SOLAS Text?

[trevpage]

I seen SOLAS referred to with just about any safety device for maritime use. Where can I find the actual SOLAS text? The closest I come to it is International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974 which doesn't actually have the text itself - just brief descriptions.

International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974 gives a reasonable overview, you have to buy the actual detailed documemt, which is actually huge and mostly does not apply to pleasure vessels ( in fatc virtually nothing in the SOLAS convention does). Parts of SOLAS have been superceeded by GMDSS

That explains it. Thanks.
