Where to source a small life raft.

[Nampara]

My 2004 6 man Autoflug life raft has been disposed of as it failed its service test. Autoflug appear no longer exist. I am trying to find a replacement compact model to fit into a container cradle max size measuring 69 x 49 x 23 cm. A 4 man life raft would be ok.
Any suggestions for where I might find a small life raft please? Most suppliers appear to only supply larger ones than I can fit in the cradle? Any suggestions would be of help. Thanks

And they are very heavy

Avon (used to?) do a special small and light series, at a price.

Zodiac seems common. Used ones can be found. 500£ for 4p lifecraft.

The Ocean Safety one is about the same weight. The Avon one is a few kilos lighter.

I found a single man life raft online. Id hate to use it but it has got to be small enough for what you want.

When the Autoflug on my old HR was condemned, I also looked around for a low-profile canister replacement. I ended up with a Zodiac ISO9650 raft, which fits your dimension parameters - http://www.zodiac-nautic.co.uk/liferaft
