£2.00 - Shannon Class, 2013 - The RNLI's first Shannon class lifeboat was named Jock and Annie Slater, after a former RNLI Chairman, Sir Jock Slater, and his wife, Lady Annie Slater.
The Shannon class is the first modern RNLI all-weather lifeboat to be powered by waterjets instead of propellers, making her fast with speeds up to 25 knots, and agile.
She is self-righting and can endure up to 10 hours in extreme sea conditions. She is highly manoeuvrable even in shallower waters, and her Systems and Information Management System (SIMs) lets crew monitor, control and operate many of the boat's systems from the safety of their seat.
