General Meeting - Peter Hopkins What you need to know about electronic flares
Peter Hopkins, from MAST, will be describing the changes in the legislation concerning Electronic Visual Distress Signals or EVDS. These are now acceptable as an alternative to the four handheld flares required in sheltered and open waters. If you opt to carry an EVDS, you will also need to carry on board a GPS-enabled EPIRB and VHF radio. The EVDS is not efficient in daylight so the EPIRB and VHF will aid in distress. Peter has been involved in writing the standard for these so he is very well informed.
