Your PFD can save your life

"If I wasn't wearing my lifie, there's a good chance I wouldn't be here today," says Lauren Gineo, who is the recipient of the 2007 Jamie Boeckel Memorial Fund Scholarship.

In an article published in the October issue of WindCheck magazine, Lauren also describes how she has been a model to her windsurfing buddies on Narraganset Bay who had previously "...chuckled at the sight of me and my bulletproof vest."

Also see this note that was recently circulated to the college sailing crowd about using Coast Guard approved PFDs and this about a professional captain who fell off his yacht at the dock.
