Listening to our seagoing friends and customers is central to our approach, and it’s out of such conversations that innovations like the RP500+ evolve. One of the most challenging parts of any recovery from the water is boarding. Speed is essential. Rope ladders onto boats are difficult to climb. The RP500+ makes boarding safer and easier for everyone. The RP500+ is designed to give the MOB a stable platform to get out of the water until a boat is alongside you for rescue. At this point the RP500+ can be attached to the boat so the MOB can quickly, safely and easily board the vessel using the inflatable boarding ladder.
