ASAP Solar Powered Rescue Watercraft

ASAP Solar Powered Rescue Watercraft
Aug-12-13
The ASAP solar-powered watercraft not only costs much less than the traditional water craft—it could also help save a life.

Designer Ross Kemp created the ASAP, which is a design combination of a ski, surfboard and catamaran, during a lifeguard training course. Realizing how difficult it is to tow a body in the water, he created the solar, electric motor-powered paddleboard as way to speed water rescues. The ASAP’s central platform makes it easy to slide a body on board, and the V-shaped catamaran hull will move more easily through choppy waters. The ASAP is able to travel a speed up to 15 miles an hour.

The second prototype of the ASAP has received an award for the Best Startup Business in the UK.

I'd like to see a video demo of the ASAP in action. Looks like a great design.

Hi James,

We are taking the product out to Australia at end of this year to test with the Bondi lifeguards and then want to test with with as many other rescue stations as possible. Let me know if you can help with this.
