Canadian Yachting June 2018 - 51
Ted Rankine holds a flare gun and also an
electronic distress strobe - he has both in his safety
kit but he believes flares get attention fastest.
also on his aircraft, Ted carries flares.
Doing the Powerboat Television show for so many years,
Ted became very involved in boating safety and filmed mock
emergency situations and demonstration flare deployments
for the show.
He shared an experience he had while shooting an episode
of Powerboat Television at Roche's Point on Lake Simcoe. With
the assistance of York Regional Police and the Canadian Coast
Guard, Ted and his team filed the proper papers for 'Notice to
Mariners' that there would be a demonstration of flare use at
dusk on Roche's Point on a particular evening and that it was not
a real emergency. In spite of that, within 10 to 15 minutes, nine
different boats had responded, ready to give assistance. Boaters
recognized the flare signal and came as fast as they could.
The experience convinced Ted of the flare's power to get
attention.
"I want a flare," he said. "I think it's like a shout compared to
a conversation."
John Gullick told us that while the Canadian Power and Sail
Squadrons are not taking a side on this, he has deployed flares
in controlled demonstrations. John also did a Canadian Marine
Advisory Council (CMAC) presentation with marine safety
equipment manufacturer, Pains Wessex, demonstrating their
new electronic strobe distress signal. The demonstration included one with fresh batteries and one that had already run for 60
hours, and it was difficult to see the difference between the two.
United States Search and Rescue technicians have also seen
it in action and reported that it was very visible, especially at
night. It would help people to hone in on a person at sea and get
really on target with the continuous strobe flash.
