Hi Guys

Bit of a daft question, but what is the best way of getting rid of out of date flares, the flare pack i have is out of date at the end of June and I havnt got a clue what to do with them.

Thanks

not great advice to be honest

The best thing to do is contact a local chandlery/boat supplies shop and ask them can the dispose of them for you.
viking marine is in kilcoole they might be close enough to you, or you could also try yacht agencies down at the murrough

Keep them and save yourself the cost of new ones as they will still work

Im pretty sure you can organize with your local coast guard unit to take them and they will destroy them. I could be wrong but I'm nearly 100% that this can be done.
