Ocean Sailing

Ocean Racing

The current rules in ocean racing, within races or between venues, considers an array of safety equipment and onboard electronics that control all aspects of the boat

The risk of losing a crew member overboard is very real and while man overboard recovery is an integral part of crew training, instantly knowing where and when the event occurred is essential.

The race is on. Your crew are focussed on getting the best out of the boat, achieving the best time. The wind and sea state are high on the Beaufort Scale and visibility is limited. Your Maxi is travelling at 25 knots or more and you're loving every second. If one of your crew is swept overboard now, it will take some 30 minutes to stop and turn back so logging that MOB position is vital in locating the person in the water.

The Mobilarm solution is an indispensable ocean racing safety aid, providing the on-watch skipper with the place and time the crew member went overboard, allowing the hours of crew training to be put to use at the most critical time.

Mobilarm's fail-safe technology forms an essential part of the overall safety structure on board your yacht and safeguards your crew from going overboard undetected.

Please note: Some vessels in this category are constructed using carbon fibre, which is unsuitable for the MOBi-lert range of man overboard alarm systems. Carbon fibre vessels should install the new generation of Mobilarm man overboard alarm systems, Crewsafe.

Offshore Cruising

With Mobilarm you can avoid the horror of coming up from below and finding that the person you thought was at the helm is nowhere to be seen..

Losing someone overboard is a skipper's worst nightmare, and not knowing it has happened until much later is worse still. For this reason, Mobilarm man overboard alarm systems notify you immediately if someone goes overboard, meaning you need never suffer that feeling of complete helplessness.

It's simple. You all wear a small transmitter - a tag or pendant - which wirelessly connects you to a networked system that constantly monitors your presence on board. If the signal is broken, which happens if the pendant goes underwater or too far from the network, then the system automatically raises the alarm.

Mobilarm's fail-safe technology is always on watch, giving you peace of mind that no-one will go overboard without you knowing, even when you sleep.

Bluewater Fishing

Bluewater fishing brings its own set of risks as large vessels make their way to and from offshore fishing grounds and spend time in waters that are sometimes unfamiliar. There is also likely to be a number of people on board who may be unused to the marine environment or the specifics of the vessel they are in. In addition to these factors, the weather can close in and the seas become rough very quickly and with little warning.

Imagine travelling at a good 12 knots on your way to a favourite fishing hole when someone falls overboard. You will be travelling at roughly 20 feet per second, so by the time you can react, manually activate a man overboard alarm or throw a life ring overboard, you will already be more than 200 feet from the point they fell in. Provided you saw them disappear over the side in the first place.

Even the strongest swimmer will be hampered by clothing, suffering from shock at what has happened and possibly hidden from view in the swell of the sea. With a Mobilarm man overboard alarm system, you don't need to rely on your passengers to keep an eye out on each other, or have eyes in the back of your head, because the system will notify you the moment someone goes overboard. With the location automatically logged on your plotter, you also know exactly where to head back to.

Mobilarm's fail-safe technology allows everyone to enjoy the trip without fear of going overboard unnoticed.
