recommendatinos for life vests requested

Post by mthurmaier » Sun Oct 20, 2024 11:20 am

Hi,

Most of my sailing has been day sailing along the coast outside Ponce Inlet in Florida. As such, I have fairly standard PFDs for most passengers, and two horse-collar, auto-inflating PFDs with built-in harness. I put one of the later on each time I go off shore in the event I have to go out on deck while out in the ocean.

The one thing these horse-shoe PFDs don't have is a place to attach a strobe or epirb, both of which I think are essential to open-water sailing. So, I'm looking for recommendations. Do you have, and would you recommend a PDF that has:
1. Horse-shoe design
2. Built in harness
3. Auto or manual inflation
4. place to clip on strobe
5. place to clip on epirb

Thank you very much in advance for any recommendations (for or against) a particular make and model?
