We currently operate one boat. We sold our smaller boat to acquire a larger one that more suited our
mission. Our current boat is a 1992 21' Zodiac Hurricane RHIB with a 225 h.p. Evinrude E-TEC motor
and a stand-up helm. The boat is equipped with a variety of water rescue equipment and is configured
to accommodate a Stokes litter w/backboard. The normal crew is three to four persons trained in
surface water rescue. We use the boat to cover public events and for safety and rescue coverage of
boat races as well as searches for drowning victims. We can provide mutual aid in support of dive
operations.
