If you need a 6-person, I would get a low-profile canister and mount it over the sea-hood. Or possibly get it in a soft valise and build a low-profile box/step to secure in/on the companion bridgedeck while underway (removed and stowed in port.) |
John,
I checked, and I can fit a 6 person valise in the aft cockpit locker, or as you said a 4 person in the port locker (only the winslow fits into the low profile). I have looked at the Winslow rafts and like their features, light weight and small valise size, but wanted a self righting raft after viewing of videos showing sailors righting rafts in calm water. Not something I would expect my son to do in rough weather, and certainly not something you can practice a few times.
Am I overvalueing this feature?
Bernd
