COVER STORY:
INSULINDE - This Dutch lifeboat was launched in 1927 and was one of the first lifeboats to be self-righting and unsinkable, as the basic design was based on the WW1 U boat hull. She saw 38 years service retiring in 1965, since then she has been restored and is operational at the National Lifeboat Museum in Den Helder. The first part of this article describes the history of the full size lifeboat and next month will cover the model build
