Hi there all,
My dad and I just picked a Sunfish over the weekend. Years ago, we used my aunt's boats for many years on various lakes up in the Adirondacks of NY State. My questions is this - back then we used these little belts as PFDs... are those belts still available and more importantly still legal? I poked around a bit and have not found them available for purchase so I am starting to assume they are no longer legal as a PFD. I'm sure someone knows what I'm talking about. I prefer the belt to a vest. Admittedly they are not as safe so in the end we will probably end up with vests to use with our "new" (it's a '74) Sunfish.
Thanks!
