they are in fact required by law to carry a...

No, the bit under you're legs is the crotch strap. You should ALWAYS wear this (MOB lost in sydney-hobart by slipping out the bottom of his inflated lifejacket), as the lifejacket is useless without...

My 2p worth
In answer to the original question, I have found the Imray set to be ideal for the local area. It's fairly durable, excludes a lot of the useless information needed only by things over several...

Watertight containers
Spot on!
