    Type 5 PFD's

    Thanks Thanks for the feedback. I didn't get wet the day I used the vest. I will probably invest in a Type III with lots of mesh that does not require inflating.

    Has anyone used a Type 5 PFD? I am considering the inflatable PFD after using one an a bass boat. It was a lot cooler wearing it all day in the Texas summer heat.

    Fixed Keel on your Omega Looking at the photo, your keel bolts and plate are in exactly the same location as the centerboard and brackets on my Omega. Maybe someone got creative. I checked the parts list from Catalina, no mention of a keel.
