Cape-class motor lifeboat

The Canadian Coast Guard maintains a fleet of 14.6 m (47 ft 11 in) Cape-class motor lifeboats, based on a motor lifeboat design used by the United States Coast Guard.In September 2009 the CCG announced plans to add five new lifeboats, bringing the total number of Cape-class lifeboats to 36. The vessels are staffed by a crew of four, two of whom are rescue specialists. In spite of its name, the CCGS Cape Roger is a larger patrol vessel, not a Cape-class lifeboat. The CCG also maintains some larger motor lifeboats based on Arun-class lifeboats designed in the United Kingdom.
