Lives saved in TBYC Bar?
At the recent Lifejacket Clinic, RNLI experts found loose and corroded cylinders, out-of-date activators, missing crotch straps, and abraded holes in jackets from all sections of the Club.
Nationally, the RNLI find faults in over 1/3 of lifejackets checked, and recommend annual servicing and monthly quick checks. Check yours over now – the life you save may be your own!
Following the Thorpe Bay drowning in December, the RNLI now recommend automatic activation for inflatable lifejackets, as well as crotch straps, and – for cruisers – spray hoods and lights.
The Cruising Section thank the Southend RNLI Sea Safety Team for running the clinic.
