As part of its support of Running Out of Time’s Climate Relay from Ben Nevis to Big Ben in London, RS Marine Group is proud to have taken part in the Portsmouth leg of the relay, where its high-performance Pulse 63 electric RIB was put through its paces on UK’s famous Solent waters.

Cruising from the beautiful Langstone Harbour in Chichester, the Pulse 63 electric chase boat was on hand to accompany the marine group’s popular RS Quest dinghy as the sailors onboard carried the baton from the Andrew Simpson Centre to Eastney Ferry Port in Portsmouth as part of the Climate Relay to raise awareness.

“The relay is all just about getting people involved and talking about climate change,” says Harry Hughes, Head of Logistics at Running Out of Time. “We’re here to provide safety cover to the instructors on board the sailing boat. The Pulse 63 is a really quiet and lovely ride, and we’ve been able to chat to everyone on board and on the other boat.”

The sailors joined the thousands of runners, walkers, wheelers, cyclists and many more who carried the baton to deliver the final message to parliament calling for action to cut emissions, restore nature and support those hardest hit by climate change.

Launched at Ben Nevis in Scotland on 6 June 2024, the relay set out to undertake its extraordinary 2,436km journey to Big Ben in London, representing the UK’s largest sporting climate relay – comprising 210 stages and over 80 stops to climate and nature projects around the UK.

The baton travelled the length of Britain and changed hands over 20,000 times on its remarkable journey towards Parliament Square on Election Day on 4 July to deliver its important message to Westminster.

“Our participation in the Running Out of Time Climate Relay with the Pulse 63 electric RIB underscores our commitment to combat climate change,” says Jon Partridge, CEO of RS Marine Group. “It’s an honour to contribute to such a noble cause, raising awareness and inspiring action for a sustainable future.

“By showcasing our innovative electric boats, we aim to demonstrate the tangible steps we can take towards reducing emissions and protecting our planet.”
