The Avon standard Ocean-going life raft has many features, including more internal head room, easier boarding, greater night time visibility, new weighted ladder, and vacuum packing for extra stowed protection. The buoyancy tubes are made of tough heavy-duty nylon, calendered with a specially formulated neoprene, for maximum air retention and resistance to weathering and feature pressure relief valves and topping up valves. Each of the two independent buoyancy tubes is capable of supporting the full complement the raft has been designed for, while retaining the full floor area. The standard inflatable double floor helps to retain body heat in cold waters. A separate arch tube supports the canopy. Features include CO2 inflation cylinder on the side of the buoyancy tube with a 39? painter/firing lanyard and securing patch for painter line, new weighted ladder boarding system with webbing bridle inside to ease entry into the raft, bright red high visibility self-erecting canopy with retro reflective tapes, outside lifelines, automatically activated lighting with battery-save feature inside and on the canopy arch, entrance flap with tie taps and touch and close fastening, ventilation chute/observation port and rainwater collection, inside bracing lines, new large weighted stabilizing pockets, upper and lower independent neoprene/nylon buoyancy tubes, rescue quoit and line, and standard inflatable double floor for heat retention. The included emergency pack includes a safety knife, first aid pack, drinking water, flashlight, spare batteries and bulb, 2 paddles, flares, signaling mirror, bailer, sea anchor, sea sickness pills, whistle, and fishing kit. |
