WHY SEAMARSHALL?  As experienced ocean racers, we have always been active advocates of sailing safety.

Through our management business, and through doing safety consulting and committee work with USSailing, the CCA, and New York Yacht Club, we discovered the SeaMarshall line of marine rescue beacons and receivers several years ago in Great Britain.  We have studied and tested all of the various man-overboard beacons on the market, and are thoroughly convinced that SeaMarshall offers the best system available anywhere in the world…at any price.

SeaMarshall’s lighted rope beacons (SMRS8-LR) are the ONLY effective automatic, water-activated, beacons on the market...a very important fact to that person who was injured as he went overboard.  Matched with a SeaMarshall locating receiver, and one has the best recovery system available.

Almost all of the yachts C.H. Barber, III Inc. manages are outfitted with SeaMarshall beacons.  In addition, we outfitted ZARAFFA and SNOW LION (first and second to finish) and ZWERVER for the 2003 DCNAC Transatlantic Race, and worked with David Scully in CHEYENNE to update Steve Fossett’s man-overboard kit prior to his record circumnavigation in 2004.  We have provided many other large yachts, including MORNING GLORY, with SeaMarshall gear, too.

SAFETY CONSULTING AND TRAINING. We would be pleased to review your yacht’s general safety and man-overboard requirements.  As a service to any yachtsman, C.H. Barber, III Inc. can provide a complete safety equipment and operational inventory.  This may be followed-up with custom, onboard, training based upon the results of this inventory and the cruising or racing program envisioned by the owner and crew.

And we would also be pleased to answer any questions you may have about SeaMarshall, or any of the other beacons on the market.  Again, after looking at the options, We are certain that you will find, as we do, that SeaMarshall should be an important part of your onboard safety kit.
