Don't Leave Home Without it!


Saint Augustine Catamaran Center Service Update!

They are not necessarily pretty, not a fun expense and or water toy, but when things go to crap, nice to have one and one that works. Though Catamarans are one of the safest vessels on the water today and have buoyancy built in the concept and construction there is no better insurance than having a quality life raft aboard.

Saint Augustine Catamaran Center via it’s service organization SouthEast Sailing and Yachts is an authorized sales center for Viking Life Rafts. These rafts are ISO 9650-1 certified, ISAF approved and third party verified by Bureau Veritas and Det Norske Veritas.

New Features for 2010

The fluorescent yellow canopy enhances visibility from a distance, and is easier seen in bad weather and foggy conditions. Fluorescent yellow is chosen as it is a great contrast colour to grey and dark blue - the colours of the sea. The material is further certified according to the High Visibility Norm EN471 for traffic visibility.

Two windows with curtains provide a view of the horizon which minimizes seasickness. Further, windows enhance the chance of survival as users can look out in search of rescuers without opening the liferaft and risking cooling down.

The blue inner lining calms and reduces seasickness. It is required for SOLAS liferafts and is transferred to this liferaft to enhance comfort.

The improved RescYou™ Pro has a handle placed above the boarding ramp to facilitate easy and quick boarding.
