The RNLI's RNLB Robert S. Ellsmoor seen at Poole on 13/01/09. The training boat is a Hardy Commodore 42 and was officially named at Poole 10/06/07. Her sister is the RNLB Ian and Ann Butler which was officially named on 20/10/06. They are painted grey so as not to be confused with operational lifeboats and to give some anonymity whilst training at sea.
