There was a recent Transport for NSW survey on proposed PFD changes. Now closed. Not knocking it, but I’m unsure about more regulations and more laws really making things safer. This type of thing falls into the similar category as COVID-19 regs. People who don’t do the right thing or the common sense thing will continue to do so no matter how many new regs get on the books. We have had fairly tight PFD laws now for some time but still have drownings. I would be interested in everybody’s thoughts on this .
You can jump on a surfboard and paddle to NZ if you have a leg rope and your not breaking any laws as far as I’m aware but on my old mooring position I had to put on a PFD to go out to my cruiser in the tender as it was more than the regulated distance from shore. Go figure.
