PLAN FOR DANGER

During the colder months of winter rescue teams and agencies should be organizing their assets and preparing the training cycles to begin the new season. Weather events around the country, and the world in general, have become more and more frequent with devastating results/consequences. We mustered early today to work with another group to carry out their mission. It’s not like we want to be working at 4AM but necessity doesn’t follow a schedule, you go when and where you need to.

Recently we had the opportunity to work with Pacific NW Search & Rescue as they plan for their upcoming season. They needed a replacement vessel better suited for the conditions in the Columbia Gorge-Hood River area which can mimic a highly confused sea state. Being one of the best wind surfing and foiling spots in the world means things happen real fast in waves that break or sink boats not equipped to endure the conditions. Their recreational grade Caribe was no match for the beating the Columbia doled out and after many repairs they decided a boat more purpose built was in order.

Enter the Zodiac MILPRO SRMN600


Built to suit Pacific NW Search & Rescue’s unique operational parameters the Zodiac MILPRO SRMN600 was tubed in orange with “SEARCH & RESCUE” APPLIED to the heavy 1880dtx fabric. The tubes were married to the heavy-duty hull featuring dual scupper trunks for quick bailing if waves break over the boat during a rescue. Featuring enough deck space to stabilize a victim or resuscitate them if needed until they can be transported by ambulance or aircraft to a medical center.

From concept, to getting it loaded on the trailer, IBC worked with Pacific NW Search & Rescue every step of the way, including some hasty training on a twin-engine Zodiac MILPRO SRA750 helping them hone their skills prior to receiving their custom boat.

Don’t wait until the season is upon you and victims need help, call Inflatable Boat Center today to speak to one of our qualified staff and bring the right tools to the job!
