Scale: 1:12. A contemporary full hull model of a sailing lifeboat (circa 1880). Built plank on frame, the model is decked and equipped with floors, thwarts, rudder and tiller, water ballast tanks and valves. The hull is built in clinker fashion and varnished throughout and is fitted with a removable wash strake above the gunwale. Internally, it is fitted with large buoyancy cases, individually numbered, which will keep the boat afloat should the hull become damaged. A large wooden and cork fender is fitted just below the gunwale externally both for added buoyancy as well as protection when coming alongside a casualty. The lifeboat was rigged with a two-masted lug rig, mounted in tabernacles, to allow both masts to be lowered when not in use.

The model depicts the type similar to the large open beach yawls in use on the Norfolk and Suffolk coast which were shallow draughted and fast under sail. It is very similar in style to the models made by William Teasdel of Great Yarmouth who was designing lifeboats from the mid-19th century onwards.
