JON BUOY MK5 Recovery Module

The JON BUOY Recovery Module is a sophisticated man-overboard rescue system that combines a marker buoy, rescue sling and recovery device.

The lightweight container (optionally in white or black carbon look) is attached with the integrated railing bracket. In an emergency, the marker buoy is shot into the water by opening the container, where it inflates automatically.

The recovery system lies safely in the water thanks to the large capsize bag and keel weight. The tall mast with signal flag and automatic lighting is visible from afar. Glo Lite also uses an innovative retroreflective technology that significantly improves the visibility of the high-vis fabric as soon as it is illuminated.

The person who has fallen overboard gets out of the water via the boarding aid onto the safe buoyancy platform. This has a load-bearing capacity of around 200 kg and ensures that the person who has fallen overboard cools down less quickly in cold water temperatures. When helpers approach, an initial connection can be made with the five-metre throw line. The lifting mechanism on the mast is easy for rescuers to reach from on board. The injured person is lifted out of the water together with the buoyancy platform.

After use, the rescue module is ready for use again after rinsing with fresh water, replacing the CO₂ cartridge and stowing it in the container again.

Dimensions of the container: 40 cm x 39 cm x 25 cm.

Additional safety equipment such as emergency transmitters (MOB or PLB), an emergency light, hand flares or a signal horn can also be stored in the container.

The rescue module complies with the OSR (Offshore Special Regulations) of the ISAF for participation in ocean racing.

With the Remote Control System, the release can be remotely controlled from the helm.
