Impressive Atlantic 85 B Class
No, these are not my own findings but those of Matias, an RNLI Sea Survival Trainer. (website).
In this video, he shows and explains why he loves this particular RIB, the Atlantic 85 B Class lifeboat.
It is one of their fastest vessels in the fleet, built for speed, reliability, and efficiency during life-saving missions at sea.
The RNLI constructs its Atlantic RIBs in-house at the Inshore Lifeboat Centre in Cowes on the Isle of Wight.
Additional work is also carried out at its Poole facility, ensuring a consistent and tightly controlled production process.
This allows the charity to maintain quality standards, keep costs manageable, and provide the best rescue equipment for volunteer crews.
You can find all impressive and very detailed specs on this page.
