"Indigo," our Antares 44 is preparing to go coastal (Sea of Cortez) then off-shore next year. She has crash boxes at both bow and stern and we have an 11 foot RIB.

The question is do we buy a liferaft - one school of thought is that because cats rarely sink we don't need one . . . . but what to do in the event of a fire ?

Any thoughts appreciated.
