The Zodiac life raft advantages
Always striving to be at the leading edge in safety, the structure of the Zodiac life raft is manufactured to conform to the requirements of ISO 9650 (International Organization for Standardization on the design of life rafts).
VISIBLE
For optimum location by day and night
A canopy fitted with an enlarged area of
marine radar reflective tape increases the chances of electronic detection.A brightly coloured underside making it easy to spot if the life raft hascapsized.Fluorescent webbing will guide you easily towards the entrance of the life raft.
STABLE
1 Stabilizing water ballast pockets
High volume, weighted water ballast pockets for immediate
deployment give stability when boarding and stabilize the life raft inhigh winds and heavy seas.
2 2 Airtight compartments
5 On setting off the gas inflation system, the whole inflatable structure(buoyancy tubes and canopy arch
(1) ) is immediately inflated. The twobuoyancy tubes are totally independent of each other, ensuring that the life raft stays afloat even if one of the tubes is punctured.
(1) Except fibreglass arch of the Coaster ISO 9650. NEW
New container: design and modernity
1 The Zodiac life rafts are all fitted with a new container. The strong points: ? A more modern design, to fit in with that of your boat.? A lower profile, more adaptable to all kinds of boats.? A variable bearing system that adapts to your storage system.? Top-of-the-range finishings.? Extraordinarily robust.
Automatic inflation in only 22 seconds
(2) To inflate a Zodiac life raft pull the full length of the painter line and then give a firm tug to fire the CO
2 cylinder. The pressure from the inflating life raft automaticallyopens the canister allowing the gas to inflate the 2 buoyancy tubes and arch
(3) . About twenty seconds is all it takes for the life raft to take shape and be ready for use.
(2) Inflation performed in about 22 seconds, at a 20°C/68°F temperature. (3) Except fibreglass arch of the Coaster ISO 9650.
