Imagine the situation on a sailing boat in a storm after the mast has broken. The most urgent task is to cut the ropes and get rid of the mast, before it damages the hull of the ship.

Very soon it becomes obvious, that speed is essential, and that there is no time to operate a cutter with muscle- power.
The solution was a cutter powered by a shooting unit.
The main advantages were speed and one-hand operation.

Ergonomic examinations, mockups and prototypes were made to confirm the conception.
The product is unique in the market worldwide and can be concidered a most effective and reliable security device for sailors
