This lifeboat is the eighth of the "Fast Slipway Lifeboats" (FSB) and has the operational number 47- 008. She is constructed utilising Steel for the hull and Aluminium for the superstructure and is now a well tried and tested vessel, having launched on service approximately 20 times each year to give assistance to an average of 66 persons each year.
