Product information
The new 9-metre sea rescue boat with Delta hull is one of a series of seven new vessels which have been developed on the basis of previous SAR units.

The design of this new boat type incorporates the knowledge and experience of the rescue teams in the Search and Rescue (SAR) service. Like all SAR units of the DGzRS (German Sea Rescue Service) this 9 m boat is of welded, sea-waterresistant aluminiumconstruction, exploiting the proven network bulwark system.

The main feature of this type of vessel is its outstanding sea-worthiness. In shallow waters, with heavy seas and breakers, the boat remains stable, manoeuvres perfectly,survives serious grounding and is capable of running alongside other vessels even at fairly high speeds and in difficult conditions thanks to the shock-absorbing fender system running all round the hull.

The hull is sub-divided into a series of watertight compartments, greatly increasing the vessel´s safety if a leak should occur.

The hull form is specially designed to combine low drag with good stability and excellent sea-going qualities, especially when running before the wind.

The far aft location of the hull´s maximum beam and the 40° angled hull surfaces are features which were developed with the expert ise of the DGzRS and the dockyard. S

ince the boats are designed to be used under the most difficult conditions possible,they include comprehensive safety measures. This new vessel is controlled exclusively from the fully enclosed upper command position, and is equipped with the latest navigation technology.

The crew are provided with special high-security seats with a safety harness system.

The model is drawn to a scale of 1:20, and has been developed with the help of documents from the DGzRS and the Fr. Schweers dockyard. All the parts which are difficult to make are supplied as ABS plastic mouldings: they include the hull, deck, superstructure and many other small parts.

The hull, deck and superstructure are CNC-trimmed. Many injection-moulded plastic parts are also provided, including bollards, aerials, blue light, lanterns and other components, and these all help to shorten the building time.

The boat can be run with a basic set of RC equipment,but there is space for additional working systems at the builder´s discretion, including sound simulator, lighting system etc.
