Whitstable RNLI has an Atlantic 85 inshore lifeboat which is powered by two 115hp Yamaha engines. The 8.5m boat can reach 35 knots but has outstanding manoeuvrability and is well suited to operate in inshore waters. #RNLI #SavingLivesAtSea #FloatToLive #atlantic85 #whitstable

As the days look to winter the high tides and strong winds will be visiting our shores over the next few days. Do remember to be prepared for the conditions and stay clear from harbour walls and the water's edge. #respectthewater #floattolive Photo Credit: Stephen Duncombe
