Similar boats are being used by the Rescue Centre at the Auckland International Airport. The RU540 hull shape is designed for optimum performance, in a range of sea states. It is intended for operation where sea keeping, stability and safety are combined with the need for speed, reliability and durability. Lancer has a history of creating boats that meet the rigours of commercial work and defence. Lancer has received one of the few coveted design award given annually by the New Zealand Industrial Design Council for such work. The boat is highly suited for use in coastal protection, emergency response, as well as general diving, reconnaissance and transportation. It is also suitable for assistance in an emergency as a standby vessel or rescue boat Principal Dimensions Length Overall: 5.46m Beam Overall: 2.08m Internal Length: 4.36m Internal Beam: 1.18m Tube Diameter (at transom): 0.45m Moulded Draft: 0.34m Chambers Bare Boat Weight: 700Kg Max Load: 1,410Kgs Max Persons: depends on configuration up to 9 persons Dead Rise: 23 degrees Indicative Speed Indicative speed will vary depending on layout and power options. The below figures are indicative only. The hull rises to the plane easily around 9-15 knots, and cruises comfortably at 20+ knots in sea state 3 Power Plant 1 x 40hp Outboard 1 x 70hp Outboard 1 x 115hp Outboard 2 x 40hp Outboard Payload (Kgs) 400 400 500 500 Speed (knots) 20 30 40 30 Hump Speed (Knots) 9 13 10 14 11 15 10 15 Sea State 2 2 1 2 Sea Condition Page 1 of 6
Operational in shallow water 0.7m with moulded draft 0.45m. The boat is capable of high speeds, in sea states up to sea states 3 4 and fully seaworthy at planning speeds in Sea State 5 6 Range Dependent on engine configuration. Typical minimum range 200Nm at 20 knots with 5% fuel reserve remaining. Manoeuvrability Turns within a radius of six boat lengths when proceeding at 50% of engine continuous RPM and within twelve boat lengths when proceeding at 100% of engine continuous RPM. When going astern, turns within 4 boat lengths, with engines at 25% of continuous RPM. (Subject to variation depending on outboard selection) General Layout The hull is a degree deep vee, hard chine planning form with a fine entry and 23 degree dead rise at the stern. The hull is stable in static and dynamic modes. The entire boat drains to a small bilge at the rear. The internal hull configuration enables major components such as Fuel Tanks, Steering Consoles, and seating to be customised in a number of positions. Hull Construction The standard hull is an aluminium structure incorporating bi-axial reinforcement. Hull is constructed form 4mm 5085 grade aluminium. The main forward and aft girders run the full length and are 6mm 5085 grade aluminium. The finish is bare aluminium unless specified too the contrary The girder / floor system increases torsional strength and creates a flat work/mounting surface. The transom is reinforced by struts and by aluminium engine well. A highly advanced composite hull is available which offers weights reductions with no loss of strength. Hull Hardware Various layouts are available. Std Police Layout is straddle seating for 6 passengers including helmsman. Awnings A range of bimini and canopy sizes are available Fuel Tank The standard fuel tank is a heavy weight 110 litre fuel tank. The tank includes fuel lines sender, filling points and an inspection hatch. Larger capacity fuel tanks or plastic tanks available on request Deck Fittings Bollard and towing post can be fitted at the bow or stern, for towing or mooring. Depending on configuration deck hatches will give access to bilges or storage. Towing Eves will be fitted to the bow and transom. Tubes Tubes are divided into 5 compartments. Various colours and fabric weights available. The tubes are made from nylon fabric coated with DuPont Hypalon. Heavy weight (1500gsm) or standard weight (1300gsm). This fabric is made exclusively, for Lancer, and has the highest resistance to abrasion, harsh sunlight, ozone and ultra violet rays of any fabric available for inflatable craft. All fabrication of the Hypalon fabric is to be done in Lancer s 20,000sq ft purpose built plant, in atmospherically controlled conditions against time controls. Seams are cold bond, with neoprene based two part adhesive. The strength of the seams used in crafting the tube exceeds the strength of the fabric. Construction standards exceed ISO 6185 inflatable boats. All seams are jointed and taped internally and externally. All compartments are fitted with corrosion proof valves with a double-seal closure. A Neoprene rubber rubbing strake fitted around the boat which has high abrasion resistance. (Rubber rubbing strakes) can be provided if required. Tube fittings All fittings are fabricated from Hypalon fabric, nylon, polyester and where required stainless steel. Fittings are attached in such a way that if they are torn off it will not affect the integrity of the tube. Standard fittings are: Port and starboard external life lines 2x external handholds 2x D rings at bow 2x Paddle retainers 1x Painter retainer Engine The RU540 hulls designed to operate effectively with either Inboard diesel engine Page 2 of 6

Many boats are being stored outside for periods of over 10 years. No significant deterioration is noticeable Support Services Marine Certification The RU540 has undergone rigorous testing to meet Germanisher Lloyd International certification for military use. The boat is built to ISO9001 and ISO6184 standards. Other certifications available by arrangement. Training The boat is relatively simple to operate, but it is recognised that efficient handling in a crisis depends on competent operators where required Lancer can provide specialised training Operating, Maintenance and Repair Manuals A detailed operating, maintenance and repair manual will be provided to cover all aspects of the boat. Warranty and Service Life The boat has an effective life of over ten years if maintained properly. For planning purposes it is recommended that the service life should be based on fifteen years.
