Statement: Falling overboard has many serious issues to contend with such as ‘Cold Shock’, ‘Hypothermia’, unconsciousness in the water, and going out of sight of the vessel. The R.Y.A (Royal Yachting Association) and R.N.L.I (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) recommend a set sequence of actions to get the crew member back on board. What happens when the weather is severe, the ‘Man Overboard’ can’t be seen in the water and the boat has a small number of crew on board?
This project answers all these problems by making the ‘Man Overboard’ highly visible and maintaining constant contact with the boat even when out of sight.
