Why do ALL boaters need a life raft?
Safety experts estimate that half of all drowning victims die
from the fatal effects of cold water, or hypothermia, and not
from water filled lungs. Having a life raft aboard your vessel
can help you avoid direct contact with the elements that can
cause hypothermia, as well as provide you with the supplies you
might need in order to sustain life should anything ever happen
to your vessel.
