Looks impressive, I should think 25 knots makes quite a difference if you're sinking in a storm.  I remember Salcombe replaced their 8-knot Watson with a Tyne, so they could get the damn thing across the bar in bad conditions - kinda useful in a lifeboat!  ISTR hearing they have a new boat on the way too - not sure if it's the same class.

I went to Poole and tested that class of boat! It was odd controlling it with two joysticks instead of a wheel! But the slanty front windows mean u get blinded in the sun, unless they've fixed that now!

They are nice boats! Cant wait till we get one!
