The Rescueboard is minimal, battery powered  vessel for short range rescue and assistance on most types of waters. It's under development as an in-house project.

The Rescueboard project is the result of more then a decade of designing, developing, prototyping and testing small rescue boats, rescue equipment and systems for the Swedish Sea Rescue Society, Sjöräddningssällskapet.

Prototyping is key to getting the most out of the product. Right now testing and modifications are under way on prototype platform #2, while prototype #3, including a production candidate rim-driven, shaft-less propulsor is under development. Follow the work on the Rescueboard blog!
