SAFE
Boats International is a manufacturer of boats for use in a wide
variety of applications including military, law enforcement,
commercial, and pleasure. They have designed and are currently
building one of the largest Response Boat fleets ever to been
procured by the United States Coast Guard.
This larger Arch Angel enclosed cabin model - is based upon both the
successful Response Boat Small program for the USCG and the United
States Marine Corp Small Unit Riverine Craft (SURC) program. The
boat was designed as a highly maneuverable, rapidly deployable,
high-speed patrol craft for coastal patrol, littoral and riverine
environments with an open ocean capability. With expanded range,
advanced sea keeping ability (provided by an Patented, high-strength
solid cell polyethylene foam collar that provides stability,
redundant buoyancy, and small-arms ballistic protection), the Arch
Angel was designed to cover a broad operational environment (Air
temperature from 20 to 125 degrees F in fresh, salt, and brackish
water temperatures ranging from 33 to 95 degrees F, Fully
operational up to Sea State 3) as well as support sustained
operations and harbor patrol. Overhead spotter windows; Port &
Starboard sliding side doors provide exceptional visibility and
enhance communication, air circulation and provide multiple points
(4) of ingress/egress. The cabin also has large easily accessible
stowage areas and V-berths forward for possible extended patrols.
