Arbroath, Angus, Scotland, UK. 15th August, 2015. D 759 Rib boat used by RNLI Lifeguards at Arbroath Sea Fest in action Established in 1997, The Atlantic 75 is part of the B-Class of lifeboats that serve the shores of the United Kingdom as a part of the RNLI inshore fleet. Around the mid-1960s, a growing need for fast, durable and manoeuvrable rescue vessels was met by the development of rigid inflatable boats (RIBs). These small and agile crafts revolutionised the leisure, commercial and military boat market, eventually giving the RNLI its B class Atlantic 21 lifeboat.
