Who builds the orange plastic boats used as rescue boats at most watersports centres ?

i think you are reffering to a boat called the Jeanneau rigiflex newmatic made by Jeanneau which is a french company





http://www.cherbourg-jeanneau-boat-selle鈥?/a>|||Depends on the application. What is the name of the craft? On our tugboat which is a SOLAS approved boat, we have a SOLAS rescue boat. SOLAS stands for Safety Of Life At Sea. SOLAS was designed as sort of a universal Coast Guard, if you've ever delt with the Coast Guard you know that every station has different rules. What one Station might think is best, the other one might think otherwise. So SOLAS was invented to give certain guidelines for the world to follow. SOLAS equipment is not cheap by anymeans. Our rescue boat as with most SOLAS approved equipment is not made in America. Our rescue boat was made by Norsafe, a company out of Norway and the only place to get parts for it is to order them from Norway. I belive the boat cost somewhere around 20,000 for our 16 ft. Craft. Hope this Helps.|||These are made by Zodiac|||AVON? they make alot of boats.
