"All vessels under 6 metres in length are now required to carry an EPIRB when operating outside sheltered waters. Sheltered waters are best described as within 2 nautical miles of land on the North and East Coasts as well as the specific areas listed below. This requirement brings smaller vessels, who go offshore, into the same legislative requirements as larger vessels using the same waters who have always been required to carry an EPIRB. Therefore ALL vessels operating outside sheltered waters require an EPIRB.
As a reminder to boaters who may be purchasing an EPIRB, from 1st February 2009, the Cospas-Sarsat satellite system will no longer process the 121.5MHz frequency used by most distress beacons. The distress frequency used will be 406MHz"
