The signal-coloured kit is called the Best Medical Kit, and its contents should live up to its name. This is the promise made by Torge Fahl, one of three medical students from Groningen in the Netherlands who have developed the kit, contents and instructions for emergencies. In an interview with YACHT, he reveals what it's all about.

You can read the interview in the current issue of YACHT, issue 4/2020. You can order the magazine directly from the publisher, or you can download the article directly via the link below.
