platform the crews are working from. Improved features
included touch screen electronic navigation and a much
larger workspace and glassed cockpit which gives greater
shelter to the work area, making it warmer and dryer.
The view from the cockpit is a huge improvement on the
old Hibiscus Rescue One. Added to this, with the increased
power the twin 250hp four-stroke engines give, the crew
have a far more powerful, controlled, ride, compared to the
pair of 150's on their old Hibiscus Rescue One. Onboard
comfort and safety have been improved with the addition
of four high back crew stations where the base seats can be
dropped for leg bracing with kidney and back support, in
rough weather.
Hibiscus Rescue One (mark two!) joined Naiads from
two other Coastguard operations: Maraetai and Auckland
in the south, giving Coastguard an interchangeable fleet
for training and operations that now cover most of the
Hauraki Gulf.
With features specifically designed for conditions the
crews are likely to encounter on the Gulf, Coastguard's
interchangeable Naiads mean that the three operations
can cover one another. They now have the backup and
support of almost identical vessels, and skipper and crew
training can now be done on any one of the three 9.5m
boats, with the skills learned being easily transferable to
■
their own home craft.
