Exposure’s X2 searchlight endorsed by the Norwegian Sea Rescue Association

Exposure X2 Flashlight

The Norwegian Sea Rescue Association (NSRA), Redningsselskapet, has recommended the British made Exposure Marine X2 search light for the professional and recreational marine market, by adding it to their existing range of recommended safety equipment.

The NSRA, Norway’s equivalent to the British based RNLI, a voluntary, membership-based organisation that aims to save lives and protect the environment, runs a fleet of high speed rescue craft based at 57 stations along the Norwegian coast. The X2 is to be used and tested throughout the fleet.   Operating in near arctic conditions, man overboard (MOB) and rescue situations become ever more life threatening due to the cold.   The NSRA chose the X2 due to its MOB related features, including a brilliant 700 lumens searchlight, as well as its high-powered SOS and Strobe facility easily visible from over 3 nautical miles.  Encased in a lightweight, buoyant and compact aluminum torch housing, the X2 is also an ideal personal safety aid, which can illuminate a significant area when held underwater or shone on a sail.   

Following their initial testing, the NSRA have decided that the X2 is the most efficient and versatile marine safety torch available, and are particularly focused on increasing safety for all boat users.  The multiple strength red beam options, which protect your night vision, are also seen as a unique advantage and are fundamental to the NSRA choosing the Exposure X2.

Exposure X2 Flashlight
As a result of the NRSA recommending this powerful little flashlight to all boat owners, the Royal Norwegian Yacht Club (KNS) has specified that 700 lumens strength lights are now mandatory safety equipment for the prestigious Færder Race 2013 (Færderseilasen).  The race is the world’s largest overnight regatta, with more than 1100 boats taking part racing from Oslo, south to the Færder lighthouse and back to Horten.  This spectacular race has grown immensely, both in popularity and participation, since its inception in 1947.

The NSRA will be recommending and retailing the co-branded X2 flashlight throughout Norway via their website www.redningsselskapet.no/profflykt

In the last few months Bruce Kirby, the Canadian designer of the Laser sailboat, the world’s most successful racing dinghy ever, and the one-design boat that powers arguably the largest and most significant class in racing, has revealed that for some time, he has not been paid the royalties owed to him by the builders who had contracts to build Kirby’s design. Yet, the authorities in the Laser class association with the apparent cooperation of ISAF, the International Sailing Federation have continued to issue official plaques to these unauthorized Laser boats. The series of events would seem to undermine the whole concept of one-design sailing and racing. Here’s Bruce Kirby’s own explanation of the current events – Andy Adams Editor

In an attempt to rescue the Laser Class from its downhill course of the past few years I have reluctantly decided that a name change, or re-branding is necessary.  During the past three or four years dealers have had difficulty getting timely delivery of boats, and in particular, of parts.  We have had calls

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.
