The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) maintains a fleet of Шаблон:Convert Cape-class motor lifeboats[1] based on a motor lifeboat design used by the United States Coast Guard. In September 2009 the CCG announced plans to add five new lifeboats, bringing the total number of Cape-class lifeboats to 36.

The vessels are staffed by a crew of four, two of whom are rescue specialists.[2][3][4] In spite of its name, the CCGS Cape Roger is a larger patrol vessel, not a Cape-class lifeboat. The CCG also maintains some larger motor lifeboats based on Arun-class lifeboats designed in the United Kingdom. In 2021 a contract was awarded to Ocean Pacific Marine to upgrade the class over a 7 year period.[5]

Design

Cape-class motor lifeboats have displacements of Шаблон:Convert, total lengths of Шаблон:Convert and beams of Шаблон:Convert.[6] Constructed from marine-grade aluminium, ships have draughts of Шаблон:Convert. They contain two Caterpillar 3196 diesel engines providing a combined Шаблон:Convert. They have two Шаблон:Convert four-blade propellers, and each ship's complement is four crew members and five passengers.[6]

The lifeboats have maximum speeds of Шаблон:Convert and cruising speeds of Шаблон:Convert. Cape-class lifeboats have fuel capacities of Шаблон:Convert and ranges of Шаблон:Convert when cruising.[6] They are capable of operating at wind speeds of Шаблон:Convert and wave heights of Шаблон:Convert. They can tow ships with displacements of up to Шаблон:Convert and can withstand Шаблон:Convert winds and Шаблон:Convert-high breaking waves.[6]

Communication options include Raytheon 152 HF-SSB and Motorola Spectra 9000 VHF50W radios, and a Raytheon RAY 430 loudhailer system.[6] The lifeboats also support the Simrad TD-L1550 VHF-FM radio direction finder. Raytheon provides a number of other electronic systems for the lifeboats, including the RAYCHART 620, the ST 30 heading indicator and ST 50 depth indicator, the NAV 398 global positioning system, a RAYPILOT 650 autopilot system, and either the R41X AN or SPS-69 radar systems.[6]
