An inflatable rescue boat (IRB), also sometimes called an inflatable rescue craft, is a type of inflatable boat specifically designed for use in search and rescue operations at sea. They are widely used by professional lifeguards, search and rescue teams,
IRBs are typically constructed from a high-durability fabric, such as Hypalon, that is resistant to punctures and abrasions. They are designed to be inflated rapidly using a compressed air canister, allowing for quick deployment in emergency situations. Unlike rigid-hulled rescue boats, IRBs can be deflated and stored compactly when not in use, making them a valuable option for situations where space is limited.
IRBs are typically equipped with a number of features that make them well-suited for search and rescue operations, including:
A powerful outboard motor that allows the boat to reach high speeds and maneuver effectively in rough water conditions.
A rigid inflatable keel (RIB) that provides stability and improved handling.
A self-draining deck that allows water to drain quickly from the boat.
Flotation collars that keep the boat afloat even if it is punctured.
Navigation and communication equipment, such as GPS, radios, and spotlights.
First aid kits and other emergency supplies.
IRBs are a valuable tool for search and rescue teams because they are:
Portable and easy to deploy: Because they can be deflated and stored compactly, IRBs can be easily transported and deployed from a variety of vehicles, including trailers, beaches, and even other vessels.
Durable: IRBs are constructed from high-strength materials that can withstand harsh weather conditions and rough seas.
Maneuverable: The inflatable design and powerful outboard motor allow IRBs to maneuver effectively in tight spaces and rough water.
Fast: IRBs can reach high speeds, allowing rescue teams to reach those in need quickly.
While IRBs are a valuable tool for search and rescue, it is important to note that they are not without limitations. For example, IRBs can be more difficult to operate in rough seas than rigid-hulled boats, and they may not be as stable when carrying a large number of people. Additionally, IRBs can be more expensive than some other types of rescue boats.
