Adam F Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Right, the last thing on my list before I can have my safety check is flares. I already have 6x handheld 'personel' flares onboard, but need the proper set. Offshore, Coastal or Inshore? I fish 99% of the time within 5/6 miles of nearest land and probably 10-15 miles from nearest port. I know you cant put a price on safety, but bearing in mind how much these bloody things cost - I just want to have the right ones.

Paul D Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Inshore is inadequate - you really need some parachute flares. I would recommend to go for the coastal set ( ie. 2 parachute flares, 2 red hand held and 2 orange hand held I think - without leaving PC to check ! ). I think this is the requirement to meet the safety check as well. Got mine from Pumpkin Marine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam F Posted July 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Cheers Bob and others, Ill pop down to Aladdins next week and kit myself out. I already have a set of personal flares, will probably get the coastal pack and add a floating orange smoke to it. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
