Scott Smiles’ 42-foot boat sank in 50 seconds, leaving him, a friend and their two life jacket-clad young sons clinging to a cooler and EPIRB — the only items he had time to grab. The harrowing experience inspired Smiles to develop Life Cell — a self-contained, buoyant device that holds user-supplied safety and survival equipment. An EPRIB can be mounted externally for faster activation.
The basic Life Cell, The Trailer Boat, assists 2-4 people and has a grab handle to keep people attached. The Trailer Boat is SOLAS certified, endorsed by the Westpac Life Saver Helicopter Service, and is fire, impact and UV-resistant.
