50-mile navigation kit – code: KIT50

The 50-mile navigation kit (code KIT50) is a ready-to-use solution designed for signaling equipment in the nautical field. The kit is supplied inside a heat-sealed waterproof bag or case (Dry Bag), designed to protect pyrotechnic devices from moisture and saltwater splashes during stowage in the locker or other onboard compartments.

The configuration is clear and orderly: inside you will find 6 pieces in total, selected to cover the main signaling needs in different operating conditions (day/night and at varying distances). It is a suitable choice for those who want an already organized kit, with components dedicated both to attracting attention at a distance and to more precise signaling during the approach phases of rescue. Expiry 2028. Shipping only in Italy.

Kit features and details

The strength of the KIT50 is the “ready-to-manage” setup: waterproof container and contents divided by type of signal. The heat-sealed Dry Bag helps keep the devices more protected in a typically critical environment such as on board, where condensation, salt, and splashes can compromise materials and packaging.

Contents: 6 signaling devices

• 2 Red Parachute Flares: long-range devices that reach about 300 meters in altitude; the descent is slowed by a small parachute to increase visibility at great distances.
• 2 Red Hand Flares: designed for short-range signaling, useful in the final rescue phases to indicate the position to rescue vehicles.
• 2 Floating Smoke Buoys: devices to be thrown into the water that generate a dense and continuous orange smoke, particularly useful for daytime localization (also by aerial vehicles).

Packaging and protection in a marine environment

The presence of a Heat-sealed waterproof Dry Bag makes the kit practical to store and quickly retrieve. During navigation and onboard maintenance, being able to rely on a dedicated container helps to:

• keep the devices gathered in one place, avoiding dispersal among lockers and equipment;
• reduce exposure to moisture and splashes during storage;
• simplify periodic equipment checks, thanks to more orderly management.

Typical onboard applications

The KIT50 is designed for nautical use and safety management during navigation. The combination of light and smoke signals allows you to face different scenarios, adapting the signaling to the context and visibility conditions.

Distance signaling

I red parachute flares they are indicated when it is necessary to attract attention from a distance. The slow ascent and descent due to the parachute are useful elements to make the signal more evident and easier to spot.

Precision signaling during approach phases

I red flare guns are particularly useful when rescue teams are already in the area and it is necessary to indicate your position more precisely. They are a typical choice for the final phase, when the distance decreases and visual communication becomes more direct.

Daytime localization and indication of the point in the water

The floating smoke buoys are designed for daytime signaling: the dense and continuous orange smoke helps make the point evident, especially in the presence of traffic or when visual identification is complex. The fact that they float allows immediate marking of the position in the water.

Operational advantages

While maintaining a simple setup, the KIT50 offers a coherent and functional equipment for those who want a complete and organized set. The main advantages concern ease of management, the variety of available signals, and protection of the contents in a marine environment.

Ready and organized kit

• Balanced selection of devices for long-distance, short-range, and daytime signaling.
• Simplified management of the equipment: a single kit, easy to store and retrieve.
• More immediate control of the contents thanks to the defined composition (6 pieces).

Protection during storage

The waterproof bag/case (Dry Bag) heat-sealed is a practical element for real use on board: it helps protect the devices from humid environments and salt spray, frequent conditions in the locker and technical compartments.

Suitable for different scenarios

The presence of light and smoke signals allows choosing the most suitable solution based on:

• lighting conditions (day/night);
• distance and visibility needs;
• phase of the intervention (attention request vs precise position indication).

Use and notes

The kit contains pyrotechnic devices: it is important to store them neatly and in an easily accessible place on board, avoiding separating them from the dedicated container. The Dry Bag helps in protection and management, but it is good practice to periodically check the condition of the equipment and keep the kit ready for use.

If necessary, select the device most suitable for the scenario (long-distance signaling, close-range signaling, daytime localization) and make sure to operate in a controlled and aware manner, in a safe area and with adequate attention to the surrounding environment.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 50-mile navigation Kit KIT50 include?

The kit includes 6 devices: 2 red parachute flares, 2 red hand flares, and 2 floating smoke buoys.

Is the kit supplied with a waterproof container?

Yes. The KIT50 is supplied in a heat-sealed waterproof bag or case (Dry Bag), designed to protect the devices from moisture and splashes during storage.

What are the red parachute flares used for?

They are long-range signaling devices: they reach about 300 meters altitude and the slowed descent by the parachute helps maximize visibility at distance.

When are the red hand flares useful?

They are suitable for short-range signaling, especially when it is necessary to indicate the position more precisely in the final stages of rescue.

Are floating smoke buoys suitable for daytime signaling?

Yes. They generate a dense and continuous orange smoke and, being floating, can be thrown into the water to make the location point more visible during the day.
