REPAIR OF THE NEWHAVEN LIFEBOAT
'Keith Anderson'
By Chris Young
These pictures depict repairs to the Keith Anderson Arun Class lifeboat, which were carried out at Sovereign Harbour Marina at Eastbourne, following the beaching of the Dutch sail training vessel Eindracht. The lifeboat was attempting to render assistance in the re-launching of the Eindracht when a sudden swell pushed the lifeboat bows onto the vessel, causing severe bow damage. I took these photos as I was involved in carrying out the repairs at Langley marine. This was in the late 1990's.
