The crew says it could not be happier to have its all-weather lifeboat back and ready for action.

"Not only does the George Sullivan have a fresh new look, but she's also been upgraded with the latest technology to enhance her lifesaving capabilities.

We couldn't be happier to have our all-weather lifeboat back and ready for action. Thanks to the hard work of our dedicated crew and support from the RNLI All-Weather Lifeboat Centre, she's looking better than ever and fully equipped to handle any emergency."
