Security

- Over the course of 100 years, Bernhardt Apparatebau has developed from a diving helmet workshop into a globally sought-after specialist in maritime safety.
- Key innovations include scientifically developed lifejackets (such as the MRS 3 and the BS 8 automatic lifejacket) and rigorous quality controls in-house.
- Despite globalisation, the company remains committed to production in Holm, specialisation and family management; however, the question of succession remains unresolved.

- The slim Olight ArkPro combines a floodlight (1,500 lm), a spotlight (800 lm, up to 205 m), a UV light and a green laser in a compact on-board torch.
- 2,000 mAh battery, charged via USB-C or magnetic connector; IPX7 protection against splashes and rain; rinsing recommended after contact with salt water.
- Suitable for a wide range of on-board tasks, from stowage areas to harbour manoeuvres; small, easy to reach, available in several colours for 160 euros.

- Firemill is a compact, rapid-action CO₂ extinguisher for very small incipient fires; it is particularly suitable for use in the kitchenette, near electrical appliances or at the barbecue.  
- The unit extinguishes fires without leaving any residue, but has a discharge time of only around nine seconds and does not meet the EN 3 criteria for standard fire extinguishers.  
- It is intended as a supplementary galley extinguisher; it does not replace any mandatory on-board equipment and users must be aware of the risk of suffocation in confined spaces.

- Galvanic Voice combines NMEA-2000 alarm functions and issues voice alerts for AIS, anchor watch, on-board electrical systems and crew monitoring.
- MOB function via Pulse wristbands with direction/distance announcements, tiered alarm logic in accordance with IMO/IEC, gesture control and a 360° LED ring.
- Unit with Gorilla Glass front panel, app connectivity, IP67 protection, 12 V, price approx. €1,130 incl. VAT, delivery from the fourth quarter of 2026.

- Main causes of propeller damage: electrolysis, stray currents, fouling, damaged teeth, and faults in installation and maintenance.
- Sacrificial anodes, regular checks for cracks and corrosion, shaft bearings, sealing and securing the propeller are key protective measures.
- Careful handling of lines, correct gear-shifting techniques and raising crew awareness prevent blockages and premature wear of the propulsion system.

Protecting propellers: How skippers can prevent damage to the propulsion system

- If the rope becomes entangled, there is a risk of hidden damage to the drive train, which may later lead to vibrations, leaks or breakdowns.
- Experts recommend using a crane, visiting a workshop and removing the propeller and shaft to identify any deformation, imbalance or consequential damage to the clutch and gearbox.
- Bearings, seals, Saildrive components and peripheral parts may be damaged without being noticed; a professional inspection is therefore essential for safety reasons, even though cases of damage are rare.

After the line gets caught in the screw: This needs to be checked

- In the event of an abrupt engine stoppage caused by a line becoming entangled in the propeller, the top priority is to sail safely out of the danger zone.
- Restarting the engine without checking first can cause bent shafts, faulty seals and gradual damage to the gearbox.
- Disengage the engine; if possible, untie the line from the deck; otherwise, dive down or use a towing aid, and only investigate the cause once in a safe area.

Rope caught in the propeller: the key steps to take in an emergency

- Grease fires on yachts are extremely dangerous and are often caused by overheated oil in unattended pans in the galley.  
- In an emergency: switch off the heat source, smother the fire with a lid, never use water, alert the crew and make an emergency call.  
- Prevention: cook carefully, keep flammable materials away, have fire-extinguishing equipment to hand, brief the crew, and ensure fire safety measures are observed in the engine room as well.

- Heat protection on board through bathing, evaporative cooling (wet textiles, mini air-conditioning units), fans, windscoops and insulated ice containers.  
- Keeping food cool using an efficiently utilised on-board refrigerator, frozen cooling elements, insulation in sleeping bags and preservation methods.  
- Further measures: Awnings and umbrellas, reflective hatch foils, flexible route and travel time planning and heat-reducing sleeping and cooking habits.

- iPhone 14+ and Pixel 9 enable text-based satellite emergency calls in coastal areas, but cannot be used in international waters.  
- The basis is the Globalstar network (approx. 80 % of the earth's surface); the service supplements but does not replace VHF radio, EPIRB, PLB or Iridium phones.  
- Activation via key combination, guided question dialogue, location and status data transmission; service free of charge until Dec. 2024, fees open thereafter.
