We are very grateful to the R.A.F (Royal Air Force) and the folks at R.N.A.S Culdrose for providing the expedition with military grade life jackets and life rafts.

>> TWO 1 x PERSON LIFERAFTS carry enough food and emergency drinking water for up to 14 days at sea.

Other supplies include fishing kit, a mirror for signaling aircraft and an edible candle! >>

>> EACH OF THE TWO LIFEJACKETS come equipped with a SARBE personal distress beacon (EPIRB) operating on a military frequency. This allows an aircraft to zero in on an individual in the event of the rafts being separated.

Other equipment includes mini-flares, a VHF radio (as part of the SARBE) and a special knife with a rounded end that can cut cord but not puncture the life raft >>
