The Ocean Sprint 7m SOLAS approved twin outboard fast rescue boats are rated
under the SOLAS regulations for a capacity of six persons. This refers to
the hoisting weight meaning that the boat can be hoisted with six persons on
board. They meet the speed requirements of 20 knots with two persons or 6
knots with six persons fully loaded with engine, have seating for six persons
including room for one
person lying down.
General Arrangement
The
rigid hull, deck and transom are fabricated with an infused resin construction
method using "E" glass and vinyl ester resins with all cores of PVC foam
(no organic materials used).
The deck has a molded-in water tight bow locker with a flush
fitting hatch.
The
deck is non-skidded.
Below
deck cable routing.
The
craft have a full-height transom which provides a high degree of structural
strength.
The removable five chamber collar is shaped by template exactly to fit the
curves of the boat in both the horizontal plane and in the sheer of the boat.
The collar has a built-in bolt rope system. The bolt rope slides into a
track system built into the boat. The fore and transom ends of the tube are
secured with fabric straps.
Each chamber
is provided with an inflation / deflation valve and a relief valve.
The collar
has a full length lifeline on D-ring patches, a full length rub strake which
provides wear protection and two boat paddles with storage patches.
The collar material
is a Hypalon/Neoprene coated polyester with a 1470 GSM and a 1670 decitex. GSM is grams per square meter and it
measures weight per area. Decitex of material is how tightly the
material is woven. The denser the material the more puncture resistant it
is. The material that Otech uses has a 10 x 10 weave. This determines the
strength of the polyester fabric sandwiched between the Hypalon and the neoprene
back sheet.
Seating is
provided for six persons. Two persons are seated on the engine hatch, two
are seated behind the helmsman, the helmsman is seated aft of the console and
the sixth person is laying down on the foredeck or seated on the forward locker.
The craft
are
hoisted using a single lift point frame located astride the engine hatch and/or
a certified lift sling. The rescue craft have four stainless steel lift
points, two forward and two aft, for use with the lift sling.
Additionally, there are
two transom bollards, a bow bollard, a stainless steel bow eye and stainless
steel transom tie-down eyes.
Model
OTSSO070-550-1 - Propulsion is provided with twin, stern mounted SOLAS approved outboard engines.
The maximum horsepower is 180 due to the fact that the 90hp outboard is the
largest SOLAS approved outboard available.
Two types of
steering systems are available - mechanical and hydraulic. (Note: The
mechanical system is not used on the I/O models.) If the steering fails, an
emergency tiller is located in the rear storage compartment.
The fuel
system has a permanently mounted forty-six U.S. gallon fuel tank that is located
beneath the forward deck. The tank is equipped with a fuel gauge, fill fitting
and cap, vent hose and fitting, engine supply, return hoses and fitting.
The supply fitting has a fuel shut-off valve. The vent line is equipped
with a check valve to prevent fuel spillage. A Racor filter/water
separator is inline between the tanks and the engine. The engine is also
equipped with an engine manufacturer's fuel filter. The fuel gauge is
located by the fuel shut-off valve underneath the aft inspection port on the
foredeck.
The
electrical system is a dual 12-volt DC battery rechargeable system. The boat has
two outfitting positions that affect the location of the electrical system
components. Option one is a center
console with an aft storage box where the batteries are located under the aft
storage box. Option two is inline seating where the batteries are located in the
forward part of the engine compartment. It has a battery selector switch and breaker panel. The
searchlight, charging receptacle and navigation light switches are located by
the helmsman's station. Recharging the battery is accomplished by plugging
a shipboard charger into the searchlight receptacle. The charger may not
exceed 12 volts DC and 10 amps. A VHF marine radio is located at the
helmsman's station.
The craft
are equipped with a 2.5 pounds (1.15kg) dry chemical fire extinguisher stowed on
the starboard side of the console.
Water is removed from the deck by the transom mounted self-draining scuppers
while underway. The drains are fitted with flexible babbles to prevent the
back flow of water into the boat when reversing or by a following sea. The
auto hull drain plug is located on the aft port side of the transom. A
safety plug is provided and is located under the port aft inspection plate.
The craft
are
equipped with a quick release torsional snap shackle mounted to the bow plate
U-bolt. A releasing lanyard is attached to the shackle.
The craft
are
equipped with a self-righting unit to right the craft in an emergency situation.
The system consists of an arch, an inflatable bag and pressurized cylinder
equipped with a tripper.
The
fast rescue craft are available in International Orange only as it is a SOLAS
requirement.
A collar
repair kit, an operator's manual and shipping preparation and packaging are
included.
The craft
have a five year
limited hull warranty.
