Great day at the fishing show - weather was perfect and good attendance. Winners on the day were the guys from Johnsons Fish running the fishmonger stall and doing filleting displays - they were super busy, very informative and doing a great trade. Was not able to find out where they got their monster plaice from though!

Morning, LGS Marine will again be attending the Southsea fishing Show on Saturday (6th May), showing our range of marine safety equipment, with some great deals on offer. We will also be working with the RNLI who are offering free lifejacket inspections, by offering a discount on lifejacket servicing. https://www.premiermarinas.com/Marina-News-Events/Marina-Events/2017/May/Southsea-Marina-Fishing-Show There is also a boat jumble, tackle shops, boats on display and talks throughout the day, so is worth attending. See you there, Steve

It's getting to the time of year when boat owners start to think about getting their lifejackets and liferafts serviced. LGS Marine is offering a 10% discount off the final bill for any items booked in for servicing before the end of the year (most makes and models accepted). It is also worth checking the other dated items you have on board (lifejacket and lifebuoy lights, flares, medical packs, hydrostatic releases, etc) as this again is a common time of year for these to expire. We can offer great deals on pricing - just let me know what you are after. We will also offer free disposal of out of date flares when replacement are bought (a small fee will apply otherwise). Please contact me on 01329 550988, or at stephen.merchant@lgsgroup.co.uk for more information. Check out the earlier post on the Leisure Raft as well - one of the smallest and lightest rafts available on the market. Steve

Afternoon, Following the Southampton Boat Show, Mal has identified a couple of products which may be of interest to the members of PBSBAC - the RescueMe PLB1 and MOB1. Both are compact options for MOB alerting and recovery, should the situation arise. LGS Marine can offer the following two products as a special rate for members, valid until the 31st October 2016: RescueMe PLB: £165.00 inc vat 30% smaller (typ) by volume Easily fits in lifejacket Retractable Antenna 7 Year Battery Life 7 year warranty 24+ hour operational life High brightness strobe light >1candela 66 channel GPS receiver Unique mounting clip Operates on the global Cospas Sarsat rescue system Free to use, no subscription charges Supplied with free flotation pouch Wherever you are, at sea, on land, the rescueME PLB1 provides the reassurance that global emergency services can be alerted by the press of a button. The rescueMe PLB1 can be operated with a single hand in even the most challenging situations. A simple spring loaded flap covers the activation button preventing inadvertent use. rescueME PLB1 works with the only officially recognised worldwide dedicated search and rescue satellite network (operated by Cospas Sarsat). As this is funded by governments there are NO CHARGES to use this service. When activated the rescueME PLB1 transmits your position and your ID to a Rescue Coordination Center via satellite link. Rescue services nearest to your are promptly notified of your emergency and regularly advised of your current location to assist prompt rescue. The rescueME PLB1 is provided with a flotation pouch to fit the PLB into to enable it to float. Please note that the PLB will not float in an operating position in the pouch. Please ensure the PLB is firmly attached to the pouch with the provided lanyard, using suitable self locking knots. RescueMe MOB1 - £175.00 inc vat Integrated DSC transmitter (digital selective calling)* 30% (typ) smaller than competitors Automatic activation Simple lifejacket integration 7 year battery life 24+ hours operational life 5 year warranty† Fast accurate positioning * DSC functionality is subject to regulations of country. † Subject to warranty statement. Introducing the world’s smallest AIS MOB device with integrated DSC – the rescueME MOB1 from Ocean Signal. The MOB1 is compatible with even the most compact inflatable life-jackets. The MOB1 is intended to be installed within the life-jacket and will activate automatically on inflation, sending the fi rst alert within 15 seconds. The integrated strobe light ensures maximum visibility in low light conditions. The MOB1 communicates with the vessel you have been separated from and other vessels in the vicinity (up to 5 miles range dependent on conditions). To alert rescue authorities, an alternative product the rescueME PLB1 communicates directly via a dedicated search and rescue satellite network. In an emergency rescueME MOB1 provides 2 methods of rapidly communicating your position, accurate to a few metres, back to the vessel, plus providing visual indication via its built in strobe light. The best chance of rapid rescue if you fall overboard comes from your own vessel. Your crew needs to be immediately aware of the incident and keep track of your position whilst recovery is carried out. Even in the most moderate of seas it is alarming how quickly a visual sighting of a man overboard can be lost. Once activated your MOB1 will transmit an alert to all AIS receivers and AIS enabled plotters in the vicinity. The integrated GPS ensures precise location is sent to your vessel and any others that may be assisting. An additional feature of the MOB1, is its ability to activate the DSC alarm on your vessels VHF, alerting your crew to the situation. Compatibility: Most modern AIS plotters and DSC VHF comply with the standards required to receive MOB transmissions. It is however, especially if you are using older equipment, recommended that you check compatibility with the equipment manufacturer Both items are in stock ready for immediate dispatch. Carriage to a UK mainland address is £7.50 in vat. If you would like to order or would like further information, please let me know. I can be contacted either via this forum / PM, or phone 01329 550986, or email stephen.merchant@lgsgroup.co.uk. Steve

Morning all. Hope you all had a good weekend. Am keen to get all the orders sorted today ideally, so we can arrange delivery for before the weekend. For those who wish to order, can you email me your details as per the earlier post, and I will get this finalised. Any questions, let me know. Steve

Hi Mal, I can do the RescueME PLB1 for £199.90. These should retail at £282, but I could match the current online pricing in this instance. Steve

Hi Mal, Even as a trade supplier, I can't compete with that pricing - chandleries get special offer winter stocking prices, then give the products away for no margin. It's never made any sense to me, as the RRP for these units is £280! Crazy. The Ocean Signal RescueME is the unit I can offer, as per the below: ● Waterproof to 15m ● 30% smaller by volume ● Easily fits in lifejacket ● Retractable Antenna ● 7 Year Battery Life ● 7 year warranty ● 24+ hour operational life ● High intensity (1 candela) strobe ● 66 channel GPS receiver ● Unique mounting clip ● Operates on the global Cospas Sarsat rescue system ● Fast accurate positioning ● Homing beacon to aid final location by search and rescue craft ● Free to use, no subscription charges ● Supplied with free flotation pouch

When we have final numbers and a delivery date, I will ask for payment - this can be by card over the phone or bank transfer. This will ensure all paperwork is completed and everyone gets what they are after. It would be good to finalise details on Monday, so if anyone else wants to join in on the offers, just let me / them know. Steve

Morning, We can offer the offshore packs (4 x red hand flare, 4 x red rocket & 2 x buoyant orange smoke) for £180. Steve

Hi Rob, Online market for PLB's is super competitive at the moment, but I could offer the Ocean Signal RescueME PLB to match the online pricing of £199.90. Let me know if of interest and I can get arranged for you. Steve

Hi Martin. I have PM'd you separately with the liferaft servicing details. Once we have a final list of participants for the flare packs, I will need each person to get in contact with payment details, or I can supply bank details for transfers, and we can arrange a day for delivery / collection. Steve

If anyone has out of date flares they wish to dispose of, these could be collected at the same time. Mick, I could offer the coastal pack for £89 (RRP is £130 and current online price seems to be £99, excluding carriage).
