WELCOME ABOARD!
Thank you for purchasing this WMBC Lifeboat kit. Modelled on the E-Class boat, which was
designed specifically for operation on London’s bustling River Thames, this eye-catching model
beautifully captures the spirit of the type. Combining both speed and manoeuvrability to cover the
tidal reaches of the river, the E-Class was introduced in response to the recommendations of the
1989 Marchioness disaster enquiry..
Here at the Wooden Model Boat Company we pride ourselves on producing traditional model
boat kits that build quickly and accurately into delightful semi-scale replicas. Using precise
laser-cut balsa and ply parts, coupled with a semi self-jigging / interlocking hull frame, there’s
little that can go wrong during the construction of your model, providing you closely follow these
instructions. If you’re new to model boat building, allow a quiet 30 minutes to read these
instructions carefully and to familiarise yourself with every part in the box, along with its function
and when it’s required in the assembly sequence.
