I R B

One of the most spectacular events on the competition calendar, IRB racing is relatively new to Manly Life Saving Club. Our dedicated IRB team members are a vital part of water safety and spend many hours honing their skills.

The aim of Inflatable Rescue Boat (IRB) competition is to:

• Improve the prowess of IRB drivers and crewpersons
• Encourage crews to correctly equip and maintain their IRB and motors for optimum safe performance and reliability for both lifesaving patrol duties and competition.
• Allow crews to demonstrate their techniques and their abilities to perform a rescue.
• Bring crews together to discuss and improve IRB techniques and operations.
• Promote safety awareness techniques for the crew and patients in simulated rescue scenarios.

Our IRBs and engines have all been donated by very generous sponsors including RNC who has provided us with funds for racing engines, educational equipment and team apparel.
