Yacht racing PLB hire
If multiple PLBs are needed on one boat, having
just the
one crew member order means we can reduce the administration costs.
So get together, find out how many PLBs are needed on your boat, give us
a call and we will organise the rest.
Where possible we are reducing the cost for boats that are organised, get in early, use us regularly, return quickly and where we just deal with one crew member for hire delivery and return.
We
recommend and supply only GPS enabled personal EPIRBs (PLBs)
If you are thinking about buying a
PLB please DON'T try to save money buying the non GPS version.
They should not
be on the market, they are slow and less accurate and will waste critical time
in the event of a rescue.
a Non
GPS PLBs can take up to 3 hours to pinpoint your location.
EPIRBhire has had 12 rescues to date with GPS enabled
PLBs, all had a rescue response at their location within 2 hours.
If you hire or borrow an EPIRB make sure your trip details plus any follow up
information is instantly available 24/7 to AMSA to assist in your rescue.
call Peter on 0415
263 750 for a chat any time if you have any questions.

When an emergency beacon is activated it transmits a unique ID signal. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) requires the beacons to be registered. The registration form requires a 24 hour contact person who will be called if the beacon is activated.
The issue for all businesses is keeping these records current; Is that 24 hour contact person the current user of the beacon? If not, does the contact person have the full details of the current user? If there are multiple users of the one beacon are these records up to date and correct? In the event of an emergency will delays or lack of details hinder the rescue effort?
EPIRBhire
can solve all these problems for less than $.80c per day.
Long
term hire of a beacon will also be tax effective. Hiring removes the capital cost
of the beacon from your
balance sheet.
Long
term hire rates are negotiable to suit your needs.
