Foghorns: Sound safety at sea

The foghorn is an essential safety device on board any vessel. It allows you to signal your presence in reduced visibility, ensuring the safety of your crew and other mariners. At Skysat, drawing on our experience in offshore racing, we select robust and reliable foghorns, adapted to the demands of the marine environment. Discover our range and choose safety.

choosing your foghorn

Choosing a foghorn depends on the size of your boat and the areas you sail in. Several criteria should be considered, including sound range, power source, and ease of installation. We offer a selection of foghorns that meet current international standards.

• Electric foghorns: Powered by 12V or 24V, they offer consistent sound output and high reliability. Ideal for recreational and professional boats.
• Compressed air foghorns: Self-contained and powerful, they are particularly suited to harsh conditions. Require a compressed air cylinder.
• Manual foghorns: Simple and economical, they constitute an effective emergency solution.
• Foghorn/speaker combos: Integrate both functions for centralized management of sound communications.

installation and maintenance

Proper installation is essential to ensure the effectiveness of your foghorn. It is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and regularly check that the system is working correctly. Skysat can assist you in choosing and installing your foghorn.

• Supply voltage check: Make sure the foghorn voltage matches that of your boat.
• Weather protection: Protect the foghorn from sea spray and UV rays to prolong its lifespan.
• Regular testing: Perform regular tests to verify that the foghorn is functioning correctly.
• Membrane replacement (if applicable): Some foghorns require periodic membrane replacement.
