The RDC can stretch your tight resources by giving you a do it all,
human powered, rescue boat. If you do
water rescue work, this boat should be along on every call. The Fortuna paddles like a fast canoe, has
the flotation of a raft and is as easy to mount as a surfboard. It will store in a small package, deploy in
a heartbeat and last for a decade.
There is no other boat that has as many applications or is as
safe. Whether on thin ice, fast
current or deep mud, the Fortuna offers an extremely safe and mobile platform
for the less than friendly environment.
The two access ports allow the responder to walk, crawl, swim or wade
out to the victim. Upon reaching the
scene, one person can easily lift the victim up through the access hole or
over the low freeboard sides. It can
be inflated with a hand pump or compressed air in a couple of minutes and can
support several people in multiple victim incidents.
