RC Rescue Boat (Feb 2018)

This RC Model Rescue Boat was designed to recover other model boats that are stranded in the middle of a lake or in weed. It has two methods of recovery, a foldaway boom at the bow which collects the stranded boat and guides it home and alternatively, a tow line which entangles the wreck and allows it to be towed. (The winch is designed to spread the cable across the drum.)
The rescue vessel has low draft and two powerful motors with enclosed props - which make it very manoeverable and with no rudder, it is less likely to get entagled in weed or cable.
The programmable lights on the roof were just a bit of fun. Rumours that it can play the Thunderbirds theme music as it sets off are not confirmed.
