IB1 class lifeboats serve the shores of the UK as a part of the RNLI Inshore Lifeboat (ILB) Fleet, although they are known as the IB1 at times they are the successor to the D class lifeboat and as such are mainly called the D-Class also.

This class of lifeboat is the smallest operated by the RNLI, and they are becoming a common sight at Lifeboat Stations round the coast. Unlike other members of the ILB fleet the IB1 (D-class) does not have a rigid hull, all others with the exception of the Arancia, hovercraft & ALB Tenders are Rigid Inflatable Boats or RIBs.

The IB1 normally has a crew of three or 4 and is primarily used for surfer/swimmer incidents as well as assisting in cliff incidents where the casualty is near the water. The very nature of its work requires a swift response, and the D-class can normally be afloat within five minutes of the `bleepers` going off..
