Viking 6 Man ISO 9650-2 RescYou Coastal Life Raft

Viking's 6 Man RescYou ISO 9650-2 standard life raft is the perfect life raft for coastal cruising, inland sailing and sport fishing. The Viking life raft exceeds requirements for ISO 9650-2 approval and features an array of features including an automatically inflating canopy, innovating boarding ramp and a full complement of SOLAS flares. Four 55L ballast bags keep the 6-man life raft stable in the water and help to prevent capsizing in very heavy seas.

An ISO 9650-2 coastal emergency pack is included, containing equipment covering all basic needs for coastal cruising and sailing near rescue points.

Key Features:

Automatically inflating canopy saves precious time and effort pumping up the roof - a feature not required by ISO-2, but important for conserving energy and finding shelter fast.
Extra large, sturdy zipper closures are designed to be easy to use even when hands are very cold and dexterity is reduced.
Internal and external lifelines.
Large ballast bags keep the liferaft stable in the water, helping to prevent capsize in very heavy seas.
Large sea anchor provides great anchorage to prevent drifting, making it easier for search and rescue to locate the liferaft.
Rigid boarding ramp that provides easy access from the water, minimizing the risk of hypothermia. 
Two openings: one large, one small providing cross ventilation and view of the horizon.
