Ocean Signal rescueME MOB1

This is the ultimate insurance policy for solo sailors, packing AIS and DSC distress signaling into a footprint small enough to disappear inside your life jacket. You sacrifice a bit of battery longevity compared to bulkier beacons, but the trade-off for near-instant, automated rescue alerts is a no-brainer.
