Yesterday saw the arrival of Salcombe's new lifeboat, the Baltic Exchange III. Capable of 25 knots and costing £2.5m the new boat is the latest state of the art all weather version. Tamar Class Lifeboats are already on station at: Tenby, Wales - Padstow, Cornwall - Peterhead, Scotland - Longhope, Scotland - Cromer, Norfolk with a further lifeboat in the relief fleet.
The naming continues to represent Salcombe's close relationship with the Baltic Exchange in London.

Hi, I heard about the new lifeboat when I was in Salcombe at the weekend. Looks impressive but I hope I never get to see her close-up in an emergency!
