Colwick Park Lifeguards operates and maintains a fleet of several boats that we operate at events year round. From smaller inflatable rigid boats, which are easily transported, to larger rigid inflatable boats, or Pirannah Dory’s, we have a range of safety boats to suit the needs and requirements of any site.
All boats, engines, trailers and ancillaries are serviced annually, and tested daily while in operation to ensure that our equipment works when it matters most.
Possibly our most versatile boats, RIBs can reliably tackle a wide range of conditions, while providing a very stable platform to perform rescues from, and capacity for many casualties.
Our smaller inflatable boats are especially suited to smaller lakes and festival sites, they are easy to transport across sites and can be launched without a slipway. They can also operate in shallower waters, and can be rowed if deployed to an area where an outboard engine would not be suitable.
These are solid hulled boats with a large open deck. They provide ample room for treating a casualty on scene, and even have enough space to lie a spinal board flat.
Our 4×4 Mitsubishi L200, and other vehicles are not only used to tow and launch our rescue boats, but is also used as a base at events where our lifeguards operate from the land too. The easily recognisable truck provides a point of contact for members of the public and can be set up as a lifeguarding position and first aid point.
