Pantaenius has been arranging insurance cover since 1899 and has grown into a world class enterprise. Its specialisation in the area of yacht insurance ensued after the division of the company into the independent Pantaenius GmbH & Co. KG, an expert broker of yacht insurance, and Pantaenius Versicherungsmakler GmbH, which provides cover in the traditional areas of personal and corporate insurance. Mobilarm Limited, the company behind the innovative V100 locator beacon, has announced a leap forward in the development of its proprietary marine safety technology, resulting in a new application of its VHF locator beacon technology for commercial, sports and professional divers around the world.
The leading global marine safety technology specialist will release a small, lightweight locator beacon for divers, based on the cutting-edge defence submarine escape and abandonment emergency locator beacon, the Mobilarm V200, which was designed under contract with the US Navy for submariner emergency escape use. The new dive locator beacon is up to 50 percent smaller and lighter in comparison to the existing submariner beacon, making it perfectly suited for professional and recreational divers. The new dive locator beacon, which Mobilarm expects to ship mid-2011, enables above-water GPS location and automatic distress alerting over VHF radio should divers find themselves stranded from their boat. The lightweight, new and improved Regatta Master Watch II from Gill is designed specifically for competitive sailors. Water resistant to 50 metres, features include a stopwatch, countdown timer, compass, calendar and alarm, all displayed on a large digital screen.
Serious racers will enjoy the countdown feature that gives a sound signal every minute, and in the last minute prior to the race start, the seconds count down in a large full screen display for ease of viewing. The synchronisation feature allows sailors to readjust their timings to the closest minute at any time in the sequence. The large buttons on the sides of the watch help avoid any accidental ‘miss-press’ in the vital pre-start.
