Workers Help to Launch Rescue Boat

Summary


DEVON workers have been playing a key part in launching a new life-saving rescue boat for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.

The charity's new state-of-the art Shannon class all-weather lifeboat reached a key milestone, with beach trials starting on the upgraded pre-production Lifeboat Launch and Recovery System (L&RS), developed by Dunkeswell's Devon-based Supacat. Following results from previous trials Supacat rebuilt the prototype L&RS to improve performance and longevity. Improvements included a new, lightweight composite cab with improved all-round vision, a Supacat-designed marineproofed track system and new 13-litre Scania engine.
