COBRA MARINE AND SEA TOW FOUNDATION PROVIDE
MAYDAY CALL TRAINING AT MIAMI BOAT SHOW
It's never too early to learn about safety on the water. That's why Cobra Marine, a division of Cobra Electronics, along with its partners Sea Tow Services International and the Sea Tow Foundation for Boating Safety and Education are offering simulated VHF radio mayday call and radio operation instruction for children at the Miami International Boat Show. Those interested in participating can stop by Sea Tow's booth #S40 or Cobra's booth #1610 anytime during the show, February 11-15.
"We aligned ourselves with Sea Tow to help make waterways safer by enabling effective communication," said Tony Mirabelli, Cobra's senior vice-president of marketing and sales. "Now, we're taking it one step further and showing the next generation of boaters how to help in an emergency."
Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, Cobra Marine incorporates unique and innovative features into its line of fixed and handheld VHF radios, including Rewind-Say-AgainTM and MicroBlue technology. Established in 1983 by Captain Joe Frohnhoefer, Sea Tow is a franchise-based, international marine assistance organization headquartered in Southold, New York. The Sea Tow Foundation was founded by Frohnhoefer in 2007 to promote boating safety and education.
