Mustang Survival Launches New Ocean Commander

Mustang Immersion Suit

Mustang Survival is pleased to launch an improved Ocean Commander immersion suit to the Canadian marketplace; the first immersion suit to receive Transport Canada, MED, and SOLAS approvals.  After research and tests, this launch also marks the return of the long-trusted Ocean Commander® immersion suit for sailors, offshore boaters, fisherman and other commercial marine workers alike.
 
The new Ocean Commander (Model #OC8003 HR) is constructed of a high visibility fluorescent yellow-green shell material, building off the findings of a recent study led by Mustang Survival’s research department. The study, titled On-Water Visibility, found fluorescent yellow-green to be up to four times more detectable in rescue conditions than other common immersion suit colours.
 
“When we retired the previous Ocean Commander (Model #OC8001) a couple of years ago customers kept asking us to bring it back. It was always our intention to redesign and re-launch this suit and, in our customers’ eyes, it couldn’t come soon enough,” comments Brian Milligen, Director of Sales at Mustang Survival.
 
In addition to its new colour, the Ocean Commander is feature-laden to provide the highest level of protection. Donning is made easy with a full-length zipper, neoprene wrist seals and removable neoprene mitts. The Ocean Commander is also lighter and more durable than conventional neoprene suits, and provides unhindered mobility for both work activities and strenuous abandonment procedures.
 
“The quality and performance of the new Ocean Commander in combination with the harness/buddy line, updated wrist cuffs and the only TC/SOLAS approved high-vis fluorescent material available in Canada, make this immersion suit the top choice for mariners and commercial marine workers who want to be seen and survive an abandon ship emergency should they find themselves in this undesirable position in our frigid northern waters.”
 
Mustang Survival’s Ocean Commander Immersion Suit series has long been the trusted choice of sailors, offshore boaters, fishermen and other commercial marine workers.

Lost in a Nova Scotia Fog

You have all run in a fog at some time or other in your yachting careers! It is a safe bet that none of you like to do it – in spite of the satisfaction that comes when you pick up your buoy, or begin just where it should be, after you have run your distance down – and most of you agree with the men who follow the sea for a living rather than for pleasure that they would sooner face gale of wind than a fog of any duration. When you get them both together, however, you are indeed in hard straights, especially when the land is close aboard.

Pursuit S268 Sport CC

By Andy Adams

The Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console is a do-it-all kind of boat with a solid sense of style. Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.

Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
