Maritme Institute, Inc.
To put it simply, we believe this device belongs aboard every vessel. When it comes to safely recovering a person in the water, it just makes sense to have the best odds possible.

The Maritime Institute's Rhumb Punch is equipped with the Life-Safer. With a little practice anyone onboard can accurately throw where its needed, and in a hurry.

Look over the informaiton on this page to see how it works or you can visit the Life-Safer website for more info or to see the series of short demonstration videos. A link to their site is provided below.
