Image SurfBoatGoingTroughBreak.jpg thumb right 300px Surf boat passing a Ocean surface wave breaker . In surf lifesaving , long boats , called surf boat s , while no longer used for rescues, remain one of the most popular events at Surf carnival surf lifesaving carnivals . The boats weigh between 180 and 250 kilograms and are crewed by four rowers and a sweep. Operation Positions The positions in the boat are as follows Bow 1 the position nearest the bow front of the boat. Often regarded as the most dangerous of the positions. Second Bow 2 the next nearest the bow, their oar is on the opposite side to the bow rower s and these two rowers comprise the bow pair. Second Stroke 3 the next seat away from the bow and probably the seat closest to the centre of the boat, their main role is to stabilise the boat. Their oar is on the same side of the boat as the bow rower. Stroke 4 the seat closest to the stern back of the boat and the rower responsible for setting the speed and timing of the crew s rowing stroke. They combine with Second Stroke to make up the stern pair and their oar is on the same side as that of Second Bow. Sweep the person usually man in charge of steering the boat and, as they re the only one who can see what s ahead, they generally call the shots on the water. They also frequently double as the crew s coach. Racing The boats race by rowing out to a marker buoy placed several hundred metres offshore, turning around it and returning to shore as quickly as possible. Boats work to avoid crashing through waves on the way out as they seriously slow progress, but aim to catch a wave as early as possible on the way back as this is the fastest method of travel for a boat. The surf factor is where things get interesting as boats slew sideways, roll, crash into each other, have sweeps and rowers thrown int ... more details
Crash RescueBoat is a name used in the USA to describe military high speed offshore rescue boats, similar in size and performance to Motor Torpedo Boat s, used to rescue pilots and aircrews of crashed aircraft . During World War II these rescue boats, armed with light anti aircraft guns for self defense, saw extensive services with the British Royal Air Force and United States Army Air Forces . UK From its inception the RAF had seaplane tenders that were used for rescues, but these were really only designed for refueling and rearming the seaplanes in service with the RAF. Development of a purpose built boat for rescue began in 1932 with the 200 Class seaplane tenders, followed by the 100 Class ASR Air Sea Rescue boats which entered service in 1940. ref name raf1 cite web url http www.raf.mod.uk history old sar601.html title The origins of Air Sea Rescue date 2009 publisher http www.raf.mod.uk Royal Air Force ref Perhaps the best known 100 Class boats were the British Power Boat Company Type Two 63 ft HSL , also known as the Whaleback after their distinctive design. Even after the introduction of rescue helicopter s in 1953 the RAF continued to operate a fleet of Rescue Target Towing Launches, the last of which were not retired until 1986. USA The USAAF used 140 such 85 foot vessels in WWII, designed by Dair N Long in 1944. The last of these boats has been restored by the AAF USAF Crash RescueBoat Association, a non profit organization with the goal to preserve it for future generations. It is now owned by the West Coast Crash RescueBoat Association. These boats were also used during the Korean War , but were superseded by other boats, PBY Catalina s and other aircraft such as the 1946 purpose built Sikorsky S 51 civilian H 5 USAAF H03S USN helicopters.
