context_page_description: The Arancia-class inshore rescue craft is a class of small inflatable rescue boat operated by Surf Life Saving Great Britain, Surf Lifesaving Wales and the RNLI of the United Kingdom and Ireland.
  The Arancia inshore rescue craft originates from New Zealand where it is made by Arancia Industries Ltd. It is used worldwide by lifeguards and police authorities as well as by Surf Life Saving Great Britain and the RNLI Lifeguards that serve the shores of the UK.
  The Arancia surf rescue craft is also used in Surf Rescue competitions to demonstrate the high speed rescue skills of boat crews around the world.
  When in use it carries up to two crew and is primarily used for surf lifesaving duties.
  Other small boats operated by the RNLI include the X-class lifeboat, XP-class lifeboat and Y-class lifeboat.
  The RNLI have placed Arancias at lifeboat stations to supplement Atlantic 85s. Two stations in Wales, Aberystwyth and Criccieth now have these as permanent resources after a trial period.
