We’ve released a new video following the build of a Rescue 1700 Search & Rescue boat project from start to finish. The film takes you through key work stages and shows what building a boat at Kewatec really looks like: the people, the know-how, and the details that make the vessel come together.
You’ll also hear from our founder, Karl-Erik Wargh, on what has guided Kewatec from the beginning. Be honest, design with purpose, and deliver what we promise.
Two Rescue 1700 vessels were delivered 14 months after contract signing. Kewatec is currently building additional sister boats for other Rescue 1700 fleets as well, each tailored to the customer on the same proven design.
The specifications of the boat featured in the film are below:
LOA 17.7 m
BOA 4.8 m
2 × Volvo Penta 900 hp
2 × Kongsberg S36 waterjets
Fuel 5000 l
Max speed 38 kn (full tanks)
Range 500 nm
