First Minutes in the Raft

The first minutes in a liferaft set the tone. Survivors are cold, frightened, wet, and possibly injured. Turn panic into tasks: headcount, injuries, painter, sea anchor, canopy, bailer, inflation checks, communications, lookout, and warmth.

Do not let the raft drift unmanaged if a sea anchor is available and appropriate. It can improve stability and reduce drift.

  • Headcount and injury check first.
  • Secure or cut painter according to danger.
  • Stream sea anchor if appropriate.
  • Bail, close canopy, and organise equipment.
