The primary task of these craft is firing range surveillance and clearance in coastal areas around the United Kingdom. Twelve craft in total were built from 1978 to 1984 with Rolls Royce C8M-410 as standard engines. These were replaced during 1995 by Volvo Penta TAMD122Ds giving a top speed of 21 knots.
Building RANGE SAFETY does not require great skills, as many parts are ready made thus ensuring that the model is completed in a relatively short time. While the plan is of the 15-metre Range Safety craft the model lends itself to adaption into other boats such as pilot launches, police launches, etc. With twin propellers, performance on the water is realistic and true to scale.
