Keep the floating population floating When it's a matter of life and death, you can't afford anything but the best. And the best is an Avon rigid hull inflatable.

Rigid Hull Inflatables are now in service with the R.N.L.I, and H.M. Coastguard . . . organisations which were both satisfied after extensive testing that this design was superior in rescue work. Features of the rigid 'V design include improved seaworthiness and the capability of maintaining speed in difficult sea conditions.

The Avon Searider 4 metre—now joined by its big brother, the Searider 5 metre—was specifically designed as a rescue craft. It combines the stability, impact resistance and high buoyancy of an inflatable with the performance and manoeuvrability of a rigid 'V hull.

Stability is provided by a unique water ballast system which enables effortless recovery of a person from the water. Avon Searider 4 metre can be launched by two people.
