ABSTRACT:
An inflatable rescue pontoon for performing multiple water rescue operations comprises an elongate shell having a plurality of longitudinally extending individual sections. The plurality of individual sections includes a bow section. The bow section is the forwardmost individual section and is hydrodynamically shaped to enhance maneuverability of the pontoon in water. Valve means communicate with the shell for selectively inflating and deflating the pontoon.
