This competely new "SOLAS" life raft's unique design and buoyancy chamber inner sleeves reduce bulk and allow it to fit into a low profile flat fiberglass container. Twin "Gull-Wing" doors facilitate boarding from higher freeboard vessels and the large openings provide excellent ventilation with 360° lookout capability. Double canopy support arch tubes provide substantial head and shoulder room.

If you sell your catch, or fish with the intent to sell, the United States Coast Guard may require your vessel to be equipped in compliance with the requirements of the Commercial Fishing Industry Vessel Safety Regulations. The SWITLIK, USCG Approved, 6 Person CLR-6 MK-II Life Raft meets the Requirements of the Commercial Fishing Vessel Safety Act for those vessels required and/or allowed to carry a U.S.C.G. Approved Coastwise Service Life Raft. For this allowance, your vessel’s documentation status, size and area of operation must meet the criteria of the act. The SWITLIK, SOLAS-6 MK-II Life Rafts with SOLAS “A” or “B” equipment packs meet the requirements, for those vessels fishing beyond 20 miles from shore required to carry a U.S.C.G. Approved SOLAS Life Raft. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONTACT YOUR LOCAL USCG MARINE SAFETY OFFICE (MSO) WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE CONCERNING INTERPRETATION OR APPLICABILITY OF THESE REGULATIONS.
