Specialist Small Craft supplies Kontra R450CC to Southampton lifeboat service
Wiltshire-based Specialist Small Craft has supplied a Kontra R450CC rescue boat to the newly formed Southampton Independent Lifeboat service.
All the boats are brand new and commissioned to be on the water at Haslar Marina, and there are plans to expand the fleet with more boats to other marinas within the boatfolk group.
All Beyonder members become part of the nationwide boatfolk community, granting them access to overnight stays and facilities at marinas across the country, and all the training they need to be confident on their boat.
Piers Covill, Managing Director of Beyonder, commented: ‘All of these new boats will be rigorously tested, cleaned, fuelled and kept in top shape, ready for when our members next want to take them out.’
Dominic Zammit, Director at boatfolk, added: ‘These boats, and the wider fleet we plan to grow, will help provide the chance to get out on the water with family and friends and make the most of the benefits that boating provides.’
