Weems & Plath earned the prestigious Innovation Award from the National Marine Manufacturers’ Association (NMMA) and the Boating Writers International (BWI) at the 2016 Progressive Insurance Miami International Boat Show this year. This SOS Distress Light was declared the only electronic flare to qualify as a U.S. Coast Guard compliant visual distress signal for night use.
The LED light flashes up to 60 hours on standard C-cell batteries, and the patented lens shines horizontal and vertical beams that are visible for up to 10 nautical miles. It retails for $99.95 on Weems & Plath’s website.
