BFA MARINE LIFERAFT RECALL |
|
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE – RECALL FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION
BFA marine has identified some overpressure valves failures on life rafts in use, which may lead to a complete deflation of the compartment when broken. In the event both overpressure valves of the two independent compartments would happen to break, the life raft will not be functional anymore and be useless.
As a preventive measure, BFA marine urges its owners to bring back without delay their life raft to the nearest BFA approved service station, in order to check and potentially replace those overpressure valves.
The models affected are: Atlantic, Pacific, Baltic and XM/BFA Offshore. The scope of the corrective action includes all BFA life rafts manufactured from 1997 until April 2007. (Serial number from 10 001 to 50 180 until year 2002 and all serial numbers starting by prefix XDC after year 2002)

PRESS RELEASE
Wednesday 12 September 2007
At the close of what has been a hectic and extraordinarily successful race season, Janet Grosvenor, who has been Racing Manager and the 'face' of the Royal Ocean Racing Club for more years than she wishes to mention, has decided to step down from the role in early 2008. Jan will however continue to work with the Club in a different capacity as a consultant on specific events such as the Rolex Commodores' Cup 2008 and RORC is naturally delighted to take up her offer.
Commodore of the Royal Ocean Racing Club, David Aisher, commented: "Jan is leaving the job with an irreplaceable legacy of offshore racing run at the highest possible level. The hunt for her successor - no easy task in anyone's eyes - will now commence and we would be delighted to hear from anyone interested in this challenging role". |
