RNLB Abdy Beauclerk (ON 751)
RNLB ''Abdy Beauclerk'' (ON 751) was a Watson-class lifeboat〔''The Story of The Aldeburgh Lifeboats'' (28 page Paperback): Author: Morris Jeff: Publisher Lifeboat enthusiasts' Society (1994) :ASIN B0018TW60Y〕 which was stationed in the town of Aldeburgh in the English county of Suffolk.〔''OS Explorer Map 231 – Southwold & Bungay''. ISBN 978 0 319 23805 9.〕 She was on the No: 1 station at Aldeburgh from 1931 until she was sold out of the RNLI fleet in 1959,〔 a total of 28 years service.
==Description==
The ''Abdy Beauclerk'' was the first of five Watson Beach or Aldeburgh class lifeboats built.〔''Rescue at Sea'', An International History of Lifesaving, Coastal Rescue Craft and Organisations. Page: 129 Early Motor Lifeboats. Author:Clayton Evans. Published by: Conway Maritime Press (Chrysalis Books) 2003. ISBN 0 85177 934 4〕 She was built in 1931 by J Samuel White in Cowes on the Isle of Wight Some stations around the coast such as Aldeburgh required a larger heavier boat than other motor life boats such as the Liverpool class. The flat nature of the foreshore at some stations precluded the use of slipways and with no suitable harbour facilities to hand it was not possible for stations such as Aldeburgh to keep a heavy Watson or Barnett class lifeboat on station.〔 The beach design was 41 feet long and 12 foot 3 inches wide and weighed just under 16 tons. The wide beam of the lifeboat made up for its shallow draught. It was twin screw with the propellers housed in tunnels to protected them when being launched or hauled back up the beach. The lifeboat was powered by two 35 horse power Weyburn petrol engines which produced a top speed of 7.5 KT and gave her a range of 122 miles.〔 Although this class of twin engine lifeboats no longer carried sails, the Aldeburgh crew requested that this lifeboat be fitted with a mizzen mast and sail as they preferred to have this arrangement.
