Make the switch to 406

Don't get caught out!

"Out on the cricket pitch good skippers take the lead. And on my boat I'm the skipper, so it's my responsibility to ensure that we're carrying the right safety gear.

So don't leave it to the last minute, make sure you upgrade to a 406 MHz distress beacon this year.

That's because from 1 February 2009, satellites no longer process distress alerts from 121.5 MHz distress beacons. From this date, only 406 MHz distress beacons are detected.
