Boat Rescue System BRS (pat.)

The patented BRS™ system protects the boat, its onboard belongings, and the environment, as it stays afloat even when water enters. Due to its ease of use, the system can be used by any crew member. No additional training is required. Simply reading the instructions is sufficient.
The energy for filling the buoyancy chambers comes from a CO2 fire extinguisher, which simply requires unscrewing the extinguishing nozzle and replacing it with the BRS nozzle. The fire extinguisher is independent of external factors and therefore works under all conditions.

The exceptionally short preparation time of the BRS™ system prevents the boat from sinking in the vast majority of cases in the event of damage to the boat followed by water ingress.

The successful deployment of the BRS™ system avoids the exceptionally high follow-up costs of recovering the boat from the seabed and the costs of additional damage resulting from the sinking of the boat.

The BRS™ system prevents the uncontrolled release of hazardous fluids such as fuels, engine oils and chemicals, which poses a major threat in the event of the boat sinking.

The small volume and low weight of the BRS™ system allows for easy storage and rapid deployment in an emergency.

In addition, the included CO2 fire extinguisher ensures that you can extinguish fires caused by flammable liquids and electrical short circuits.

The BRS™ system is available in four versions .

• BRS Kit 2N (with net): Two buoyancy aids with net holder for both buoyancy aids, suitable for small open boats with a displacement of 1700 kg.

• BRS Kit 4 (without net): Four buoyancy aids without net holder, suitable for small to medium-sized boats with a cabin and a water displacement of 3400 kg.

• BRS Kit 4N (with net): Four buoyancy aids with net holder for two buoyancy aids, suitable for small to medium-sized boats with a small cabin (typical for modern day cruisers), with a water displacement of 3400 kg.

• BRS Kit 6 (without net): 6 buoyancy aids without net holder, suitable for boats with a large cabin up to approximately 11 meters in length, with a water displacement of 5100 kg.

Of course, the different kits can also be combined with each other to keep even larger boats on the water surface.

A 2 kg CO2 fire extinguisher is sufficient to fill a total of six inflation devices.

The decisive factor for the correct dimensioning of each boat is its specific weight, with metal boats having a higher specific weight than boats made of fiberglass or other plastic composites. In practice, the buoyancy aids used must compensate for the weight of all non-buoyant parts of the boat. This includes not only the hull itself but also the entire rigging, the boat engine, the anchor with anchor chain, the keel, other equipment, and at least one person remaining on board. For metal boats, this means the total weight of the equipped boat plus at least one crew member.

The BRS kits are supplied with and without a CO2 fire extinguisher. To protect the system, the BRS kits are delivered in one of our dry bags.
