Subject: Re: Stus-List SOS light flare replacement I had an old 25 MM flare explode in the gun instead of launch. Also note SOLAS flares are on a whole different planet in terms of brightness, reliability, and longevity. The only reason IMHO to ever buy non-SOLAS flares is because y

Re: Stus-List SOS light flare replacement

Controlled testing has proven that flares gradually lose ignition/launch reliability, and burn time as they age. Old flares may not fly as high, burn as bright, or have other deficits. It is not an arbitrary punishment intended to make flare manufacturers wealthy. I'm pretty sure milk has a muc

I just checked this out with a friend who is intimately familiar with uscg regs. (He runs Safe Boating course in CT). This is what he told me. "I have not seen it myself but I would not be surprised if it was acceptable because it is really just an approved SOS night signal. The orange flag acts

Doug, i just bought a couple of handheld strobes from NorthAmericanSurvivalSystems.com . I think they will be very effective insurance for several activities that my wife are involved with including sailing. They weigh 5 oz including two Lithium CR123

Re: Stus-List SOS light flare replacement

It looks great for inland waters. However for out in the ocean I feel that you still need flares for the altitude that they provide. You cant get the light 500 feet in the air. or shoot it at the bridge of an approaching freighter. That being said I can still see it usefulness. Doug Mountjoy svPeg

Hi, Is anyone familiar with the Sirius Signal SOS Distress light? The claim is that it complies with USCG requirements replacing flares, and that it does not expire. I just read about it from an Active Captain post which includes a Defender link for those interested:
