I have developed a device for day or night time crew overboard recovery
practice drills. Details may be found at www.cobtarget.com.

When I was in the Navy //////. A COB was ....sigh.

Tom,
This kind of MOB marker is common on sailboats. I am not PC so I refuse to
call it a COB. I am sure you can find something similar at all marine
stores.

It's a hell of a lat easier to use something a little more realistic -
like a PFD with a light or overboard strobe.

Cheaper too I'll bet.

Later,

I think the device is useful, because it can also be used in a real
situation - throw it after the victim ASAP, and it will mark the
position. A friend of mine has a similar, self-made device without the flashing
LED.

It is also required equipment for most offshore racing. The advantage of
the pole with the flag is it helps find a MOB during the day. The strobes
are most effective during nighttime, and in bright daylight in heavy seas
might be useless.

This person advertised it as a practice device in rec.boats, but the web
page highlighted that it is a fully functional MOB pole with strobe. I have
no idea why he thought he could sell more by advertising it as a practice
target.

I hope you noticed I call it a MOB and not a COB. ; )

I wonder if he sells a KOB (Krause overboard) device to throw to him if he
fell overboard?

Harry is going to call the police, the FBI, the CIA, Interpol, Scotland
Yard, and the UN on you for that. But, to be like you, he'll have to
call them on someone else besides you......

Kevin, could you please read that, and if it has some meaning let us know what
it is.

That would be very sweet of you.
