Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q.

Do we have to buy all four SeaMedic modules at the same time?

       A.

No.  The whole idea of SeaMedic is that you can build up the kit as time goes on and your sailing becomes more adventurous.

 

Q.

If we are planning an Atlantic crossing, do we have to buy all four modules?

A.

No.  We would recommend having modules one and two as a minimum.  Modules three and four are intended for those who intend to embark on extended ocean cruising.  Module three is primarily equipment and module four medicines including some that may not be readily available at a port of call.

Q.

Are the SeaMedic boxes waterproof?

A.

No.  The boxes are shock proof, but in our opinion most vessels would not benefit from having a waterproof medical kit.  Most boats have adequate dry areas and if required outside the contents will get wet as soon as the box is opened.  As an optional extra we can supply waterproof cases for specific applications (price on application).

 

Q.

Does SeaMedic conform to MCA regulations?

A.

SeaMedic can be made to conform to MCA regulations for commercial or charter vessels relatively easily, however the additional components required will not generally benefit the average yachtsman.  We have chosen to include modern practical components of true benefit to the offshore yachtsmen, rather than simply following a standard specification.  We believe that SeaMedic is better suited to its target application.

 

Q.

Can we keep SeaMedic up to date?

A.

Yes.  We can supply any of the individual components and advise you of modern alternatives to include in your kit as time goes on.  SeaMedic is very versatile and can be easily adapted to include additional components.  SeaMedics are generally built to order to ensure the very latest dates on all components.  We also source most components from major companies to ensure continuity.
