SOS 2 Person Life Raft
A spokes person from SOS Marine said "This is the market we are addressing with our 2 person life raft- being one of the smallest lightest and affordable on the market but with many features found in the larger offshore rafts".
The Valise packed raft includes the Survival Aids- a signaling mirror, fresh water and a mini flares kit.
The Raft is designed to be easily stored being compact and weighing less than 8 kilos .
Although designed for inshore and coastal conditions, the raft has 3 large ballast pockets to improve stability in rougher seas and has a thermal floor to moderate water temperature.
It has been designed for ease of operation- either giving the painter line a good tug or throw in water and it will automatically inflate similar to an auto inflate life jacket.
Maintenance costs have been considerably reduced compare to the existing life rafts costs.
Equipment includes: Sea Anchor, Knife, Air Pump, Righting strap, SOLAS reflective tape, 2 SOLAS lights, Rescue Ring and a boarding ladder with buoyancy assist platform.
