R10 Man Overboard Solution

This week we examined the R10 Survivor Rescue System from Kannad.   To me, it looks like the best piece of kit if you want to be recovered having fallen overboard at sea.   

In an emergency, the R10 turns you into a AIS station that ships, yachts, rescue authorities can all use to locate you and bring you to safety.

Stay tuned for our tests where we build up some recommended procedures for boat owners for recovery of a lost crewmember using your on board AIS.
