Mr. Sandman · 12-19-2009, 11:16 AM

I am reading thru a 128 page "brochure" that some Alaskan fishermen put out in 2008 that condenses the safety regs to 128 pages. I am looking to refit my boat safety wise to conform to 50+ miles offshore and cold water safety regs as set for commercial fishing. Is there a check list of sorts that basically outlines what exactly is needed? I think I know the key stuff and I think I have most of what is needed (life rafts/epirbs/type 1pfd's etc...) but it would be nice to see a few pages that outline want guys that fish offshore really should have.
