Totally Enclosed Lifeboat (TELB) · Lifeboats
The Viking JYN65 is a fully enclosed, FRP‑constructed SOLAS A rigid rescue boat capable of carrying up to 36 persons, designed for rapid deployment in heavy sea conditions.
What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
The boat and the thing that launches it are inspected as one. SOLAS III/20 and the guidance in MSC.1/Circ.1328 set the pattern: weekly and monthly checks by the crew, and once a year a thorough examination of the launching appliance and an operational test of the on-load release gear by a person certified for it. The release gear is overhauled and the falls are renewed on the longer cycle the same rules prescribe; falls are turned end for end or replaced on condition and on time, whichever comes first, because a fall fails at its hidden end. The engine follows the maker's schedule, with the detail that matters for a boat that sits unused: fuel is drawn off and checked rather than simply topped up, the raw-water impeller is treated as a wear item even without running hours, and the battery is load-tested instead of judged by its resting voltage. Every drill that puts the boat in the water is also the only real test of the recovery arrangement. A totally enclosed boat adds the enclosure itself to the list. Hatch and window seals are checked for set and for hardening, because a boat that will not close is not a survival craft; hatch securing gear is operated rather than inspected. For 36 persons the ventilation arrangement and the interior fittings - seat belts, hand holds, lighting - are part of the annual examination, and seat belts in particular are found perished more often than expected, since they sit in a closed hull in the sun for years.
The parts that decide whether the boat launches are in the release gear and the falls, and both are life-limited rather than condition-limited: hook assemblies, cams, pins and the hydrostatic interlock where fitted, plus the wire falls themselves. Engine spares follow the usual marine list - impeller, fuel and oil filters, injector, thermostat, starter battery - with the caveat that filters and rubber age in store. For the hull, keep gelcoat repair material and fender or collar patches; an FRP boat damaged at the rubbing strake is repairable aboard, damage through the laminate is not. Also worth stocking: the painter and its release, cover studs, and the boat's own equipment list items, which are what inspections actually find missing. For the enclosed hull, add hatch and window seals, hatch securing gear parts, seat belts, and interior lighting. Seals and belts age in store as well as in service, so they are ordered against the overhaul date rather than held long.
