That was our boat the Plymouth Lifeboat and is a Seven Class Lifeboat. She has two Cats with 1,200 h.p.each. We towed that fishing boat(100tons) at about 6 knots and the whole rescue to us six hours in a force 9 storm. Cheers Drake.

Very cool! Is that the same boat from the Plymouth Lifeboat test? I would have liked to have been aboard to see the whole operation and would love to hear any details... How fast did you tow over the 19 miles? How many horsepower does the lifeboat engine have? Thanks for sharing! We're always looking forward to the next Barry Perrins videos! :)
