FAQ

What does the FitzWright collection at Steveston Marine include?
FitzWright supplies personal flotation devices, buoyancy aids, inflatable PFDs, day shapes, lifebuoy lights, fire axes, and fire buckets for boat safety.
What is the difference between a buoyancy aid and a life jacket?
A buoyancy aid, like FitzWright's Rogue Vest, offers less flotation and is intended for conscious wearers in active use, while a life jacket like the FitzWright Keyhole is designed to turn an unconscious person face-up.
What are FitzWright day shapes used for?
Day shapes such as the black ball, cone, diamond, and cylinder are visual signals hoisted on a vessel to indicate its status, such as anchoring or restricted maneuverability, under navigation rules.
How does an automatic inflatable PFD work?
An automatic inflatable PFD, like the FitzWright FW-AM24-B, inflates on contact with water using a water-sensitive cartridge, without requiring the wearer to pull a cord.
Does FitzWright offer PFDs in different sizes?
Yes, FitzWright mesh vests and buoyancy aids are available across a range of sizes from small to 3XL to fit different body types.
