Waterproofed Engines On

Self-Righting Lifeboat

Restart Following Capsize

A British-made inshore search and rescue boat, used by the Roy- al National Life-Boat Institution and the Royal Navy for several years, is now available in the U.S.

The Atlantic 21, a semirigid, self- righting craft with waterproofed engines and instrumentation, im- mediately restarts after a capsize.

The vessel's fiberglass planing hull ensures high speed (30+ knots) ; the inflatable, rubber sponson is buoyant and light. The boat's rigid bottom is divided in- ternally by longitudinal bulkheads into watertight compartments.

The "V" hull flattens out to a third of the craft's length for good planing under load, fast beaching (up to 20 knots) in an upright position, and easy trailer launch and recovery. Bailing is continuous through the open transom.

The easily removed neoprene sponson, comprised of two tubes, is attached to the hull by a slid- ing track system. The tubes, di- vided into seven buoyancy com- partments, resist the effect of gasoline, oil and sunlight.

The craft's stability is increased when, with a maximum of 20 sur-

October 15, 1977 51 vivors onboard, the beam expands almost 100 percent. If it capsizes, however, the craft can be self- righted by one of the three crew- men. When he pulls a remotely operated handle, a bag (housed in an aft roll bar) attached to an air bottle inflates and forces the craft back into floating position in about 15 seconds. While capsized, the boat is automatically an- chored.

Two launch and recovery sys- tems can be used—either a trac- tor-propelled launch/recovery trailer for beach or slipway con- ditions, or a crane (or davit) and lifting eyes for handling the craft from a jetty or moving vessel.

The tractor-propelled trolley, which launches the boat in all conditions, is fitted with cooling- tanks to which the engines can be attached with plastic pipes. Thus, the engines can be warmed up before the boat enters the water.

Overall length is 22 feet 3 inches, usual beam is 7 feet 8 inches, and draft is 2 feet 6 inches with engines down.
