It has the less-than-snappy name 211/27A and comes from the North West Hutton rig, eighty miles from the Shetland Islands.
It's designed to hold 60 people. I wonder if they've tried it!
On the River Lee navigation we saw another apparently self-righting boat. Laika was tied up just north of Tottenham Lock.
I haven't been able to find out anything about this boat.

Hi Halfie
We're on the Stourt at the moment, heading to Bishops Stortford. How long are you on the River Lea for? We may just catch you on our return journey in a couple of days time!

Sandra and Barry, sorry, I didn't make it clear in my post - we did the Lee and Stort last month. Sadly I'm now back at work!
I bought Laika from a Norwegian oil rig. Sold her in 2008.
