Hope she's still going strong another 11 years later! Pretty windy passage.

Yes she was the 2nd Arun built back in 1973 was 52 02. They changed later to superstructure we ar more used to seeing. Some say for the better as gave better view of crew on foredeck but there again, have had many RNLI lads say they preferred the aft arrangement as gave better protection to helm and a clearer view when towing brgds J
