Towing a fully laden 50 pax life raft with a Rescuerunner

 

We tried towing a fully laden 50 pax life raft as part of the yearly Stena Jutlandica MES-exercise. In-harbor conditions, but anyways: no problemo!

The biggest commercially available davit launch rafts max out at 39 pax, but there are 50 pax versions on the drawing board.
