Offshore racing crews are obliged to use professional AIS rescue devices for Category 2 races

Weatherdock wants to put sailors? attention to a rule of the World Sailing Offshore Special Regulations.

The Weatherdock AIS MOB beacon easyONE-DSC symbols the choice for participants of RORC races. The AIS MOB unit comes up with the best performance figures in the market e.g. transmission power, battery lifetime and combined technologies such as AIS, DSC and a bright red electronic LED flare for better visibility.

The easyONE-DSC was specially designed for the usage with nearly every automatic life jacket to suit racing conditions without hampering movement.

There is just an insert between the folded blatter of the jacket and a knot with the security rope at a hook ? that?s it.

Once the GPS fix is done, the next DSC alert with current Position is send. Parallel an AIS emergency telegram is send to every AIS receiver within vicinity of up to 7 nautical miles and will be updated every minute with current position.
