Meet the Jon Buoy EVAC: How the 'Evacuation Platform' bridges gap between lifejacket and liftraft

Designed for leisure boaters under sail or power, Ocean Safety's Jon Buoy EVAC has been developed to bridge the gap between a liferaft and traditional man overboard devices. Lightweight, portable and simple to deploy, it provides vital peace of mind without the bulk of a conventional raft. We spoke to Oceean Safety's Alistair Hackett to find out more about EVAC. Key features include automatic inflation, an inflatable arch and canopy, a boarding ladder and grab handles for accessibility, and a weighted keel for stability. Supplied in a semi-rigid valise with a three-year service interval, the EVAC combines ease of stowage with dependable protection in an emergency. #yacht #rib #safety
