Bought two valeses, with bold lettering saying, LIFEJACKETS. They are stuffed with USCG approved lifejackets. One holds 6 jackets. The other holds another 3 jackets. These all have the boat name on them, reflective tape and whistles attached. The second valese also holds three inflatables, jack lines and tethers and gets used a lot. I never open the other valese as I rarely have crew anymore. I may leave it home this year.

You could always put them in a spare sail bag, and use them for additional cushioning in a berth when sleeping (or as a pillow, as Martin said).

Nearly everyone on the crew is using a Spinlock Hammar or Pro Sensor, which are ISO certified, and ISAF approved and widely regarded as *superior to nearly everything else, but do not meet USCG requirements. So, the Spinlocks cover the SER (safety equipment requirements) for racing, but would not cover us if boarded the USCG. I am sure other offshore racers have dealt with this same dilemma, but wondered how so. Any recommendations on the most cost and spatially efficient Type1's to buy and stow? Thanks, Kevin C&C 30-2, Osprey Portland, OR *please start another thread if you own an inflatable other than Spinlock and wish to protest it's superiority ;) thx. _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
