Specialist Small Craft supplies Kontra R450CC to Southampton lifeboat service
Wiltshire-based Specialist Small Craft has supplied a Kontra R450CC rescue boat to the newly formed Southampton Independent Lifeboat service.
Williams Marine and Watersports Ltd, based in Southampton, have been appointed UK and Ireland sole importer and distributor for Swedish-designed Agapi RIBs. These boats are a combination of a conventional open RIB and a modern sports cruiser, offering a protected helm and cockpit area along with a forward cabin that can sleep up to four people.
Agapi have sold over 100 boats worldwide and have now introduced their two models (8m and 10m) into the UK market. These boats can be used all year round by virtue of a specially designed canvas system with cockpit and cabin heating.
The lightweight construction is designed with seaworthiness and ease of handling in mind along with enhanced fuel efficiency. The boats can also easily be towed on a trailer.
Another benefit of owning an Agapi RIB is automatic membership of the Agapi Club, which gives access to club boats in Mallorca, Helsinki, Stockholm and Gothenburg.
