Rescue
The SOS Dan Buoy is patented, man overboard
equipment, ready for instant deployment. The ultra fast and reliable
self-righting properties ensure that just when time matters most, the SOS Dan
Buoy is always ready. It increases vital visibility and buoyancy for the person
overboard. The SOS Dan Buoy system is compact, easy to use and very visible. It
all folds away in an easily stowed carry bag.
SOS Dan Buoy is a compact, self-contained
device, specifically designed to make rescue and recovery a simpler operation.
There is no need to set or activate the SOS Dan Buoy - just throw it into the
water, towards the person overboard. Throw the SOS Dan Buoy into the water and
within seconds of immersion, it inflates, and stands 2.0 metres above the
waterline, highly visible up to 1,700 metres. [Figures 1 & 2]
SOS Dan buoy has webbing loops, allowing the
person to put their arms around the marker to help support them when fatigued.
This gives extra support and security while awaiting rescue. [Figure 3]
SOS Dan Buoy is a portable rescue device,
that is easy to handle in all geographic locations. This compact safety device
employs the same mechanism as an inflatable lifejacket; it can be reused by
replacing just one cylinder and activation cartridge.
