Port Erin RNLI gets a new lifeboat

The southern branch of the lifeboat charity has welcomed its new fast craft to the station.

The new Atlantic 85-class vessel will be named the Neil Crowe, after a local benefactor to the charity who died in 2024. 

Known for its speed and agility compared to other craft in the RNLI fleet, it can reach a top speed of 35 knots. 

It's replacing the current 19-year-old Muriel and Leslie lifeboat, which has reached the end of her lifespan.
