    I've noticed one thing that all life rafts seem to be missing (& almost all lifeboats--with only the largest with the greatest endurance having it)--heads. Bathrooms or toilets to those not familiar with the term. You talk about sea sickness--what about "accidents".

    If they would put or build the new, pretty cheap and plastic, pliable solar panels in to the roof you could charge up depleted batteries. Also they should have either an EPIRB ( Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon ) or a satellite phone or both and the solar panels could charge those up. And if you really want to be seen on RADAR you could have a small Helium tank to charge up a balloon to carry that metallic coated cardboard or plastic RADAR reflector up on a useful very lite cord or may be a fishing line to 50 or 100 feet. Then it could be “targeted “ for even over the horizon. But if they just put the solar panels on the roof and have a EPIRB or a SAT Phone you could call for help and give to them your location using GPS from the phone or a app device for it. You can get cheap EPIRBs for any where from $200 to $800 I think and they send an automated signal to satellites always looking for them. And the solar panel could be had for $100 to $200 or may be cheaper. So it would not make the life raft too much more expensive. Just some ideas I get while my mind wanders in boring classes at school.

    I never really measured at what point I got seasick. There are a lot of ways a boat can move i.e. slow long rolling, fast rolling, pitching etc. so its hard to define. Also, a big ship will not move the same way a small yacht does in the same weather conditions. Small yachts feel every ripple, a massive ship will only start to roll once the weather gets a bit more 'interesting'. Quoits - I also read this, but I have no idea if its related (although I guess so).

    I got seasick while going snorkling on an amateur trip. Being in the water is just fine. The waves were on a level that was taxing for swimming long periods, but in no way problematic or dangerous to a moderately experienced swimmer. On the small boat, it was horror. The guide even told us to go into the water quickly to avoid getting seasick. So for small vessels, I think even what would be considered a very calm ocean would make at least one person sick on such a small raft. And if one person pukes, more will follow. Learned that the hard way when drinking. :D

    The fishing equipment is added as more of a morale thing anyways, the idea being that keeping busy with something like fishing will make you able to hold on longer. I don’t think bait is required but it maybe included depending on the manufacturer. And also it would be pretty easy to improvise some kind of bait for things like Mackerel with something like a piece of shiny plastic or foil from the rations or something

    There are artificial lures, which do not require any bait. They typically either look like a plastic fish or a bent, shiny metal plate, which swirls around when pulled through the water. I would guess they put something similar on the raft, most likely the second version, given it's small and light.

Do they have them and it wasn’t mentioned?

    GPS is a one way thing. The satellites emit a signal a GPS reciever catches on and can work out its current location. You cant transmit that location back to the satellites. To do that, you would need a modem that connects to a communication satellite. A satellite telephone for example. Those are rather expensive and dont work always flawlessly, also require a lot of juice. It could be done, maybe bigger lifeboats have something like this, but at current costs its nothing you would find on smaller rafts. But if a big ship sinks that process normally takes hours and there should be enough time to transmit an SOS along with the position so people know the approximate position to look for.

    The thing is, that RADAR reflector already serves that purpose and better than a balloon would, due to it being a retroreflector. Thus, it will reflect RADAR directly back to the source, making you more visible. The balloon on the other hand is a convex surface and may scatter the RADAR any which way. Plus the aforementioned bit about the RADAR reflector not requiring helium to use.

    Desalination is inefficient at the best of times. Marine desalination plants are large, fuel-hungry apparatuses that aren't suitable for lifeboat use. Some life rafts do carry small solar stills so you can produce a bit of freshwater, but it's not going to be nearly enough by itself, so other methods (stored water and raincatchers) will be needed.

    Survival equipment is always a balance between utility, weight, space, and cost. A water-maker would have great utility, but it is big, expensive, and heavy. That means given a certain amount of weight or space capacity, you would have to give up potentially a lot of other gear. Or, just as important, given a certain amount of money to spend on survival supplies (that will probably never be used), fewer people will purchase one.
