MEDINA LIFEBOATS (Lifeboat Design & Development No.12)
During the 1970s the RNLI developed and built three large rigid inflatable lifeboats, designated the Medina class. Unfortunately, none saw operational service, despite extensive trials and many different configurations of engines.
This volume, the latest in the Design and Development series, looks at the background to the design and how large rigid inflatables were developed, with technical information and details of the extensive trials undertaken around the country, as RNLI designers attempted to produce a serviceable lifeboat
