Nautical trivia question for the day

 

What is the official difference between a lifejackets and a personal flotation device (pfd)?

 

There is a very specific difference between the two devices .... or rather two very specific differences.

A lifejacket must roll an unconscious person onto their back and lift their mouth and nose 150mm clear of the water. A pfd may do the same thing, and most will roll an unconscious user onto their back, but most won't achieve the 150mm clearance required to be classified as a lifejacket.

 

So, in short, you're absolutely correct BP :)
