Watson split

I think its time this section was split into two separate pages.

Watson-class (P&S) lifeboats
Watson-class (motor) lifeboats

Not sure I dare do this.

Any addition or correction I make gets instantly re-edited, even though there are plenty of other corrections needed, which get ignored.

And you wonder why I take it personally!

I have been pondering the same thing myself while I have been expanding and editing the page. It would mean that all the pages that were created by @Ambak51: for the different lengths would need to be merged back into the new motor lifeboats page.

Wiki naming policy for disambiguating titles and avoiding acronyms would require:

Watson-class lifeboat (pulling and sailing)
Watson-class lifeboat (motor)

Don't see why it would all need remerging.

Separate off Pulling and Sailing.

And create a list page like we have for RNLI stations, for all the different motor pages.
