Sometimes we receive stories that bring a smile to our faces—and at the same time demonstrate how seriously maritime safety is taken. Recently, a customer told us how she outfitted her seaworthy mascot, a bear, for the sailing season—with an oil jacket, life jacket, lifebelt, and an easyRESCUE from Weatherdock.
Little heroes, big security
But that’s not all: In addition to the little bear, Alfonso, Boris Herrmann’s monkey, has also been well-equipped, as has the mascot of the DGzRS in Cuxhaven. Better safe than sorry – whether you’re a professional skipper or a small companion.
The mascots accompany their owners on great adventures. Alfonso, for example, appeared on the YouTube and Instagram channel Team Malizia at the end of November 2024, and the accompanying children’s book about his sailing adventures was completed almost simultaneously.

Humor, heart and craftsmanship
We were delighted to hear from our customer. They combine a passion for sailing, craftsmanship, and a keen eye for detail – demonstrating that maritime safety is important for everyone, whether beginners, seasoned sea dogs, or even their charming little companions on board.
More security for everyone
Whether it’s the skipper, crew, or mascot – safety comes first! And sometimes a little peppermint tin hides a big guardian angel.
The small easyRESCUE AIS rescue transmitter was made from a peppermint tin.
„The skipper, crew, and our mascot are now perfectly equipped and sincerely hope we never have to use this little helper!“
writes our customer about the easyRESCUE – We hope so too!
