Is It possible to be able to drive my launch from the kaipara to raglan
I don't want to disrespectful but, l have the same life jacket that you are wearing, l have done some tests on it from my PwC. Mine 9 times out of ten it will not flip me onto my back from a face plant entry to the sea. It will in time, but definitely not fast enough, and needs assistance from waves to do it at any speed, and sometimes never. Thats more than 40% of the time from that angle. So l brought a good inflatable and tested that in the same way. Without a lie, it flips me back within 3 seconds every time no matter what the water is doing or the angle of entry. It never failed, l used 15 canisters in testing from still water to a rough sea. It has much more floatation, Plus it has a water storm hood and a harness, a cheap phone in a plastic bag, a location device, a whistle and a waterproof torch all in it. Apart from it being slightly heavy, l don't know l have it on. I don't think I would use the old one again, because l think it's fairly rudimentary, and may or may not save you, if you are unconscious of coarse. Matinance may have to be done, but that should just go along with the boat. I have no problems with it. I would like to know your opinion, and by all means please do your own testing. Or there are plenty of utube accounts you may look at. Thanks for the video, great advice. I did not know about slipping down the coast a little from Raglan. Thanks again 😊

Why not drive around the problem area, instead of ride over the middle of it?
