Atlantic 75

The Atlantic 75 is a B class lifeboat. Constructed of a GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) rigid hull with inflatable sponsons. The sponsons are extremely durable and made of Hypalon coated Nylon material. The twin Yamaha outboards each producing 75 hp are modified at the RNLI's Inshore Lifeboat Centre at Cowes to prevent water entering in the event of a capsize. This allows them to be restarted when the vessel is righted.
