Avon SR7.4M Outboard Searider

Avon SR6.4M Inboard Diesel Searider

Avon SR6.4M Outboard Searider

The Searider 760 has been developed for professional operators who require a quality RIB but do not have the budget or need for a craft that is built to withstand air dropping or other specialised operations. The layout of the Searider 760 enables a range of seating and equipment stowage's to be fitted. The clear deck with engines mounted outboard gives ample space for snag free recovery of nets, stowage of pumps or diving equipment. The hull design has been developed to operate safely in heavy sea conditions with light or heavy loads. The 760 offers many of the quality features of 6.4m, 7.4m and 8.4 m Seariders but at a price that makes them affordable to Police, Fire Departments and other Professional users.

A craft approved by the Marine Coastguard Agency as a 15 man fast rescue boat for stand-by vessels. This boat is in operation in many areas of the North Sea. Self-righting, water resistant electrical system and water resistant switches are fitted as standard.

Built for twin outboard engine installation where reliability is a deciding factor. This 15 man craft is in use with the United States Coast Guards. The reinforced inflation tube is designed to withstand heavy abrasion and the strong davit lifting points ensure easy on-board stowage.

The Avon 5.4m Searider is in service with the worlds leading Navies and Commercial operators. The Avon Searider has been specified because of the crafts excellent sea keeping, light all up weight to fit on ships with limited davit capacity and because of its compact size making on deck stowage trouble-free. The supply and stowage of petrol for outboard engines on some classes of ships is now proving a challenge. To overcome this Avon has developed a version of the 5.4m Searider fitted with an inboard diesel engine. The Searider 5.4m inboard diesel version can replace an outboard Searider stowed on ship in minutes as the overall weight and stowage arrangements are similar to the outboard craft eliminating the high cost of replacing davits, stowage cradles and handling equipment.

A development of the craft produced for the Royal Navy and other commercial operators incorporating lights mounted on a removable 'A' frame or stainless mast and a water resistant electrical and control switch system. This craft is ideal as a high speed boarding boat for fishery protection duties or as a Navy ship-to-shore craft.

Developed with the leading U.K. stand-by operators and complying with the Marine Coastguard Agencies requirements for rescue boats for stand-by vessels. This craft is fitted with self-righting and a water resistant electrical system. The craft is in use with many of the world's leading offshore supply and oil companies where severe operating conditions require the highest specifications and construction standards.

Designed as a general purpose rescue boat and built to a tough commercial specification. This craft will withstand the impact of coming along side ship and barnacle encrusted legs of oil rigs. The deep 'V' hull shape with finely developed chines gives unequalled performance, whatever the load, in the roughest of seas. The water ballast system adds stability when the craft is stationary for loading, disembarking, when recovering a person or during diving operations.

The SR4.7M length ensures easy deck stowage on board small patrol and fishing protection vessels, but the craft is easy to launch from shore as a high speed rescue craft. Specially equipped versions are available for law enforcement, rescue and shipboard operations. Rigid hulled inflatable craft are used worldwide by Military and Commercial operators including the Royal Navy. The Avon SR4.7M Searider has a deep 'V' seagoing hull, with a robust reinforced inflatable buoyancy collar, enabling this craft to operate in the most difficult conditions.

The SR4M is the smallest in the Searider range. Recent years have seen a substantial growth in the use of rigid hulled inflatables pioneered and commercially developed by Avon to handle any inshore or offshore task. Their manoeuvrability and performance are very hard to equal. Their inflatable buoyancy and deep 'V' seagoing hull easily enables Seariders to operate in the most difficult conditions.
