Braking System:
Sensotronic Brake Control, is an electrohydraulic braking system designed
to reduce the vessel's stopping distance by optimising the brake force
distribution between the paddles. Sensor-controlled intermittent drying
of the paddles makes for a faster braking response in the wet, ensuring
that the vessel always comes to a standstill before hitting the beach.
Safety:
In the event of a sinking or roll-over, the vessel's occupants are protected
by the high-buoyancy frame of the hull. The Navy has practiced controlled
sinking manoevers in various conditions and all Sailors are familiar
with the Navy's emergency sinking drill.
Comfort:
Space onboard is scarce. Designed as an 18-seater, the vessel's interior
dimensions are exceptionally sparse.
