Why is it so important to have good safety equipment?

Q: Why is it so important to have good safety equipment?

Depending on where and what kind of boating you do, privately used recreational boats may be required or only recommended to carry certain safety equipment. For example, in Germany recommendations regarding this are issued by the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency, the German Sailing Association or Germanischer Lloyd. In the practice of good seamanship, it goes without saying that you should carry safety equipment appropriate to the type of boating you do and where you do it. The skipper is personally responsible for ensuring that the equipment is sufficient and in working order for all crew members - this also applies on a rental or charter boat.<a href="https://www.svb24.be/en/category/safety-rescue-equipment.html#internal-link_whyisitsoimportanttohavegoodsafetyequipment">Read more</a>
