[QUOTE="Lt.Dan, post: 5898219, member: 23645"] The way I read it yes, it meets the requirements. 1. Over 12 years not required to [B] wear[/B] a PFD 2. If a person chooses to wear a PFD that is not USCG approved (when not specifically required [see #1]), a properly fitting USCG- PFD must be carried on board the vessel to meet the state and federal requirements. You are reading it right. He is not [B]required [/B]to wear a PDF at all times. You are required to have a USCG approved PDF for everyone on the vessel. What the rule says to me is that inflatable PFDs are only approved for those 16 years of age and up as a legal requirement. Under 16 you must have the non inflatable PFD on board. And of course 12 and under must wear them at all times when on deck. [/QUOTE]
