Trent Class

The Elizabeth of Glamis is a Trent class lifeboat is designed to lie afloat, either at deep-water moorings or at a berth.

Introduced in 1994, it shares the same hull shape as the Severn class but is a smaller version.

The sheerline sweeps down for ease of survivor recovery.

As with the Severn, its propellers are protected so it can take ground without damage.

Length 14m
Range 250 nautical miles
Speed 25 knots
Weight 27.5 tonnes

All RNLI all-weather lifeboats are inherently self righting and undergo a rigorous righting trial before joining the fleet. Should an all-weather lifeboat be knocked over in extreme weather, it will automatically right itself within a few seconds.
