BB100 Billing Boats - US Coast Guard

The first lifeboat of this type was launched in 1961 at the Coast Guard docks in Curtis Bay, Maryland in the USA. Of the 110 Coast Guards originally built, only one has since been taken out of service. Four of the vessels have been sold to other countries.

The 44-foot Coast Guard is a very seaworthy lifeboat, designed to carry out search and rescue missions in poor weather and water conditions. With a skilled and experienced crew, this vessel can carry out the most demanding of rescue operations. The vessel is self stabilizing. Built in 1961 at the Coast Guard shipyard in Curtis Bay, Maryland, USA.

About Billing Boats

Billings Boats have been in business since the early ‘50’s. The company was started by Mr Ejnar (Ed) Billing, a former WWII RAF pilot, working as an Architect in the town of Esbjerg in Demark. Ejnar Billing developed boat kits that were constructed in the same way that you would build a real ship. And the “plank on frame” concept, pioneered by Billing, is now used by all model boat manufacturers around the world today. Over time ABS plastic hulls were introduced to the range for modelers who wished to use their models with Radio Control (R/C).

Today the Billing Boat company is known as the first and finest manufacturer of model boats, producing some of the finest model boats in the world, using the latest technology and Danish craftsmanship and know how.
