New launch for Rye Harbour

RYE’S harbour launch “Rother III” has been put in retirement after 31 years service.

The craft has finally been replaced with a new all purpose vessel.

The three previous vessels were built in Rye but with the demise of ship building in small ports the 39 ft “Rother IV”, designed by Lochins (ex Rye Boat Builders) was constructed in Great Yarmouth by the yacht building firm of “Goodchilds Marine”.
