Once launched the D class waits for the Atlantic 75.
Looe RNLI's Talus MB-4H semi submersible tractor is capable of launching the Atlantic 75 inshore lifeboat at any state of the tide.
A rainy and misty evening in Looe bay.
Looe RNLI's Talus MB-4H semi submersible tractor makes her way back to the boathouse.
She was built in Wales by Clayton Engineering to the RNLI's specifications.
