Lifeboat Models.

Many Lifeboat Enthusiast members have a passion and talent for building (and sailing) scale models of lifeboats both current and historic either scratch built from plans or from commercial kits. This is a vibrant and thriving area of interest within Lifeboat Enthusiasts, there is much expertise and relevant contacts available to help with all aspects of model lifeboat building.

For any other Lifeboat Model based questions, please contact our Model Lifeboat Advisor, Adrian Clutterbuck;
