The Eastbourne Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) has recently announced a new D Class Inshore Lifeboat to their station. The lifeboat, named ‘The David H’ D876, has replaced the previous vessel, ‘The Lawrence and Percy Hobbs’ D744, which had served the station for the past 12 years.
The Eastbourne RNLI expressed their pride in receiving the new lifeboat, which will undoubtedly continue the station’s mission of Saving Lives at Sea. The D Class Inshore Lifeboat is specifically designed for operations closer to the shore, where larger vessels cannot reach, and its maneuverability in shallow waters makes it ideal for rescues in Eastbourne’s coastal area.
