Eastbourne’s Royal National Lifeboat Institution has just launched a brand-new D Class Inshore Lifeboat, ‘The David H’ D876. It replaces the trusty ‘The Lawrence and Percy Hobbs’ D744, which bravely served the station for 12 years.

Ready for Life-Saving Action Closer to Shore

The Eastbourne RNLI proudly welcomed ‘The David H,’ specially built for quick manoeuvres in shallow waters. Perfect for saving lives where bigger boats can’t reach, this nimble lifeboat is set to boost coastal rescue efforts along Eastbourne’s shores.
