1(c). Safety Afloat, and how it applies to sailing
Required
Discussed here in outline. Requirement 4(a) comes back to it point by point, so this is the shallower of the two passes.
Notes and warnings
Note. Safety Afloat comes up twice on this badge: here in outline, and again at requirement 4(a) point by point. Doing this one properly makes the second pass shorter.
