Hi JAE, as ex seamen we all manage to get afloat in our civvy job, in Hampshire Fire service when i was over there we had Fireboat 39, which was very shallo0w draft, and designed for the Solent, however when the Pacific glory was on fire in the chanel, she was sent to fight the fire, she got as far as the needles, nearly turned over and returned to base, KT ps iwas not on her at the time
