Revolve-Tec’s Emergency VHF Antenna

Marine Components International (MCI) has been made the exclusive UK marine distributor for Revolve-Tec’s Rollable Boat Hook and Emergency VHF Antenna made from advanced rollable composite materials.

Poole-based MCI supplies a wide range of marine products to leading yacht builders, chandlers, and shipyards worldwide. MD Andy Scott says he is now looking for UK dealers within the chandlery and shipyard sectors.

“Revolve-Tec has taken a completely innovative approach to the design process of a boat hook and emergency antenna, reducing size and weight whilst increasing ease of use and overcoming storage space issues,” he says. ”The impressive result is a lightweight, strong, and compact boat hook and emergency antenna that are truly revolutionary and ideal for use on all craft including yachts, tenders, canal boats, dinghies and even jet skis.”

The Revolve-Tec Boat Hook

Ultra-light and compact, the range includes the modular multi-accessory deck gear system that can be turned into a boat hook or deck brush system, an optional accessory mount is also available for attaching a variety of equipment such as action cameras, lights, smartphones, and nets.

The high-performance marine emergency VHF antenna with AIS compatibility can be deployed in seconds with the advantage it is compact so easily stowed onboard or in a grab bag, when deployed it’s 2.5m long to get a good signal, and it is ultra-light for hoisting up a mast or if holding. The high- viz cover and optional SOLAS approved LED strobe light aid location for the emergency services.

Revolve-Tec has been recognised for its innovation and awarded Best New Product in the Safety Equipment Category at the IBEX 2022 Innovation Awards and nominated for a DAME innovation award in the lifesaving and safety equipment category in 2021.

Revolve-Tec products are widely used on cruising yachts, race yachts, sailing dinghies, tenders, canal boats and jet skis being easily stowed and taking up minimal space, they pack down smaller than any other comparable system, saving valuable space on board. Ideal for all craft especially those with limited storage space.
