The Kannad Marine Blog

The Safelink R10 although only having been released for sale recently has already generated a lot of interest and positive reviews from sailing magazines and people in the maritime industry. We have really been excited by comments professionals and journalists have been making. Perhaps this is to be expected as it really is an innovative safety product. Designed to be fitted to a life jacket, once activated the Safelink R10 will transmit an alert on an AIS-enabled chart plotter.

Kannad Marine exclusively showcased the R10 SRS in action to members of the press and key industry figures during a special demonstration day held in the Solent. Here’s what happened...

On a sunny-showery day with calm waters, a small group set afloat to watch the first ever live demonstration of the R10 SRS, Kannad Marine’s brand new survivor location beacon with AIS technology.

As the dry-suit clad volunteer plunged off the side of the fishing vessel into the waters of the Solent, the audience held their breath momentarily as he resurfaced and his lifejacket inflated on cue.
