person overboard

While discussing all things boaty and in particular our safety equipment we came across these guys.

Check it out. If you fall overboard the most likely boat that is going to rescue is the one you fell off- provided they know you fell off. The V100 unit is water activated and sends an alarm directly via VHS radio, to any radios within range, but the closest being your own it will wake anyone on board and at the same time put a waypoint into the boats GPS. Even more brilliant is that it is a Fremantle company.
