Equipment

Safety on board

- Grease fires on yachts often occur whilst cooking in the galley and are particularly life-threatening due to the confined space, heat, smoke and flammable materials.
- The biggest mistake in an emergency is to pour water onto burning fat; instead, switch off the heat source, smother the fire with a lid and cut off the oxygen supply.
- Prevention requires discipline: never leave cooking unattended, keep flammable materials away, brief the crew, keep fire-extinguishing equipment to hand and adopt a holistic approach to fire safety.

Risk of explosion: Never add water to oil!

- Morphéis is a GPS anchor buoy from Mooring Solution that measures the position directly at the anchor, thereby reducing false alarms caused by the boat’s swaying.  
- The buoy is secured by a Dyneema line with a spring mechanism, transmits a signal up to 100 metres to the receiver, runs on solar power for up to 72 hours and triggers an alarm if it drifts more than 4 metres.  
- The system costs €1,499 and is aimed at frequent anchorage users, whilst traditional anchoring apps such as Ankeralarm or Anchor Pro are significantly cheaper alternatives.

- The CO₂-powered Leak Stop Gun S seals hull openings in seconds using an EPDM balloon, replacing conventional leak plugs.  
- The standard LSG 150 balloon seals leaks measuring 50–130 mm; with the Flextube and LSG 400, openings of 120–350 mm can be sealed.  
- Housing (0.7 kg) made of stainless steel, aluminium or brass; suitable for use at depths of up to 20 m, temperatures from -15 to 95/100 °C; the device is reusable, whilst the balloons must be replaced after use.

- Kanguro is the first lifejacket developed by Veleria San Giorgio that secures parents and newborns together.
- The waistcoat is designed to keep parents and child stable in the water and significantly reduce the risk of separation in rough seas.
- Kanguro won the Compasso d'Oro ADI 2026, is on display at the ADI Design Museum in Milan and is due to go into production next year.

- LETECH Marine is launching three new products for boats: headlight bracket S1, SF2 and radar mast R2 made of corrosion-resistant marine aluminium.  
- S1 and SF2 offer 4 and 6 LED spotlights with 22,840 and 34,260 lumens respectively, optionally electropolished or powder-coated, S1 incl. PCU with 3 light modes.  
- Radar mast R2 enables the mounting of radar and antennas, has a flat design for a sporty look and, like all components, is made in Germany in accordance with ISO 9001:2015.

- UV radiation is greatly increased on the water, leading to unnoticed skin ageing, skin cancer and eye damage, even in windy and cloudy conditions.
- Effective protection requires dense UV protective clothing (UPF), sun cream with a sufficiently high SPF and strategic coverage of unprotected areas of skin.
- Sunglasses with 100% UV protection and at least category 3 glare protection are essential, especially for children; sunburn requires consistent first aid.

- Jährlich werden bei SVB in Bremen rund 5.500 Rettungswesten gewartet, wobei Fachwissen und handwerkliches Können entscheidend sind.
- Die Wartung umfasst detaillierte Prüfungen und den Austausch von Teilen, um im Ernstfall die Funktionalität sicherzustellen.
- In Deutschland gibt es keine Pflicht zur Wartung von Rettungswesten auf Sportbooten, was zu einem geringen Rücklauf führt.

- Up-to-date paper charts are required by law on pleasure craft flying the German flag; offences can be punished with fines.  
- Charts can be updated inexpensively by yourself using correction sets; takes about 1-3 hours, costs about 20-40 euros per chart set.  
- Manual updates promote knowledge of the area, but reach their limits in the event of fundamental changes; in this case, it is necessary to purchase new charts or chips.
