Top 7 Essentials for Marine Equipment in Dubai
1) Life Jackets - Whether you have children,
or adults on board, they all NEED a proper
fitting life jacket. It is the single most
important piece of safety equipment that you can
have, and the easiest to operate. You simple WEAR
IT, and it is ready for any "man overboard"
situation that can arise.

1. Anchor rope - One of the most neglected pieces
   of equipment has to be the anchor. It plays a
   vital role in everyday boating since it can save
   you, and your boat from serious damage should you
   suffer from "mechanical failure'. The anchor
   should be securely attached, and the anchor rode
   examined for excessive wear.
2. Marine charts - It's the law to have Marine
   Navigational Charts on board. It also makes good
   sense to have them "up-to-date", and covering the
   bodies of water that you will be navigating.
3. Safety equipment - The Coast Guard requirements
   state that all vessels have to have a minimum
   amount of equipment on board depending on boats
   size, and use. Common items such as Anchor,
   Life Jackets, Navigation lights, Sound
   signaling device, Fire Extinguishers, Bilge
   pumps or Manual pumping device, Float
   lines, re boarding device (ladder for free
   board), just to name a few. For exact details
   contact your local Coast Guard office.
4. Fuel It's the number one reason of
   "boating incidents". You can easily save
   yourself the headache by simply filling up
   before heading out to go boating. You

• should remember the 1/3 rule, which is 1/3 to get
  to your destination, 1/3 to back from your
  destination, and finally 1/3 of the fuel which is
  reserve. The reserve fuel can be important since
  certain factors like current, wind, and bad
  weather can aff ect your fuel economy.
• Water Spare clothes - Even when the weather
  forecast is calling for a lovely day, you never
  know when "mother nature" can through your plans
  overboard! By having fresh water, and some spare
  dry clothes, you can make the difference
  between a good day, and a bad day.
• VHF Radio - With today's "connected"
  society, cellular phones are readily
  available, however they do not replace the Marine
  VHF radio. The advantages of VHF are that you can
  quickly, and easily reach the Coast Guard, in
  case of an emergency. Since the majority of
  boaters scan/listen to channel 16, they could
  very well be the first to arrive and offer
  assistance at a time of need. Any seasoned boater
  will tell you that the VHF is indispensable in
  the nautical environment.
