The ACR ResQFlare is a high intensity LED Electronic Distress Flare. Sold with the included daytime distress flag, the ResQFlare and accompanying flag are certified to meet the applicable U.S.C.G. requirements allowing them to be carried in lieu of traditional pyrotechnic flares. As a convenient alternative to pyrotechnic flares, the ResQFlare provides 360° visibility for over 6 miles and its efficient design allows for substantial operational life (burn time), drastically increasing your chances of survival and rescue.
The ResQFlare facilitates rescue by emitting the flash characteristic for the International Morse Code for S-O-S. Operating on just two user-replaceable C-Cell Alkaline batteries, the ResQFlare’s high-efficiency electronics allow it to maintain the USCG required 75 cd peak equivalent fixed intensity for over 20 hours.
The supplied Distress Flag provides numerous daylight signaling options. The flag can be flown by attaching to the mast or simply hoisting to the highest possible point.

AnchorSuits are getting incredibly difficult to find, but they're worth the effort to preserve the deck and anchor locker of my boats. Highly recommend IMG.
Mega yachts use neoprene fender covers, but it took a while to find them for smaller boats. Innovative had them for my Taylor Made Big B fenders. They look fantastic. My previous "woven" covers frayed and looked shabby.
What an ingenious idea. Not only does it protect your boat from getting dings and scratches from the anchor, but it keeps everything nice and neat and easy to store and retrieve. Well worth the money.
