CLUB HISTORY SECTION

        Our prized possession was RHIB Emily. 

Purchased with National Lottery funding and launched by Northumberland MP Alan Beith, who was then the Deputy leader of the
Liberal Party. Emily is the envy of many clubs, divers and onlookers alike. Unfortunately development of her home 'garage' meant she has
to go as storage is no longer affordable.

 Emily is a  Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat (RHIB) 8.2 metres long, manufactured by Tornado. She is powered by a 240 horsepower Yamaha turbo diesel inboard marine engine which runs on marine diesel (red coloured and duty free). Emily is fitted with the following accessories:

    VHF marine radio
    Global Positioning System (GPS)
    Echo sounder
    Navigation lights
    Coastal emergency flare pack
    First aid kit
    Anchor / Sea anchor
