Adam F Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 I have the RNLI doing a home visit Sea Check tomorrow. The obly item I can think I still need is a proper set of flares. I know it has been posted before, but Inshore or Coastal, and where is the cheapest place to go? Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Coastal, as inshore has not the parachute flare which you really want if you are out in the sea. The cost difference isn't that much, probably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Adam, I got a set of coastal flares from Pumpkin Marine. They are the ones made by Pains-Wessex ( top notch and I have shares in their parent company ) and were around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Adam if you tuck your flares in your boots you will have more room for the brown stuff when you go surfing Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob F Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 Adam, Have you purchased your flares yet? These are the guys that are sponsoring us this year. I hope to borrow a set of demo flares from them this week to bring to the club meeting. http://www.j-marine.co.uk/ They are a local supplier: J-Marine Marine House, 49 Queen Mary Ave Bournemouth, Dorset BH9 1TT, United Kingdom Inshore Kit - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afishionado Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Paul queries........ How are you going to demo the flares in the meeting hall ?? Oh for goodness sake Paul have you no imagination? Adam stands on the stage with all the lights out and says WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!

Adam F Posted October 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 On a serious note (hard I know, but bear with me! ) when I had my sea check last week the RNLI cahp suggested that if we want a life demonstarion on how to use flares the RNLI will give a controlled one for us one night - I was going to bring it up at the next meeting.
