Sketching this legendary military inflatable while talking about submarines, a crazy Atlantic crossing without food, and how Jacques Cousteau made these boats famous worldwide. Find out why elite special forces trust these rafts with their lives. Join the daily art chaos at 5:30am CT. 9 Fun Facts About Zodiac Rafts: 1. Zodiac rafts can be locked out of submerged submarines and inflated on the surface. Navy SEALs carry the deflated boats out through special lockout chambers while the sub stays underwater. 2. The boats have eight separate airtight chambers so a single leak won't sink them. Five chambers make up the main hull with internal baffles between them. 3. Military zodiac rafts weigh 265 pounds empty but can carry 10 combat ready soldiers. The boats stretch 15 feet long with aluminum floor plates that lock together. 4. A French doctor crossed the Atlantic in 1952 in a 15 foot zodiac with no food or water. Alain Bombard wanted to prove shipwreck victims could survive at sea. 5. Zodiac started as an airship company in 1896 in France. Maurice Mallet, Antonino Mélandri, and Paul Simard de Pitray founded the company near Paris. 6. Engineer Pierre Debroutelle invented the inflatable boat in 1934. He worked for Zodiac and created an inflatable kayak for the French Naval Air Force. 7. Jacques Cousteau made zodiac boats famous on his television show in the 1960s. After Bombard's Atlantic crossing, Cousteau started using zodiacs as tenders on his research ship Calypso. 8. The boats are used by more elite special forces worldwide than any other craft. Navy SEALs, Marine Force Recon, Army Rangers, and special operations units from dozens of countries use them. 9. Zodiac has sold over one million boats throughout its history. The company operates shipyards in Spain, Germany, Australia, the United States, and Canada. #zodiacboat #inflatableboat #navyseals #militaryboat #combatraft A blunt force journey through the art world.
