Rescuerunner

Rescuerunner is the name of a personal water craft designed by the Swedish Sea Rescue Society (SSRS).

It was developed for use under conditions where larger vessels can't easily operate, such as shallow waters, near cliffs or lakes where boats have to be carried over on land. They're normally operated by one person. The first prototype was tested in 2003, and the first six series-production vessels were made the following year. A Rescuerunner weighs about 350 kilograms. The project was continued by the company Safe at Sea AB in 2006.

The vessel was featured on a Swedish postage stamp in 2007, part of a series of three stamps commemorating the 100th anniversary of SSRS.
