Make sure that everyone on board knows how to launch the raft properly.
- Check to ensure that the launching area is clear of people and obstructions.
- Two people should grasp the container at the ends, and toss it over the lee side of the vessel.
- After launching, pull the painter until it is fully withdrawn and the raft inflates.
- If the raft over inflates, you will hear the sound of air escaping.
- If the raft inflates upside down, it must be made upright before boarding.
