While clicking on some of Dylan's excellent films as a result of the Solent Mobos thread I found this:

You do occasionally see one or two of that class of lifeboat now converted which were RNLIs workhorse when I was young - they still look great but no question I would want to be rescued by a current generation boat. So what is the class and noting the two exhausts chucking out more smoke than a smoky seagull outboard I'm wondering what powered them - must be 2 engines I guess but as it motored off it looked like one screw from the wake.

Dylan - keep you chin up mate I thought your lack of language was commendable as the Centaur was chucked around.
