This Winslow 40SLRR2 4 Place Life Raft is one of the lightest liferafts on the market.
I have had three ballast bags installed on this liferaft to add stability in rough seas and slow your drift rate..
Stability is enhanced with the industry leading Tri-Stable Ballast System™, which provides three deep, boxy ballast containers equally spaced around the perimeter of the life raft affording exceptional stability. The Tri-Stable Ballast System™ is the most advanced and effective ballast system available on any FAA approved Type II or non- approved GA life raft. The Aviation Consumer gave the WINSLOW Tri-Stable Ballast System™ the highest rating for life rafts in its class.
The Winslow RescueRaft2 is an enhanced version over the basic platform raft, the Winslow RescueRaft.
The enhancement comes in the form of twin safety air chambers built into the oversized single buoyancy tube design for added safety. This feature provides air chamber redundancy offering better protection against hypothermia and drowning.
Other standard features include a primary boarding station, water activated exterior survivor locator light, auto deploying conical drogue and one inch lifelines.
While not intended for far offshore, the Winslow RescueRaft2 provides a means of increasing your target size and getting survivors off of the downed aircraft, keeping them out of the water to help prevent hypothermia and drowning.
