Echomax Active XS
State of the Art Echomax Active-XS-Dual
Band Radar Target Enhancer with minuscule current draw
of 23mA on stand by and very high X and S band response
many times the new ISO 8729-2 standard. Unique visual
facility to identify S or X Band Radar paints. Quadruple
alarm facility as standard.
The Active-XS amplifies and returns a stronger signal
and these high responses to both X or S Band Radar increase
the likelihood of improving your vessel's radar cross
section and helps to alert oncoming vessels of your position
and detection especially in poor conditions and thereby
reduce the risk of collision.

Solar Still
- Tear open pack for emergencies
- Easily inflated by mouth
- Lanyard fixing
- Pure water stored in separate pouch
- High visibility orange plastic
- Proven reliability
- Made to ISO 9002 with NATO stock number
Aquamate solar stills are light, compact and very easy to use.
They utilise solar radiation to distil and collect pure drinking water from sea or impure water.
The still will produce 500-2000 ccs of water per day and has been used for over forty years by military and civilian services around the world.
An ideal addition to the grab bag for any ocean going yachtsman at a fraction of the price of a mechanical or electrical unit.
