Arbroath Sea Fest held over 16 and 17 August 1997 proved to be a huge success for RNLI fundraisers - donations totalled £1.300, with the sales outlet raising £550.

The glorious weather attracted some 10,000 people each day and local traders, including fish merchants and chip shop owners made unexpected donations to Institution funds.

Storm Force hero. Stormy Stan, attended the festival much to the delight of all the younger visitors and quite a few grownups!.
