Self-Righting Boat
boats | engineering | marine
In most cases, if a boat lists enough to capsize, there’s no turning back. But Taiwan’s Lungteh Shipbuilding is testing a boat that can right itself even if it flips upside-down. Built for Hong Kong’s fire service, the boat can roll and return to an even keel in 6 to 10 seconds. There are smaller self-righting vessels, but Fire Boat 12 is the largest yet.
