The largest and newest boat in the collection Edward Bridges (Civil Service and PO No.37) is one of the early wood-built Arun class, the remainder of which are still in service. The Aruns are inherently self righting because of the large sealed wheelhouse and distribution of weight. The majority of the class are 52ft long and built of glassfibre. Another boat involved in a Gold Medal service - her acting coxswain receiving the Gold Medal for a service in 1976.

Type Arun Class Built 1975 Length 54ft Beam 17ft Stationed at Torbay.
