Generously funded by the bequest of Patricia Jennings, late of Dorking, Surrey

The Atlantic 75 is based on the Atlantic 21 which it is gradually replacing. Developed at the RNLI's Inshore Lifeboat Centre at Cowes in 1992, it is slightly longer and broader than the 21 and the name is derived from it's length of nearly 7.5m. First built in 1993, Atlantic 75's can be differentiated from the Atlantic 21 by their operational numbers - 75's are over 700 and 21's under, for example, B-710 and B-595.
