In October, the Royal Navy section took delivery of a new 5.3 metre rigid inflatable rescue boat. The funds for the boat were provided by a bequest from the estate of Mr Reginald Price, FP who was at the Academy during the 1930's, and whose brother Norman Price was killed at sea during the Second World War. The boat will support the waterborne activities of the section as a rescue and safety boat, and will also be used for powered craft training, seamanship and navigation training.

It is an outstanding addition to the section and will provide exciting opportunities and experiences for our cadets. We are deeply grateful to the Price family for this most generous and thoughtful contribution.
