It’s predecessor was an Atlantic 75- but Although previous AWLB based at North Landing was good for rescuing ships in deep water it’s was not so good for rescues close to shore, our Atlantic 85 is better for the local coves, faster than the AWLB and is far quicker to launch plus our flank station has the Shannon for long distance rescues, it’s about having the right resources available for the area coverd

How is this lifeboat supposed to do the work of it’s predecessor which was an All weather lifeboat 🤷🏼♂️
