AVON
OCEAN LIFERAFTS
Ocean Liferaft
4 Man 6 Man 8 Man
Designed for Ocean going vessels, these Liferafts include
the longest Liferaft survival in history - an amazing 117 days.
The Avon standard
Ocean-going liferaft has many features, including vacuum packing for extra
stowed protection, more internal headroom, easier boarding, greater night time
visibility, and a new weighted ladder.
Avon Ocean Liferafts - MADE FOR SAFETY
The buoyancy tubes are made of tough
heavy-duty nylon, calendered with a specially formulated neoprene, for maximum
air retention and resistance to weathering. Each of the two independent buoyancy
tubes is capable of supporting the full complement the raft has been designed
for, whilst retaining the full floor area. The standard inflatable double floor
helps to retain body heat in cold waters.
