'Eric Rowse'

The £81,000 lifeboat was donated by Mrs Rowse in memory of her husband Eric. The inshore Atlantic 75 is based on the Atlantic 21. Even though her twin 70hp outboard engines make her one of the fastest lifeboats in the fleet, her hull design provides a softer ride than her predecessor for the three crew and survivors. The Atlantic class Lifeboats have proved to be a fast and versatile means of enabling the RNLI crew members to provide assistance to vessels, divers, swimmers, surfers and many others in difficulty in the waters around Jersey and along the adjacent French coast.
