Please ensure a plug (with o ring) is in and screwed tight for future launching.

Did someone get carried away on the irn-bru last night!
First off that RNLI sticker....is not the kind of thing you will find on the back of your mums old mini-metro...it's rather substantial and as a little research tells me that The RNLI did indeed run Tornado ribs back in the day...East Anglia where the beaches are flat run lots of class D LB's....and would you know it but I purchased the Tornado in East Anglia last Autumn....maybe ex RNLI maybe not...no matter.
As for the drain hole I have read a few bits and bobs talking about flooding hulls (seariders commonly) and talk of self flooding systems with some sort of baffle system....the reason i asked the question is I was hoping someone had indeed owned a Tornado at some point and would have a definitive answer for me......because that's the way it works you see....inexperienced folk (like me) ask the questions and more experienced folk answer.....it's a very helpful system....problem is some experienced folk sometimes forget they weren't born with that experience.
Ps what is that dedicated RNLI telephone number I will put it my contact's.

certainly doesn’t give the boat RNLI class provenance despite the fact people like to claim any orange rib is “ex RNLI” when selling
