Great Circle Equipment Packs:

ISO Under 24 Hour Pack meets standard ISO 9650 where survivor rescue is expected in less than 24 hours. Compliant to YA Racing Rules of Sailing, 2013 – 2016. Contains essential equipment for the proper functioning of the life raft but with limited personal supplies – reduced drinking water and no food rations for example. reduced pack weight is a significant advantage to weight conscious racing sailboats and to those mariners who prefer limited perishable items (things that have a dated service life – food and water rations, first aid supplies, flares etc.) aboard their raft. An emergency abandon ship grab bag with additional survival items is strongly recommended.

ISO Over 24 Hour Pack Meets ISO 9650 Where survivor rescue may be longer than 24 hours. Contains equipment required by all State Marine Authorities for commercial vessels operating under survey requirements and where ‘Notice of Race’ under Yachting Australia, Racing Rules of Sailing, 2013 – 2016, requires additional survivor equipment. It is also the optimum pack for unregulated recreational and blue water mariners.

Voyager Pack Idewally provisioned pack for blue water and long distance cruising. Additional drinking water, food rations and other items compliments components found in the Under 24hr Pack.
