Subject: TWL: Re: PFD's for children - required

When our first grandkids came on the boat several years ago, we insisted
that they wear PFDs anytime they were not on shore and away from the water.
We purchased childrens PFDs in several sizes for guests use also.
The result is that none of them will go on the dock without his PFD and will
not go outside the salon or pilot house without it. This is in spit of the
fact that we have a Portuguese bridge and walk around decks.
We added a mesh around the flybridge railing to protect children (and
adults) from going overboard. The mesh is see-through and matches the window
covers.
Even if the regs don't require PFDs - we do.
