Do you know which Mersey this is ?

Lifeboat or free ferry service?

thanks Buz for a brilliant week the parade on board was an added bonus bougs

Best sounding Tyne ever

😍

Great video. I love it. I've been yesterday there and sailed my City of Sheffield alongside the Annie Blaker. When both boats switch their engines on was a great moment.

Handles the waves well, as it should

In its element

Awesome launching event!

What a coxswain !

I wouldn't want to be standing on the back of that boat if the winch line snapped.

This actual Life Boat is now retired from service and is now a floating museum piece somewhere in Norfolk

Where are they going 😂

Interesting to watch the recovery operation.

Very cool, wondering how to bring her back in ? Mmmm

how is this done in anything but a flat calm?

The RNLI is entirely a charity staffed by volunteer citizens based in costal communities. Their employers give them release immediately if they get a shout, they hop in their car and tear through town to the boat. The whole town hears the hooter, the volunteers are known by everyone, so the population and the police just get the hell out of their way. It's impressive to see 20 cars screech into the parking lot like an F1 pitstop, the occupants run in, pile onto the boat and tear off to rescue someone. Within these communities becoming an RNLI lifeboat person is seen as a heroic honour. They do nothing but save lives.

Brutal Detroit diesel hourse power, animal of a boat,

When we were kids we use to go into the old boathouse and stand in awe of the Lifeboat, Philip and Dorothy Constant i believe, but could never catch it launching. That's when you could hear maroons going up, to tell the crew that they were needed. Great memories. Love to know what happened to the old girl, broken up no doubt.

Looks great 👍

Why is there no radio contact between the boat skipper and the tractor driver?

There must be a better way to recover the boat inside

💞Wow💚💚💚💗💚💚💚

How does this work when it's rolling 10-15 foot waves?

☺️😉👍👍👍

Must be an exercise. Too much hesitancy for actual rescue. These men and women risk their lives every day, so need to get it right for all concerned..

practical machine

My favourite place in the town where i lived from 1995 until 2021

Cooll!!! I'm 2nd to like

Where was this!?

Nice video Charlie :)

Nice launch! But the transom sits very low in the water! With a full load of people, the boat might be swamped!!

With respect, this seems a painfully slow launch, thinking of the rescuee at the other end? Even if it was only an exercise, it takes far too long. Surely the RNLI must have to reconsider beach launchings in favour of sites with a direct ramp to the sea?

Returning to the beach at the end of the morning's exercise

Great video! Quick question....do you still have the USCG 47' Motor Lifeboat?

Nice

"You can't park there !" 🤣🤣🤣Great job guys, love the Shannon class boats.

One for Jim xx

... Superb ... 😐

Very wise not getting the Bobcat wet. You only need a wave splash over the wading depth and the thing will be immobilised, soon to be submerged when the tide comes in!

Amazing videos!

Were these all at the Littlestone Lifeboat day?

Where is this?

what time did they go in the water because i was there yesterday and didnt see them in the water.

Great video , have you any plans etc ,I have one to complete for someone

Dam good!! Try that on a bitter cold January morning at 2:30am!! Were still dam good!! Sail safe!

Big shout for the launch vehicle crew and shore crew 👏 Proud to be a RNLI Shoreline Member.

One of the crew helped me almost 35 years ago and would accept nothing in return, it was land based, never forgotten, in more recent times they have taken some shit over the immigrant boats but they are more human than most of us and deserve total respect.

Hope all went well!

Haha!!!
