The Fastfind Plus Personal Locator Beacon features the same advanced technology as found in the award winning Precision 406 GPS EPIRB. Designed using miniaturised components to fit into an ergonomically styled compact casing, the PLB employs a simple three-stage manual operation and features user replaceable batteries for use in temperatures down to –20 °C or –40 ° C.
When activated, the Fastfind Plus with integral GPS provides a 406 MHz alert signal via the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system. There is a visual indicator of GPS acquisition. Fastfind Plus also transmits on the International Aircraft Emergency Frequency of 121.5 MHz providing a homing signal for the Search And Rescue (SAR) services. A built-in self test facility includes testing of the 406 MHz and 121.5 MHz signal (where permitted) and GPS power up.
Carrying the Fastfind Plus could not be simpler, as it is supplied with a lanyard and carry case to enable the user to keep the PLB safely attached at all times.
These latest advanced products from McMurdo have been designed to provide recreational boaters, professional or semi professional crew, delivery yachtsmen and fishermen the very best chance of being found, without delay, at sea in an emergency.

Ellen MacArthur, round the world yachtswoman is understandably delighted by the launch of the Fastfind Plus and commented: “ In particular, when racing high speed Multihulls, the danger of being swept overboard when you are doing 30 knots is a serious one. At that speed, it is almost impossible to keep the person in sight, especially when racing just two up (like in the Transat Jacque Varbre race). The Fastfind Plus is going to significantly increase safety in this respect”.
