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.
