E: 20/1?? wireless MoB system

http://www.themainsail.com/Comp/Comp.asp?c=6


reg/log in
guessed end date


We know that you are passionate about your boating and, because you are one of the people in the know, we’d like to give you the chance to share your expertise and knowledge on some marine electronics related subjects.


It’ll only take 5 minutes to fill this in and when you’ve finished it your name will be ‘dropped into the hat’ for a chance to win Raymarine’s new LIFETAG – wireless MoB system worth over £400 RRP.
LifeTag provides an alert when a member of crew who is wearing their personal tag falls overboard or, in case of accidents onboard, an alarm is raised by pressing and holding a button on the personal tag. A loud siren sounds the alert and because LifeTag integrates with Raymarine’s multifunction displays, chartplotters and instrument systems via SeaTalk, an MOB waypoint will also be marked. Personal tags can be fixed to lifejackets, wrists, swimwear, pet’s collar or the belt clip provided.
LifeTag system includes; a base station, 2 personal tags (additional tags can be purchased individually and the system will support up to 16 tags for larger crews) and the alarm sounder. Extra contacts for another external alarm/engine kill or other system activation are also included. Tags power on and off automatically so your LifeTag will always be ready when you need it.

Navigation aids are constantly evolving. We are interested in your views and what you use to plan your passage and avoid collision.
AIS (Automatic Identification System – or, as we refer to it, ‘Missing you already!’):


ais_reciever.jpg
Raymarine have just launched the AIS250 receiver module. It might look like a dull grey box but how handy would it be for you to receive the latest information on vessels in your area and have it clearly displayed on your Raymarine multifunction display?
AIS operates in the VHF maritime band and provides navigation status between vessels and shore-side traffic monitoring centres. Commercial ships, and other boats equipped with AIS transmitters broadcast messages that show the vessel’s name, position, course, speed, and navigation status. Cleverly, AIS250 can be easily fitted using your existing VHF antenna.

Polar Diagrams (Sail boats only):


Polar.jpg
Polar diagrams are used to work out how fast a boat can sail at a given true wind speed for any true wind angle. Polars can also be used to determine the best point of sail not only up and down wind, but in any direction.
Do you frequently use polar diagrams now to help with your navigation plans?
