The RNLI has launched a £31,000 appeal to pay for a new inshore lifeboat for Looe which will be named in memory of a teenager who died in a car accident.

The new D class lifeboat is due to arrive at the station in the autumn and will be named after 19-year-old Ollie Naismith who died in December after his car left the A38 near Saltash.

One of Ollie's closest friends, Jamie Curtis, is an RNLI volunteer at Looe and will be one of those who will crew the new lifeboat.
