Waypoint Liferafts Technical Information

Technical specification of our Liferafs

	Solas approved natural rubber fabric, which is very strong and flexible, in comparison for example to PVC which is hard and brittle in cold temperatures and very soft under sunlight and heat.
	Solas approved (orange) high visibility nylon fabric canopy.
	International standard p approved cylinder.
	High-spec Leafield pressure relief valves.
	On the ISO 9650-1 we use exclusively Leafield valves throughout and the Leafield firing head directly injecting air into the tubes without any hoses, thus eliminating the risk of a leak even more, making the whole inflation system even safer.
	Four large water pockets (60 litres each and 75litres each on the ISO models) that make the liferaft a steady platform to board and also keep it stable in severe weather conditions.
	Automatic light inside but also outside - especially useful if you're plunged into darkness at night. ( On the ISO models, these lights are Solas approved )
	Solas approved reflective tape on all sides of the canopy as it will make it easier for the rescue operations to locate your raft in the dark.
	Outlook window, so you can have a 360 vision at all times.
	Insulating floor is standard on all models as is an air-circulating window. So if you do have the occasion to find that you have to take shelter in a Waypoint Liferaft, all of these features will make your stay more comfortable, but also safer.
	A self-inflating boarding ramp and a two-step ladder makes each Waypoint Offshore and ISO 9650-1 Liferaft easy to board from the water. The entrance is large but also has a safe closure, and the provided handles on the inside aid your entry.
	The entry on the ISO 9650-1 models is even larger to facilitate a helicopter pick up and to ensure that it stays closed and watertight, by the use of the heavy duty high quality zips.
	A rainwater collection system with spare water collection bags (as you need to collect the maximum amount when it rains),
	Comprehensive RORC safety package.
	The Safety package for the ISO 9650-1 models complies and exceeds the ISO regulations as it includes water (½ litre per person) and extra flares.
	Safety packages supplied in vacuum bags inside each raft. This ensures that the contents remain all together and dry. Extremely vital for your protection.
	Each raft is vacuum packed to ensure that it is kept dry and well maintained for the time in between its service intervals. Salt water is very hostile to its close neighbours.

All Waypoint Offshore and ISO 9650-1 Liferafts come in either a bright visible valise or a strong and polished canister and weigh between 26kg for a 4-man liferaft in a valise to 60kg for a 14-man liferaft in a canister.

For your peace of mind ALL of our models come with a 12 year limited guarantee* and a 3 year servicing interval.

*Servicing must be carried out every three years at an approved Waypoint service station for the guarantee to be validated.
