Electrical equipment

Towing
Should the skirt be seriously damaged, a Christy can still run on its hull at low speed. If the main engine fails the craft can be towed while on lift but at no more than 20 km/h or 12 mph. It both engines fail, say when running out of fuel, the craft can be towed, but at a very low speed of not more that 6 km/h or about 4 mph.
6. Design:
The hull consists of composite elements made in the form of fiberglass sandwich panels with polyurethane foam. This exceptionally strong structure then creates buoyancy units, effectively making the hovercraft its own life boat, even at full load capacity.
The finished hull is non-corrosive and is resistant to both icing and ice freeze.
The flexible skirt is a well proven two-tiered classical design with the upper tier (balloon) being inflated by the lift engine, and is not a constant pressure cylinder. The second tier (lower) consists of independent row of sacrificial segments (fingers) of a hypolon or polyurethane fabric. Skirt fingers are independent and are easily replaceable in the field.
