DO NOT ATTACH PFDS TO YOUR BOAT
Each PFD has straps, hooks, buckles, or other means for securing the
device in place on the wearer. Some PFDs also incorporate decorative
D-rings or tabs. Such items are not to be used to attach the device
to the boat. Attaching the device to the boat will not permit it to
perform as intended.
EXCEPTION: Your PFD has a built-in sailing harness (with webbing
attachment point at bottom front) intended for attaching to boats
using a quick-release under-load tether. See Instructions For Use of
Sailing harness (p. 27). Do not attach the PFD to boats using any
other means.
