Top 7 Essentials for Marine Equipment in Dubai 1) Life Jackets: - Whether you have children, or adults on board, they all NEED a proper fitting life jacket. It is the single most important piece of safety equipment that you can have, and the easiest to operate. You simple WEAR IT, and it is ready for any "man overboard" situation that can arise.
2) Anchor & rope: - One of the most neglected pieces of equipment has to be the anchor. It plays a vital role in everyday boating since it can save you, and your boat from serious damage should you suffer from "mechanical failure'. The anchor should be securely attached, and the anchor rode examined for excessive wear. 3) Marine charts: - It's the law to have Marine Navigational Charts on board. It also makes good sense to have them "up-to-date", and covering the bodies of water that you will be navigating. 4) Safety equipment: - The Coast Guard requirements state that all vessels have to have a minimum amount of equipment on board depending on boats size, and use. Common items such as Anchor, Life Jackets, Navigation lights, Sound signaling device, Fire Extinguishers, Bilge pumps or Manual pumping device, Float lines, re boarding device (ladder for free board), just to name a few. For exact details contact your local Coast Guard office. 5) Fuel: It's the number one reason of "boating incidents". You can easily save yourself the headache by simply filling up before heading out to go boating. You
should remember the 1/3 rule, which is 1/3 to get to your destination, 1/3 to back from your destination, and finally 1/3 of the fuel which is reserve. The reserve fuel can be important since certain factors like current, wind, and bad weather can affect your fuel economy. 6) Water & Spare clothes - Even when the weather forecast is calling for a lovely day, you never know when "mother nature" can through your plans overboard! By having fresh water, and some spare dry clothes, you can make the difference between a good day, and a bad day. 7) VHF Radio - With today's "connected" society, cellular phones are readily available, however they do not replace the Marine VHF radio. The advantages of VHF are that you can quickly, and easily reach the Coast Guard, in case of an emergency. Since the majority of boaters scan/listen to channel 16, they could very well be the first to arrive and offer assistance at a time of need. Any seasoned boater will tell you that the VHF is indispensable in the nautical environment.
