    I'll ask around later to see if any one remembers the spec. Lifeboatman across the road is probably too young to remember as our local went to IB1 in 2003 and a mate who crewed the old one is off somewhere in the Med and uncontactable. It's probably in the region of 3/4 crew and 4/5 survivors.

    The one in Howth had a capacity of 8 in total. They reckon they maybe 1 more if really needed but the most they ever did was 8 from 2 simultaneous shouts off Lambay and Rush.
