PLASTIMO liferaft recall
Yesterday, on Island 92's (91.9 FM St Maarten) Yacht Blast program, presenter Gary Brown said that PLASTIMO is recalling their liferafts manufactured between May 23 and October 30, 2008, due to a problem with the triggering mechanism.
I'll do a quickie search to see what I can find out, but you definitely don't want THAT problem. Does it go off at the wrong time or not at all????
More soon come!
Here's something from Yachting Monthly:

There's also something on the Plastimo (http://www.plastimo.com) home page which gives you a link to here: http://www.plastimo.com/uk/services/defaultuk.php
Thanks for the info, Gary!!!
It's another beautiful morning in St. Maarten. Maltese Falcon is back with us in Simpson Bay... there goes the neighborhood :)
