Coastal Voyager was built in New Zealand in 2001 to a special design based on their Coastguard vessel. She is licensed to the UK Maritime Coastguard Agency Category 4. The deep V hull (23 degree dead rise to be technical) means that she gives an amazingly smooth ride even in a heavy sea. The 12 wrap around seats hold you firmly in place and the individual seat belts ensure you stay put! Naturally waterproofs and lifejackets are also supplied. |
| All the latest technology for communications and navigation has been incorporated. This includes DSC VHF and a Carmin Chart Plotter so we always know exactly where we are! The craft is only ever driven by an experienced member of Southwold Lifeboat Crew under the direction of Marcus Gladwell himself a very experienced boatman and responsible for all training at Southwold Lifeboat. |  |
