That's such a unique lifeboat launch with the tracked unit. Thanks to the brave, dedicated men and women for voluntarily rescuing people and saving life. Blessings to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. From the States, Keith
as a kid loved watching lifeboat launches kent coast - now sixty still like them /// for lifeboat fans chatham dockyard museum has a huge collection lifeboats and history of --- grew up in chatham dockyard closed around 1985 think .. now fascinating navy ships subs museum ... /// chatham river medway kent ... nice vid ..
Note to self: More magic beans. That, and the air Ambo, up here in NW.. but I have a special link with Devon & Cornwall.. (Not so sure about the dance music, though, I would have used 'Fade into darkness'.. Avincii..)..🤔👍😜❤️❤️❤️❤️K
As well for longevity and maintenance of the craft, RNLI operate mostly in saltwater which can lead to shorter lifespan of the vessel due to corrosion, having it out of the water allows for easier maintenance, but also less frequent maintenance, keeping a vital asset in an emergency in top condition As above though, it's mostly tides
In harbour when there are relatively small boats moored your limited with the speed you can do because of waves you create, what you don't want to do is create another emergency by sinking a boat with people on it in the harbour

Quicker than dragging it by hand...!😮 dont forgot the tide isn't always in...tracking is a great idea across the sand

Respect to all.
Oh, I've been there...The base is open to the public to look around.
Impressive
Looks like its ready to go on a moon landing
Thanks to the child for having the foresight to explain to us why the boat was launched. Adults don't think, tsss.
I thought the lifeboat at Ilfracombe was moored outside the harbour?
Nope, their station is right there on the harbour edge.
Saw that many years ago and as it been pointed out very slow Lanuch
And stop the music
Hear hear. Please!
But the music is necessary. It covers up the clattering noise made by the projector.
Po co jest wodowany i wyciągany? Nie może stać zacumowany jak inne łodzie? Jakiś nonsens 🤔
If the tide is out then they wouldn’t be able to launch the boat. It’s not fast but enables them to launch at any tide condition.

Not very quick is it
dave smith it’s cause it in harbour when it’s out at sea it can go 40mph (30knts)
