The first four flood relief boats have been delivered to the London Fire Brigade.The FRB 390s are a result of months of collaboration between Morton Boats,TK Marine Associates and the Fire service. The boats may look like a standard Fun Yak 3.90 but have been modified to take up to 10 people, given extra strength ropes and handles for easy 6 man handling and high visibility stripes are added for night time recognition.
As seen from the photos one of the advantages of the 390 is the unique stacking system, it is thought they will be in stacks of three so as to aid quick deployment and alleviate storage problems.
A total of twenty boats have been ordered, the remaining sixteen will follow towards the end of March.

Good day! We are a newly formed volunteer rescue team from the Philippines. We plan to provide rescue in swiftwater, flood, and beach settings. We are anticipating funding and are looking for a rotomoulded boat that will suit our needs. Can this boat perform in all three conditions? Thank you.
