During a television broadcast for the benefit of the KNRM (“Savior on shore” campaign) new donors were offered a tin boat. This boat had to symbolize and emphasize the purpose of the action: Fundraising for a new lifeboat. For this they had to sign up for 50 guilders. Existing donors could also buy the boat for 35 guilders. The promotion continued until May 31, 1993. The proceeds went to a new lifeboat for the Wijk aan Zee rescue station. This boat was named “Donateur”. Example: Class: Valentine Weight: 10 tons Dimensions: 11.00 x 4.10 x 0.75 m Engine power: 2 x 450 hp Max. Speed: 34 knots Capacity: 50 rescued Crew: 4 people
