Having these basic essentials readily available will ensure your days on the water are safe yet still full of fun!

✅ Handheld VHF (Very High Frequency) Radio or a fixed VHF to communicate with the coastguard and harbour masters and boat to boat comms.

✅ A sharp knife should you need to cut a rope in an emergency, a must have useful tool onboard

✅ A navigational app like savvy navvy is a useful tool to passage plan but also act as a back up if your main GPS goes down

✅ Enough hydration for everyone on board

✅ A well fitting life jacket for all on on board

We will cover more safety items on future episodes.
