First and foremost - make sure you have done the "Dunker" then just wear a LJ with a good PLB fitted and ideally one with AIS fitted so that both ship and SAR will easily find you.

Don't worry about how many engines you have, ENSURE you've done the dunker, and ensure you have a plan and know your drills.... Simples!

The cab will never knows its over water, only you, so if its going to fail it will fail - at least with one you know exactly whats coming next...

Oh and make sure you have done your homework on sea temperature and survival times..... wear a "goon suit" no matter what time of year! - Sounds obvious but you'd be amazed.....
