Award-winning lifejacket with more freeboard

With more buoyancy, a smaller pack size and a special lifebelt, the Hi-Lift 150N from TeamO has already won over the DAME jury. The lifejacket apparently works with additional buoyancy at the back, which lifts the upper body out of the water better and is intended to ensure a stable swimming position with more freeboard. According to the jury, which includes German designer Klaus Roeder, this increase in performance means that the 150 Newton lifejacket even promises to surpass the ISO standard for a lifejacket with 275 Newtons of buoyancy. According to the experts, the redistribution of the volume of the buoyancy bladder makes the lifejacket slimmer overall, which increases user acceptance and makes the waistcoat easier to put on. The waistcoat is also equipped with TeamO's Backtow system, a recovery aid that also allows the MOB to be towed in the supine position.

The Hi-Lift from TeamO will be exhibited at the Sailtec GmbH stand in Hall 10 Stand H56.

New oilskin series from Musto

The new BR3 Offshore from Musto is designed to combine the advantages of the MPX Offshore and BR2 Offshore and offer high-performance functional clothing at a fair price. A cut that offers plenty of freedom of movement, lightweight Pertex fabric, YKK Aquaguard zips, a high collar and comfortable fleece patches on the chin are designed to protect skippers from the elements in coastal waters and on the high seas. The BR3 offshore trousers are designed to offer high breathability thanks to a Pertex Shield membrane and ensure an optimum fit with adjustable straps and waist. The jacket is available in the colours black, blue and red from S to XXL for 579 euros. The trousers are also available in black and red from S to XXL for 429 euros. Both garments are also available in a cut for women. However, the trousers are only available in black and the jacket in black and blue.

Musto's new functional clothing will be on display at the Peter Frisch GmbH stand in Hall 10 Stand H21.

Compact wastewater treatment plant for on board

Enteron 50 is a fully biological mini sewage treatment plant for use on board. It can process faeces and toilet paper and is connected directly to the toilets. The system works fully automatically and without chemicals. As on land, the wastewater is treated in several stages using a bacterial strain in a bioreactor. The water is then disinfected using UV light. The system can treat 50 litres of black water per day. Price: from 10,000 euros.

The Enteron 50 will be exhibited at the Tom Logisch GmbH stand in Hall 10 Stand F31.

Safety for four-legged friends

Secumar has added life jackets for dogs to its range with the Secudogs line. They are fastened with a 4-point harness system and plenty of material on the belly to distribute the pressure well when lifting. The handle is usually the most important part of being able to rescue your four-legged friend. There are even two of them. Available in five sizes from 79.90 euros to 119.90 euros.

The Secudogs dog rescue waistcoat will be on display at the Secumar stand in Hall 10 H42.

50th anniversary collection at Gill.

Gill is presenting the new OS2 collection to mark its milestone birthday. With the anniversary logo, the new garments are available for men in black, navy, red and gold fusion and for women in black, navy, red and blue eggshell.

In addition to the new functional clothing, Gill also has new boat shoes in its programme with the Verso Race Trainer. The particularly lightweight and well-ventilated deck shoes are designed to offer good grip on board and come with drainage channels in the sole to allow water to run off quickly. The sporty shoes are available in black and grey in sizes 37 to 47. However, only one model in one size can be viewed at the trade fair so far. The Verso Race Trainers are still so new that stock will only be replenished in the coming weeks.

The Gill stand is located in Hall 10 Stand C55.

Lifejacket made from recycled material

Baltic has two new lifejackets in its range, the Hera and Epiq models. The Hera model is a solid buoyancy aid with 50 Newton buoyancy specially adapted to the anatomy of women. This ensures a comfortable fit. The waistcoat is fastened with a zip and strap and can be adjusted in size at the shoulders. It also has two pockets, one inside and one outside. Price: 100 euros.

The Epiq model is an automatic waistcoat with 165 Newton buoyancy. Recycled fibres are used in its manufacture. The price: 150 euros. Both waistcoats are available in four different colours. German distribution by Element 2.

The Baltic stand is located in Hall 11 Stand B21.

Emergency transmitter with new Class M standard

Ocean Signal manufactures two new MOB transmitters for integration into the lifejacket. The Rescue- Me MOB2 alerts via AIS and DSC distress call and has been expanded to include a new function: as soon as a confirmation of receipt of the distress call is received, it is no longer transmitted. The transmitter therefore fulfils the new Class M regulations that came into force in some EU countries at the end of 2024. Price: 459 euros.

Ocean Signal can be found at the Nordwest-Funk stand in Hall 10 Stand D18.

Life raft always ready for use

The Liferaft Cradle from Ocean Safety is a new mount for life rafts. The cradle is made of stainless steel tubing and can be installed on horizontal surfaces or on sloping or vertical surfaces such as the stern. The container with the liferaft lies in the holder and is secured with webbing. Price: 250 euros.

Ocean Safety can be found on the SOStechnic stand in Hall 11 Stand B41.
