Sobering thoughts considering his upcoming cruise to Greenland... I don't blame him for being conservative with essential lifesaving equipment!

No argument here as to the necessity of strong attachment points, which D/H is preparing.
The question is about onboard location that preferably is visible and allows easy deployment.
The word locker implies a space that is locked...but maybe it is just a speciall recess. DH will know best.
Few years ago a young lady from
Israel was with a friend on a
boat that
lost its
keel and capsized 'turtle' in the
Indian ocean. If I remember correctly they had to dive and release the L/R from the underwater deck (luckily the L/R was not self
inflatable as in such case it will inflate under the boat and maybe impossible to take out).
I wonder if they could release the L/R from a dedicated deck locker.
