WHY IS THIS LIFEBUOY SO HEAVY ???

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:

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.

Look up STCW training videos its the standardized safety training of all seafarers

[@WorkonaSuperyacht]

Short and to the point. Another well done and informative video.

[@stevenpower8457]

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.

[@WorkonaSuperyacht]

Thank you, Steven. I really appreciate the encouragement.

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

The irony I have been wondering about that🤔 thanks Matthew

[@rudideghelt]

Big thank you Matt, have you ever had a bad experience 😥 using this kind of material? in real not in exercice 👍👍👍👍🙏🙏

[@rpartington88]

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

[@JuanFox]

Great video, Matt! I hope to see more security equipment videos!

[@frankv4271]

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]

Thanks for all these fantastic suggestions, Frank. They shall be a great source of inspiration for new videos in the coming months.

[@jeudisrosales9240]

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.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

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.

[@malcolmtaylor6651]

Interesting info even for people who don't work on a superyacht!

[@paratyshow]

👍☑️ Tks

[@lusoyachting36]

Another learning experience for me. Thanks Matt

[@andiscott8470]

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... ;)

[@josegaitor8970]

Great videos!!! Very educational. Tried looking to follow you on other social media platforms to keep up with becoming a captain

[@user-ty7fs6ir6y]

Cool! I didn't know.

[@DavidSmiddy1]

I work on the exact same 40m princess sister ship to yours!

"...Throw Overboard Immediately! Do NOT panic and stuff into a locker then run away!!"

[@aleksandrrubanov2992]

Interesting video 👍 By the way , salaries on yacht , payed every month or just the months onboard ?

[@WorkonaSuperyacht]

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

[@liveloveyachting7065]

Imagine the MOB being hit by a 4kg life buoy. The thrower must be very carefull with that 😝

[@lyndaster46]

Every now and then I wonder.. are these videos prompted by events? LOL I hope I am wrong, but hey, stuff happens!!!

[@beautywearsboots6458]

Hi Matt, just curious based on some of the info you've shared, what size yacht are you working on, and how big is your crew?

[@coskanozen1792]

👏👏👏👏👏👏

Can you help how to applying yatch chef Job's

[@wayneneale5059]

question ------------ is there a difference between of a captain off a motor powered yacht and a wind powered yacht

[@WorkonaSuperyacht]

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.
