Have you checked your lifejacket?
Boaties are being urged to check their lifejackets before going out on the water.
Old kapok lifejackets, not made since the 1980s, are still being discovered even though they should have been destroyed by now. Gas cylinders in inflatable lifejackets can also corrode and leak if they are not checked.
Manufacturers recommend that lifejackets should be replaced after 10 years.
