Hi, 13-13 is a made up number the Arun numbers are 52-01 up to  52-46 hope this helps.

Regards Dave.

13 relates to a fictitious class of lifeboat.......none were designated with the prefix 13.........nearest was 12-00 which were the Mersey class boat.

[kinmel]

The new Shannon class boat numbers start 13-.

The first  is 13-01 "RNLB Jock and Annie Slater" for the relief fleet and the second, 13-02 "RNLB The Morrell" will be Dungeness Lifeboat

According to the rnli motor lifeboat book(nicholas leach)there are 46 boats,when you decide to make a certain boat,then just ask as there are many of us that can help out Eg: 52-43  The Queen Mother (Thurso lifeboat)

CORNISH and proud of it. The real Elizabeth Ann was a great Lifeboat and Cox'd and crewed by superb men

[McGherkin]

Agreed, all Cornish programs should start with 'alright me loverrrrrr, been to trago lately? 'Ansom!'

[Rottweiler]

correction that should read  "proper ansome!"
