Recent years nave seen a substantial growth in the professional use of Rigid Hulled Inflatable boats pioneered and commercially developed by Avon , whose Searider range of inboard and outboard engined craft can handle any inshore or offshore task. Their manoeuvrability and performance are very hard to equal.
The inflatable buoyancy collar manufactured from Avon s proven heavy duty Hypalon*/ Neoprene fabric, and reinforced with extruded rubbing strakes fitted to a heavy duty deep V glass fibre hull, enables Seariders to operate in the most difficult conditions. Searider craft are in service with the Royal Navy, U.S. Navy, plus other leading forces. U.K. and U.S. Coastguard units, police and law enforcement units and Fishery Protection Divisions have all selected Avon Searider craft.
