Re: "Liferaft" is it needed for coastal cruising in UK

Exactly,but I have sailed on all types of boats and most of my friends only hire liferafts for channel type crossings,there must be ideal times when one is able to be used, not in fog tho. there is no time to deploy if you are hit by a large ship, only time maybe to turn and run with it to knock off 5 knots of speed. I agree mostly with "searush"and keep fingers crossed for the future!
