The Nelson 40, located in Bangor, United Kingdom, measures 12.55 metres in length with a beam of 3.66 metres and was manufactured in 1969 by Keith Nelson & Company in Bembridge, Isle of Wight. Initially commissioned by the RNLI as a GRP test-bed lifeboat named RNLB Ernest William and Elizabeth Ellen Hinde, she served until 1985. Currently owned by the same family since leaving the RNLI, she has undergone extensive refits, transforming her into a comfortable motor cruiser with two cabins that can sleep four. The boat features twin Caterpillar 3208 engines, two heads, a saloon area with a galley, and an enclosed pilothouse. She will require re-commissioning after a three-year lay-up.
