We have four fire extinguishers onboard. One in the forward cabin, one in the salon, one in the owner’s cabin, and one in the cockpit. They are most likely from 2005, when our boat was built, and we did not feel they are reliable anymore. So we decided to change them all. They are all powder extinguishers, and although that causes major mess if used, that is what it needs to be on a boat.
2 kg fire extinguishers
We also installed 4 smoke detectors, since there were none before. One is in the forward cabin, one in the engine room, one in the slaon, and one in the owner’s cabin.
In the galley we have a fire blanket.
We just hope we never have to use them!
