Safety comes first to our team here at Life Raft Store, which is why we follow regulations dictated by the International Convention for the Safety of Life At Sea, or SOLAS. Regulations dictate that if your aircraft is over 12,500 lbs you need to have a TSO'd Life Raft. Under 12,500 you can have a recreational raft. The one exception to this raft rule is in the case you are flying Part 135, then the rule for ELTs applies. TSO'd rafts need to have a TSO'd ELT as well. Recreational rafts are allowed a regular PLB or ELT. Part 91 has a lot of leeway, so you can use any PLB, any Life jacket as long as they are Part 91 approved.

Winslow Life Raft Features
When you are looking for a life raft, you should look for a number of different features that will be of great use to you. Here at Life Raft Store, we offer Winslow Marine life rafts for sale that you will want to purchase.
A marine life raft serves as a floating platform to keep you protected from the elements such as freezing cold water or scorching hot sun in the rare but serious event that you need to abandon your boat. Exposure in open water is a dangerous thing. Most life rafts have a canopy. This provides protection from exposure and can even collect and channel rainwater for drinking. A life raft also serves as a larger visual target for rescuers to see, especially from the air.
Here are some of the features you can find in a Winslow Marine life raft for sale:
- At least two separate flotation chambers. Insulated floors (two inflatable layers or with insulating material).
- An inflatable canopy covering the entire raft. Large ballast bags suspended below the raft to stabilize it in high winds or waves.
- A boarding platform to make the raft easier to enter from the water.
- A substantial survival kit to support the rated number of occupants with food and water for more than 24 hours.
- An automatically deployed drogue or sea anchor.
- All Winslow Rafts are packaged using Winslow's own UltimaWrap to keep your raft vacuum sealed and protected to ensure long life.
The longer the estimated duration before the evacuation, the more extensive the raft will be. This is because it would have to have enough room for all the provisions you need to carry. Distance to evacuation is impacted by how far you are from shore (can a helicopter locate you?); how far you are from regular shipping routes (determines how long it takes for a redirected vessel to locate you); and the emergency tracking and positioning devices you carry, such as EPIRB, PLB, SPOT, Sat Phone, InReach or some other mobile transmitter. It is hard to determine just how long you could be in a raft, so choosing the worst-case scenario strategy is safest.
Hypothermia is a concern even though you're inside a marine life raft and you're not actually submerged in freezing water. Sitting in a life raft with an uninsulated single-layer floor can easily lower your body temperature, particularly if you're wet. The insulated floor dramatically reduces the rate of onset of hyperthermia. Don't wait until it is too late to purchase your Winslow marine life rafts for emergency situations
