All of what you said plus how do windows get plugged in, unless they are rubber insert, by a 2 meter wave? I'd say the boat wasn't up to snuff either. This is just an example of why I cringe when I see the rubber insert windows
Have to agree. I don't know what sort of awards, commendations, medals etc. the Cost Guard has, but these guys deserve something.
TOTALLY why in the first place ere they out in that stuff and that late at night ... total lack of respect for the condtions, you have to ask yourself is it worth it!!! really dumb mistake
Yes, these have the capacity to lift, but the lifting point is low, around the belly button, it is a difficult angle to lift unresponsive 'dead' weight.
I've been kicking around getting these for a while.

Both a light and AIS transmitter. AIS receivers aren't very common on recreational boats, but any commercial or coastguard vessels will get the signal. They get folded inside an inflatable PFD and transmit automatically when the PFD inflates.
This is a great deal on them, as it comes with a class B+ transceiver.

I had been thinking about buying some type of PLB for our life jackets /flotation suits.
This latest rescue has managed to motivate me.
In the Long Distance Motorcycle community when something new came up that a bunch of us wanted, we would often organize a group buy and usually get a reasonable/substantial discount off retail.
If something like this appeals to the group perhaps a few of us could manage a group buy.
Now doing the group buy requires complete financial transparency so that there are never any questions later. (i.e the organizers pay the same price as everyone else and there are no special deals)
Of course the nice folks who run this forum will need to give their ok.
I have seen these types of group buys where folks need to be Forum members (i.e. crew members) to be part of the deal.
Someone could still buy stuff for their pals (under the table as they say) but this is a small community and from my time here people seem to hold each other to a pretty high standard. Retailers generally don't have an issue with these things if their work is minimized and they can sell a reasonable amount of product with little work.
If the Forum staff want to take this on, all the better.
If this has the approval of the Mods perhaps we could do a poll to see who might want to participate. I expect that the more units sold the larger the discount.
Here is the model Flashman posted up

Likely because they were just trying to get home from work... Im sure they have done it without incident countless times. As someone who has spent many years living and working on the water, I have to admit I have pushed things a little when the urge to get home kicks in.
I'm interested. Are these the same units? I'm wondering why this one is $140 cheaper than the majority of other prices I'm seeing out there:

Do you think coast guard can pick them up from long distance?
I don't know. I would assume their relay network would pick up DSC distress calls if the transmitter was within range and notify their radio operators, but I'm speculating.
