That’s bigger than a Severn.

Though Aruns look similar to Severns the latter is a bit ahead of the former. The RNLI is consolidating its boat building into a new purpose built factory; the focus at the moment being Tamars and the new Shannon. Here’s hoping the Canuks success with this 19m boat. Super stuff.
