Our flagship vessel Rescue 100 (R100), was launched in 2005 after being custom designed and built to the groups specifications. The vessel has undergone a range of improvements and refits over her lifetime to stay on top of technological advancements in order to increase performance, efficiency and crew safety. She is now the oldest vessel currently serving in our fleet and the fourth vessel to carry the R100 name. The fifth R100, a 12m aluminium catamaran, is currently under construction.
