Marine Log has posted a story about a new motor surfboat comparable to the 47 footer being developed for the Royal Netherlands Sea Rescue Institution (KNRM). It has got some interesting features including an “Axe” bow, aimed at maintaining higher speeds in rough water, and a digital communications systems for communicating search information directly into its navigation plotter.

Most of the the information is on a video (10m45s) which also provides background info on the KNRM.
