Quad Marine gains patent for electric catamaran


Quad Marine said it has been granted a patent for its Quad 44 electric catamaran.


The company said its first patent covers various elements of the catamaran. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is processing a second patent that covers additional elements of the boat.


The company said the Quad 44 flagship is being marketed as the Tesla of the marine industry and is the culmination of a 10-year development project to create the world’s most advanced four- cabin electric cruising catamaran without the design flaws and compromises of traditional boats.


The company recently launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise capital for the production of the Quad 44.


MOB floating strobe torch launched


A floating strobe torch that helps locate an MOB using alert and find mobile technology has been launched.


Exposure Lights’ OLAS Float-On is a 120-lumen pocket-sized floating torch, which, within eight seconds of immersion, will automatically set off its MOB strobe and trigger the OLAS App alarm and directional finder screens on an on-board mobile device.


Exposure Lights product manager, Tom Harrop, said: “We have created the OLAS Float-On using a combination of Exposure’s MOB technology and our OLAS mobile technology to create an ‘intelligent torch.


“The Float-On acts independently from the OLAS App system, acting as both a torch and water-activated strobe if a mobile device is not to hand.”


The torch can be attached to a lifejacket or lifebuoy and once activated, will float and strobe once every two seconds for up to 24 hours, with visibility from over three nautical miles away.
