PLBs

PLBs - for your personal safety

The Fast Find range of Personal Location Beacons has many of the benefits of the 406MHz EPIRB.

They operate on the 406Mhz global satellite rescue system ensuring that your emergency signal can be sent from anywhere in the world. They also transmit a 121.5MHz homing signal and some models benefit from a dedicated built in GPS which sends a highly accurate location position typically +/- 50metres within a few minutes of switching the unit on. This enables the rescue authorities to greatly reduce their search time. PLBs are registered to an individual rather than a vessel; this is of particular benefit if you are moving from boat to boat. Fast Find is compact, and a range of accessories ensure that you can safely move around without fear of losing the unit.

The Fast Find is of particular benefit if you are moving from boat to boat or having to work on deck in adverse weather conditions. It is compact and accessories ensure that you can safely move around without fear of losing the unit.
