Hi there, before we went over our first bigger passage in the northsea we already purchased a bfa Pacific liferaft. It is ISAF certified and i decided for the 6 person container size. It just fits well into our catamaran. It has additional equipment inside the liferaft lik water, food, light, seasicknesstablets and other stuff. I think we will never use it since as long as a catamaran is afloat you are stupid to jump into the raft. Of course if the boat is burning well THAT is a reason :-)

The dinghy is pulled up to the davits and then is only leaning against the davits. This is the factory thinking. In our case this meant in heavier seas the dinghy was squealing and moving and wiggling and it was just annoying. So the owner of Sunways showed me his idea of adding another stainless steel tube to prevent the Dinghy from rocking in the davits. I gave the order to Sopromar in Lago, Portugal and they did a good job. The dinghy is now pulled in and then secured between the davits and the new stainless steel tubes. As you can see here the dinghy is now absolutly safe and secure. Also there is no wear on the rubber of the expensive caribe Dinghy :-)
