I ask the question because as her ex owner I have a couple of nice framed photos, one taken by Bekin when new, and another taken by the Torquay Lifeboat after capsize off Start point. I'd like to send them to the current owner as I have no place for them, otherwise it's the tip!

Couple of websites which cover histories of many RNLI boats,including their fate and location after being pensioned off.
 
Yes I used to be a member of those communities, the thing that surprises me is that with the numbers on ybw one cannot locate any boat in the UK in 24 hours! Surely there is at least one member from every UK marina, actually many more than one, though I suppose they're not all on MoBos. These are my ex boats, wonder where they are

Lahaina - Taiwan Trawler type
Pegasina - Nelson 40 with a wooden wheelhouse
Uno Too - Fairy Spearfish
Yellow Moon - Moonraker
Andrea Ferrara - Herd and Mackenzie

Then there's the one I fell off..... can't even remember its name, and a desperate part exchange I took to the Christchurch auction, oddball centre cockpit motor sailer that made about 3 knots under power and wallowed like a pig. Thought I'd never leave Poole Harbour!

Last year baltic air was for sale on Facebook she was situated on the north east coast.
Unfortunately she has had engine parts stolen and needed much work.
And I'm still kicking myself for buying her.
