Hi,
since last year I am using the Subaru Robin for my travel to company internal business meetings from ie. Germany via Antwerp (Belgium) to the United Kingdom (all this side of the pond - Europe). This is the Robin – all wood
)):
The legs are between 35 minutes (this is the ´cheaters route´ via Belgium) and 55 minutes (direct over the North Sea) over water. In FEB/MAR and OCT/NOV the water is too chilly so even with a life vest which I am wearing every time of course the chances are small to survive if I have to ditch (heaven forbid
).
So this year I am looking for a small one person life raft (ie. www.switlik.com/pdf/isplr_brochure.pdf) which I intend to use in the RV-4 from March onwards as well (so a bigger raft is no option).
Questions:
a.) does anybody have experience with the small life rafts in real life from trainings (ie. from the military),
b.) has someone used such a thing in the RV-4 cockpit and
c.) has somebody one for sale maybe?
Thanks, Heinz
