Inshore Lifeboat

The Station D Class D-651is named the 'John William Hirst' and was put in commission at the station on Tuesday 4th October 2005 at 16:00 hrs replacing our previous boat D-504 'Spirit of the RPC'

The D Class was the first RNLI inflatable, introduced in 1963. The original had a single 40hp outboard engine and is ideal for rescues close to the shore in fair to moderate conditions. It can be righted manually by the crew after a capsize.
