The Severn class lifeboat is the largest lifeboat in the RNLI fleet, introduced in 1995. As an all-weather vessel, she can withstand the worst conditions at sea and becomes confident in long sea search and rescue. When life at sea is at stake, time is of the essence. With a top speed of 25 knots and a range of 250 nautical miles, the Severn-class lifeboat can quickly reach casualties in calm or rough seas. She carries a small Y-boat with a motor, ideal for rescues near rocks and shallow water, and can be launched using the Severn's built-in crane. The kit in this box allows you to build a fully detailed model of this RNLI lifeboat. Full details of the external deck, hull and rigging are included and you can view the fully detailed interior by removing the cockpit roof. The decal scheme will allow any of the RNLI Severn class lifeboats in operation to be modelled. A minimum of £1.60 from the sale of this product will go to support the RNLI.
