    I've done quite a few ocean crossings on a sailboat and we have one of these mounted below deck by the hatch/entrance, ready to grab and go if things go to shit. We also have an EPIRB (emergency position-indicating radio beacon) with GPS mounted by the helm with a hydrostatic release, so -- if we are not able -- it (hopefully) can release and activate automatically if it becomes submerged. This is also the case for the life rafts.
    As Casual Navigation and several others have mentioned in this thread though, you should never rely on only one piece of safety equipment, so remember to check your flares, immersion suit, light beacons, flashlights, fire extinguishers/blankets, handheld VHF, satphone, InReach, etc., keep everything up to date and know where it is stored/placed on the ship. You never know when chaos strikes, and it can/will be when you least expect it. We got hit broadside and knocked down by a sudden huge wave in pitch darkness on a otherwise smooth moonless night, and we were very lucky that we didn't lose the mast, sails or get a man overboard situation (knock on wood).
    One thing that really becomes clear when you are out at sea, is how unfathomably huge it is. You can go many days even in high traffic lanes over the Atlantic during prime season and not see any other ship. You can truly be very, very alone, and Mr. Davy Jones is the last guy you want to visit. ;)
    Lastly, huge kudos to Casual for these videoes. This channel has some of the best maritime content on YT. Thanks!

    It’s nice to learn safety stuff for situations you’ll probably never be in. It’s no substitute for training but you never know what might stick and come in handy.

  • @gglovato
    @gglovato 5 лет назад +5

    Why don't they make satellite transponders?, 40nm is not much for a vast ocean. But if your doodad has a GPS receiver and a sat transmission it can instantly broadcast your location to the rescuers. Plus sat coverage in open sea is no problem. You could even combine both systems for close/long range

    • @adamdapatsfan
      @adamdapatsfan 5 лет назад +1

      There are satellite-connected devices for emergency situations - I'm more of a satellite guy than a maritime guy, but try looking up GMDSS. The main downside of satellite connectivity is cost: even simple GPS transponders can be a few hundred dollars, though in some cases they're required by law.
      Another interesting benefit of satellite systems is satellite imaging: there are now enough imaging satellites to get pictures of the entire surface of the Earth every 24 hours or less, with at least 2-meter resolution. Radar satellites, while less common, can see through clouds and in darkness. Since these satellite operators generally provide information for free in emergencies, they could also be of use in a search and rescue scenario.

    Is it better than radar retroreflector? I guess, the indication to the passanger on lineraft that there is radar nearby, and they should fire a flare, is a good one. But I am not sure it is better than retroreflector. Is it to make the crew on board the random vessels, to recognize it is a raft requesting rescue, so it is distinctly different than other vessels? Or maybe it helps also in case of being close to land? Or something?

    • @HugeRademaker
      @HugeRademaker 5 лет назад +1

      movax20h A radar reflector is a passive "thing" and - if at all detected by a radar - shown on the screen by a single dot.
      A sart becomes an active device once it is receiving radar radio waves. It then actively transmits signals thus showing the multiple dots on the radar screen.

    Dammit, those marine types really have nice toys. Us aviation guys do not have something like a SART, we have to do with normal ELTs or PLBs, Emergency Locator Transmitters or Personal Locator Beacons, transmitting on 121.5 MHz (including two way AM communication in some installations) and 406 MHz for CORPAS-SARSAT reception. No radar active beacons though, those are only used in normal operation (Mode-S secondary radar transmission). The 121.5 ELT signals are picked up quite often to be honest, we usually keep listening watch on that frequency.

But remember how we tested sart back at the merchant marine school in Sweden when I was there 25 yrs ago

      Michael McCurley Emergengency Position Indicating Radio Beacons actively send signals to satellites. They are either activated manually or by contact with sea water. They must be mounted to the ship by a hydrostatic release unit, so if the ship goes down they will float freely to the surface.
      Their radio messages contain not only its geographical position but also the ship's unique (!) mmsi-number. Therefor an epirb cannot be used on another ship unless its settings have been altered.

      Except for the mmsi #, I already knew about the rest of it. What I'm scratching my head about is the effective range of the SART equipment, which apparently transmits a radar signal for local radar receivers on other vessels in the area, as opposed to the EPIRB, and Garmin's InReach series of GPS transceivers, which transmit a world wide mayday call via satellite.
      If I was involved in a maritime disaster, I think I would want the most far reaching "cry for help" equipment I could get my hands on.
