"Many owners of smaller vessels realize that relying on just life preservers does not guarantee adequate protection in the event of a sinking or fire. They may not, however, have sufficient stowage space aboard for a life raft in a valise or a mounting location suitable for a rigid container. Between the alternatives of life vests and a life raft is the Switlik Rescue Pod. The Rescue Pod is a very high quality inflatable flotation platform with canopy that supports four people and offers basic protection from the elements. The compact sizes of its fiberglass container or soft valise allow it to be carried aboard the smallest open sport fishing boat, day cruiser, or sail boat. Although small in packed size, the Rescue Pod is extremely tough and durable, using double-coated 16-oz. per square yard urethane-coated nylon buoyancy chamber materials, double-taped overlap seams, and construction techniques as on Switlik's USCG Approved Life Rafts. The single chamber main buoyancy tube provides 820 lbs. of primary flotation, and the 6 independent compartments of the inflatable canopy offer 210 lbs. of reserve buoyancy and a double layer inflatable canopy design. Upon inflation of the Rescue Pod, the canopy remains furled allowing for easier boarding from either the water or your vessel. Once in the Pod, the occupants can immediately pull the canopy over themselves for protection. The canopy can then be inflated using the oral inflation tubes. To keep the packed size as small as possible and reduce the cost of servicing, the Rescue Pod only contains a hand pump, repair clamps, and a waterproof combination strobe/flashlight. We recommend that you equip a separate "Abandon Ship" bag with additional items appropriate to the area in which you operate your vessel. Five-year warranty when serviced per manufacturer's instructions. Shipped ground only."
