All Weather Trent Class Lifeboat

14-37 RNLB Betty Huntbatch

As its name suggests the All-Weather Trent Class Lifeboat is designed to be operated in all weather conditions.  The Trent class lifeboat was first introduced in 1994, has a top speed of 25 knots and carries a crew of 6/7.  Designed to lie afloat at deep water moorings or at berth the sheerline sweeps down for ease of survivor recovery and the hull is of a 'hard chine' design.

Our Trent class lifeboat 14-37 "Betty Huntbatch" was placed on station at the end of September 2004.  It replaced the older Arun class lifeboat 52-46 "Duke of Atholl" which had a top speed of 18 knots.
