Raft adapted for use as a water rescue or recovery litter

摘要

The raft has a body section large enough to support one or more persons. Pontoons extend along opposite sides of the body section, and a rigid frame connects the body section and pontoons together. The body section has a flat horizontal upper surface adapted to support a person. The body section is of substantial thickness and has opposite sides disposed in confronting relation to the pontoons, cooperating therewith to provide longitudinally extending slots for the free flow of water therethrough when the raft is pulled lengthwise through the water, thereby reducing any tendency of the raft to fishtail. The body section and pontoons are preferably formed of a plastic material which is hard, tough and shock resistant on its surfaces.
