Tom and Karen of the vessel Sea Rows maintain a comprehensive emergency safety plan centered on VHF radio protocols, ditch bags, EPIRBs, and life raft management. To facilitate distress calls, they keep a Mayday sheet at the navigation station listing the boat’s length, beam, draft, U.S. Coast Guard number, radio license, and MMSI number, alongside a phonetic alphabet reference.1:08 They store two ditch bags in the cockpit, one containing basic supplies and another holding a 48-hour food and water pack.2:47 The EPIRB is mounted under the port helm for automatic deployment if the boat sinks, with registration updated annually.3:14 They store an eight-person valise-style life raft in an aft cockpit locker to protect it from weather and theft, acknowledging this requires more deployment time than a deck-mounted hard case.5:04 They recommend attending the professional recertification of the life raft to observe the inflation process and understand how to board the craft.7:02
