At our annual Bluewater Sailing Weekend Alistair Hackett from marine safety experts Ocean Safety was invited to give a demonstration of the JonBuoy Recovery Module - one of their most popular lifesaving innovations. The Jonbuoy is designed to simplify the process of saving a crew member that has fallen overboard. It increases their visibility and buoyancy, helping to keep the casualty safe while rescue takes place. Watch the video to see a full demonstration of the Jonbuoy in action.
