Mike,
I am trying to locate th regulations for PFD requirements when operating offshore approx. 3-15 miles.
I seem to remember that Tyoe I PFD's are required, but I can't find anything to support that. Coming down the West Coast, I am assuming that at some point or another we will be boarded. I am planning bringing my own personal Type I, but I am trying to convince the opwner to purchase them for the rest of the crew. The threat of a citation may motivate him a bit more.
Thanks for your help!
