RIVERBOAT WORKS RESCUE CULEBRA FRAME

The Culebra concept is a cataraft that does not need a frame. We introduced this system as an aid to river rescue operations. The frame enables either a simple rowing platform, or a rowing and motor platform. The frame is sturdy enough to allow a 25 hp motor to be connected to this small boat. We have used 25 hp motors on similar sized boats and up run the Colorado at 20,000 cfs through serious rapids We have used 25 hp motors on similar sized boats and up run the Colorado at 20,000 cfs through serious rapids
. Therefore we are reasonably confident in this design. The rescue frame concept will be tested through out 2007 at various locations in the USA by swift water rescue teams. The rescue culebra with rowing frame and with out a rowing frame has been tested in 2004 through 2006. Please email me if you would like more information about the rescue culebra. My email address is on the bottom of each page in this web site. Consider contacting Ron Ferris at River Boat Works
