When first introduced, this model was promoted as being 'unsinkable'. It was built with a number of strategically placed cavities filled with foam throughout the interior. To prove the claim, a number of tests were conducted, where the boat was completely flooded, after which it not only remained afloat, but still manoeuvrable.
