I am in Geelong Vic. and have been looking for a Red jacket for awhile now to modify for some offshore sailing.I have only been able to find a Red Witch so far and wonder if it has similar self righting (ballast ratio),unsinkable characteristics(inbuilt boyancy).

Are you able to recommend a way of fixing this or maybe where I may be able to purchase another?? This is my first yacht and I have thoroughly enjoyed your article and feel I will utilise the information you have provided. I live in Dunsborough and look forward to sailing in the bay here and maybe even the odd trip to Bunbury/Perth - Thanks again Kendall Hi, I have just acquired a red jacket and the front hatch is cracked.

I've had the same problem with the hatch, they are not easy to replace. I ended up making one my self, just out of wood and fibreglass. Its not the same though. Hi Adam, how is the restoration going?
