CCGS Cape Spry [note 1] is a Cape-class lifeboat in the Canadian Coast Guard Service, stationed at Souris, Prince Edward Island.[1]

Design

Like all Cape-class motor lifeboats, Cape Spry has a displacement of 20 short tons (18 t) and a total length of 47 feet 11 inches (14.61 m) and a beam of 14 feet (4.3 m). Constructed from marine-grade aluminium, it has a draught of 4 feet 6 inches (1.37 m). The vessel is powered by two Caterpillar 3196 diesel engines driving dual propellers. Its crew complement is four with two being officers.[1]

The lifeboat has a maximum speed of 25 knots (46 km/h; 29 mph) and a cruising speed of 22 knots (41 km/h; 25 mph). Cape-class lifeboats have fuel capacities of 400 US gallons (1,500 L; 330 imp gal) and ranges of 200 nautical miles (370 km; 230 mi) when cruising.[1][2] Cape Spry is capable of operating at wind speeds of 50 knots (93 km/h; 58 mph) and wave heights of 30 feet (9.1 m). It can tow ships with displacements of up to 150 tonnes (170 short tons) and can withstand 60-knot (110 km/h; 69 mph) winds and 20-foot (6.1 m)-high breaking waves.[2]

Communication options include Bendix-King KY196 VHF AM, Ross DSC 500 VHF FM and Motorola Micom HF radios.[1] The boat has an Anschutz Gyrostar II gyro and a Furtuno 1942 X Band radar system. Other electronic systems for this lifeboat include an ICAN Aldebaran II electric charting system, JMC DF5500 VHF depth indicator, Si-Tex Koden CVS 106 depth sounder, Magnavox MX400B global positioning system and a Comnav 2001 autopilot system[1]
