On the same website is given, the Rescue runner is a minimal but powerful rescue boat. It’s rugged enough to operate where other boats can’t. Its is extremely efficient at getting people out of the water. Its small size minimizes risks when boarding in rough weather.

The Rescue runner can operate individually or be carried to emergency by boat, car or helicopter.
