<p style=”text-align: left;”>Had a walk with our dog along the Trent at Attenborough this morning. Spotted the boat below. Is it a converted lifeboat. Rother Class?</p>

The odd thing is, the superstructure has been turned around!

Oddly I didn’t notice that from this morning.

I don’t think so, the Rother is double ended, that has a transom stern. It doesn’t have enough sheer either.

The superstructure shape, window and door configurations would appear to match that of a Rother lifeboat. Maybe the hull isn’t though. Perhaps an old Rother superstructure has been married to a different hull and in the process reversed.
