Generally suitable for anyone who is fit and willing enough to row or learn to row & sail a boat. Bookings at the special club rates are now being taken. <br> The price is £15 annual club joining fee for a family, & £10 for an individual living in Pembrokeshire & & £5 for those living outside Pembrokeshire who will not therefore be able to come so regularily. You then pay just £1 per outing. Yes, that is just £1. This is not a typing error! The idea is to give as many people as possible an introduction to this fun opportunity and we at Rudders are going to try and help make that happen for the Gig Association. To book your place, just email us your name, address & telephone contact numbers & you will be informed of the next available outings.
RUD M2B Amphibious Workboat & Ferry/Bridging units available for charter or sale Fully MCA Coded with stability book to 10.2 tons carrying capacity
Two of our amphibs will become available from July 2008
WHAT IS A RUD M2B? Originally costing between £850,000 and £1.2 million each, these amphibious machines are provided with a competent driver/ skipper/ project manager and appropriate work team. In the water, the M2B is powered by three propellers at up to 8 knots. The central propeller rotates 360 degrees thereby also acting as it’s rudder and providing incredible manoeuvrability. With its pontoons unfolded the M2B can carry a payload of an incredible 12 tons on water or up to 7 tons on land. The completely flat deck area provided with the pontoons unfolded measures a staggering 6m x 6m. It also carries its own ramps which allow vehicles (including military tanks!) to drive on and be ferried across a river or flood zone. The ramps can also be configured to allow vehicles to drive over it, thereby forming a temporary bridge for two way traffic.
Each M2B machine can be interlocked to form a longer bridge as required. Via it’s skipper and driver, the M2B can transition from water to rough terrain or road travel instantaneously with it’s side pontoons folded or unfolded. The wheels fully retract into the body (hull) for water travel and in “all terrain” mode, the M2 has a high ground clearance of 0.8m and can climb slopes of up to 31 degrees. APPLICATIONS These amphibious vehicles/ ferries/ bridging systems have already been put into good use in the following commercial environments: Leadership development & teamwork training courses
Flood damage, sea defence & rescue work,
Ferry for vehicles, plant, equipment, animals & people
A great alternative to a multicat, floating platform or self propelled barge
