hi there, I am looking for lifeboat plans for the following boats,
70ft clyde class lifeboat . "CHARLES H BARRETT", "Grace Paterson Ritchie" ?
47 foot Watson class lifeboat "TGB" ?
52 and 54ft Arun class lifeboat "The Queen Mother"? "BP Forties"
Waveney class lifeboat, "White Rose of Yorkshire"?
Can any one help, as I was given a 1/12 scale hull for the watson, waveney and aruns but no plans, photos or names of the ships..#
Also for a family project I am looking for drawings to build the clyde class lifeboat.
Cheers
Jim :-))

Hi Jim
I obtained the plans to my Severn from the R.N.L.I at Poole. Maybe they can help you with different models.
They come out at around £6 per sheet and I needed three for mine. Unfortunately two were of a different scale, but this was corrected when I had them converted to 1:12 each.
Hope this helps.

Hi, Ken. Thanks for the info, must admit the Severn is another nice boat, another on the list :}

Has anyone built a 42ft Watson Beach launched Lifeboat
I was involved in converting RNLIB Charles Dibden into
a luxury cruiser We stripped her to the frames (oak)
and re-skinned her with mahogany strips and diagonal mahogany
sheets then coated her in nylon cloth and many gallons
of epoxy resin.
She turned out OK I spent a lot of hours at sea on her
I would like to attempt a model of the original vessel
Any Ideas?
Yours Aye
Ned
