Sea Tow Foundation Interview with ACR Electronics
Video Blog
Sea Tow Foundation staff sat down with Mikele D’Arcangelo from ACR Electronics to talk about their new ResQFlare product.
The ResQFlare is an emergency distress signal that can replace pyrotechnic flares carried by boaters because it meets both day and night requirements and is approved by the US Coast Guard. The ResQFlare is an electronic flare that operates using two C-size batteries that are easily replaceable and it will display a bright light for up to 20 hours compared to the pyrotechnic flares that only burn for 3 minutes each and have to be replaced every 42 months.
Sea Tow members are able to purchase the ResQFlare and other ACR Electronics products such as Personal Locator Beacons (PLB) or Emergency (EPIRB) at a discount because they are part of the Sea Tow Savings Club.
