I wear an auto inflatable belt when I am alone ,also have a wireless kill switch clipped on to it. When I am with others I don't wear one. But auto inflatables are available if someone wants one I think I have 6 on-board. Kids all wear auto inflatables or type III vests.

I also have a type I for everyone on board, some are stowed above deck and some below deck. Also, Survival suits are stowed but when going offshore they are in the bunk area 1 for each on board. Finally 6 man life raft solas A auto inflatable 2 Eprips (1 on boat and one in ditchbag), ditchbag full of stuff including sat phone, vhf, gps, meds, flairs, etc.

Finally....I have one DOG pfd that has a handle on it for fetching the pooch out of the drink...rated for dogs to 60#

I know, it is insane.
