Re: Catamaran overdue - Caribbean

...seems there are now satellites that can detect those VHF signals.

Re: Catamaran overdue - Caribbean

My understanding is that both Class A & B use VHF frequencies only. If you are getting their AIS data when offshore then its thru some other method.

Re: Catamaran overdue - Caribbean

Glad to hear all is good.

I think for that short of a sail that your overdue concern/report was valid.

Suggestion: get their satt phone number so you can avoid not knowing in the future.
