The remarkable, new and exclusive, built-in cellular foam
floor is a major breakthrough in survival equipment, providing
enhanced protection against hypothermia and increased comfort.
Coated with a resistant layer of aluminum film, it retains and
throws back body heat to protect survivors from the cold of
the water. It is also lighter than traditional floors and
since it is not inflatable there is no chance of it failing to
work when the liferaft is launched.
The double-insulated canopy is fitted with ventilation and
observation portholes, a rainwater collector and large, easy
to close doors, successfully tested using immersion suit
gloves. Supported by a strong inflatable arch it is able to
withstand gale-force winds and extreme sea conditions.
Finished in a high visible colour, it also features retroreflective tapes and radar attachments to help search and
rescue services to quickly locate it's position. The outside
signaling light and inside comfort light, fitted with a manual
on/off switch to help conserve the 12 hours, automatically
activate when the canopy is erecting.
The unique rust-proof SurvitecZodiac firing head allows quick
inflation even at -30C (-22F) in less than 3 minutes, whatever
the size of liferaft.
High volume, weighted water pockets for immediate deployment
are fitted under the floor to stabilize the liferaft.
The use
of a large, approved design, sea anchor prevents the liferaft
drifting under the lee.
