Trent Class Lifeboat Capsize Trails

Written by admin

I’ve never seen a Trent upside down before, so this is rather interesting. I found it via the Ballycotton RNLI website. The boats have a very very low centre of gravity with the engines deep in the bottom and a very light air-tight cabin on top so they pop-up if knocked over.

And normally when they do turn tests like this, they let some crew stay inside :-) what fun!
