Sounds like an easy thing but actually as with anything to do with boats it is not. We started by taking apart a stretcher (see above) which had runners on it allowing it to be used on snow. Tommy then cut it apart and rewelded it together into a back board (allowing us to immobilise a patient with a potential c-spine injury) that fits through the jet boat door and also fits into the pulk that is used for transport on scree, snow and on the RIB from the beach. <\/p>\n<p>Below is Tommy with the finished product &#8211; I added 8 handles which I sewed on made of ABS plumbing pipe and climbing webbing to allow the backboard to be easily picked up. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.racingyachtmanagement.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/new.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.racingyachtmanagement.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/new.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"new\" width=\"336\" height=\"448\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2478 colorbox-2454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.racingyachtmanagement.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/new.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.racingyachtmanagement.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/new-224x300.jpg 224w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 336px) 100vw, 336px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week I spent a lot of time designing a SAR unit to allow us to pick up an injured patient by boat and get them back to base in a stretcher inside the cab of the jet boat.
