  • In this video we'll be taking a look at why some lifebuoys are heavier than others. Lifebuoys are a critical piece of ship life saving equipment, so it's important to ensure that each one has the correct specification.
    For further information about lifebuoys, MOB light and smoke signals, or anything else relating to safety on board ship, please refer to the LSA Code. A copy of this should be available on the Bridge of your vessel.
    And for more videos about what it's like working on a yacht and how to become a yacht crew member, please check out the rest of the channel.

    Thank you for watching, and remember:
    Work on a superyacht, move up through the ranks, and maximise YOUR potential!

    Great video Matt, I had no idea that the lifebuoy near the helm was heavier and for that reason. Really interesting!

    Great video! Perhaps you might consider doing a few more 'worst case scenario' videos such as 'fire procedures', 'MOB procedures' and maybe even 'collision' procedures! Enjoying your videos as usual! Keep up the great work.

    Matthew, thank you so much for sharing this important lifesaving man-overboard information. It is great for everyone that ever goes out on the water to understand what equipment is there for their safety.

    Once again Matt, excellent video... everything onboard has a purpose and a reason to be there, thanks for making this easier to understand for us as we're preparing ourselves to commence in this industry.

    Excellent video. I'm often surprised that you don't have even more views and subscribers, but then remember that most of your audience works in an industry that lacks reliable fast internet access. When that changes, you'll probably see epic channel growth.

    Cracking bit of info! Thanks for sharing that... :) Always loved during safety and survival training, when talking about the night time flares... "Ribbed for pleasure!" always got a giggle or two... ;)

    Enjoyed your video again Matthew.
    These lifebuoys always seemed to decorative then functional, I guess that is a good thing, meaning no man overboard, good job for all those yachts out there.
    I'm going to add a few video suggestions myself;
    1 - How do you go about creating a to do list?
    2 - How do you go about deciding what work to do a any given day?
    3 - Collaborating with your colleagues for content from the other departments on board. They don't need to be on camera, but I'm sure their information might be valuable to you and your viewers.
    Again keep up the good work.

      @WorkonaSuperyacht  Před 2 lety

      Thank you, Aleksandr. In my experience, salaries are paid monthly for crew members who have permanent contracts.

    • @WorkonaSuperyacht
      @WorkonaSuperyacht  Před 2 lety

      Hello Wayne. Aside from their experience, nothing. The RYA issue different Yachtmaster certificates depending on whether the candidate chose to do motor or sail, but once you progress to MCA qualifications there is no distinction.
