FAR Part 91 Sec. 91.509

Thanks. The liferaft must add a lot of weight.

I read a story about a French pilot who flew across the Channel with he and
his passengers actually wearing their lifejackets, but I don't know if this
was a specific requirement for France, or just an extra precaution that he
preferred, or what. It's only 20 miles across the channel so apparently it
wouldn't even be covered by 91.509.
