ACR Electronics RapidDitch Bag, Yellow Emergency Abandon-Ship Bag, Model 2278

The ACR Electronics RapidDitch Bag (Model 2278) is a purpose-built emergency grab bag designed to keep essential safety and survival gear organized and ready to grab in an abandon-ship situation. Built in high-visibility yellow for fast identification in low-light or water conditions, the bag features a durable 600 denier polyester exterior with a reflective finish to aid visibility, paired with a 210 denier polyester interior lining. An elastic closure system allows quick, one-motion access when seconds matter, while a shoulder strap keeps the bag secure and hands-free during an emergency exit.

Inside, the RapidDitch Bag is organized into 3 compartments, making it easy to separate and locate flares, a first aid kit, water, a VHF radio, or other safety equipment without digging through a single main pocket. The utilitarian styling and solid yellow pattern keep the design functional and unmistakable among other onboard gear. Boaters, sailors, and offshore crews use it to consolidate abandon-ship essentials into one grab-and-go unit that stores easily in a cockpit locker or near the companionway.
