The Lizard Lifeboat - Wow what a ride!
I guess, when your entire country is island...
How cool would it be to learn that the other end of those exhaust ports were hooked to a couple of updated and refreshed RR Merlin's? Alas, they're "just" twin 1000hp Catepillar 18L I-6's. But they propel that 52' boat to 25 knots! Our friends the Brits have been doing this since the 1860's!

That would not be good - esp. in heavy seas!
