Lyme Regis Atlantic 21 rigid inflatable lifeboat returning from service on July 24, 1983, at the start of Lyme's Lifeboat Week. Manned by Helmsman John Hodder and Crew Members Robert Irish, Colin Jones and Brian Miller, she had launched to search for a water-skier who had dropped away from his ski-boat and was missing; the skier, unhurt, was found by Lyme Regis Sailing School safety boat and taken aboard just before the Atlantic arrived on scene.
