A record number of visitors to this year's International Boat Show at Earls Court, London, visited the R.N.L.I. stand between 4th-14th January, 1967. Principal exhibits were the new 44-foot steel life-boat John F. Kennedy, open for inspection, and the inshore rescue boat Blue Peter I (lower left) which is described on page 5 of this issue. Elsewhere there were other R.N.L.I. attractions - on the stand of William Osborne Ltd. the new R.N.L.I. Hatch-boat, now in the experimental stage, and on the stand of the Haymarket Press Ltd. much of lite-boat interest, including a model of the popular 37-foot Oakley self righting life-boat..
