Life Jacket storage

Post by amytom »

I've seen quite a few ideas here about storing many different things but I don't recall anyone sharing ideas for life jacket storage. We currently have wood strips across what used to be the nav station seat and the life jackets are tucked in there. I'm hoping to hear some better ideas from the group.

We keep two in the Dingy gear bag in the dingy, and another for in a larger abandon ship bag in the aft berth, and a bag of four in a storage compartment that we break out and hang from the davits when we have a gathering for a day sail. I keep inflatable life jackets and harnesses under the floor on the bridge deck.
