I am proud of everyone of our lifeboat crew members and of all the volunteers who support the crews on land, without whom they could not function. 'Angels of the sea' is a just description of each one of you. God bless you and keep you safe.
As a Royal Navy diver who was required to worked with the RNLI on a few occasions, and having watched them at close quarters, let me tell you guys - They are real professionals, and people around the coast of UK should be very grateful indeed that they are there. And when it's needed these men will perform miracles of seamanship, and bravery.
one of the best songs in the world and has to be one of the best videos ever made. sitting here looking out at the Atlantic ocean in Brooklyn NY listing to this song and remembering the times growing up in wicklow town and hearing the bangs and running down to the pier to see the lads at work. great job keep it up.
MY FRIENDS I WAS ON BORD THE RED SHIP WHO DID SHELTER TO THE SAILBOAT, THE SHIP NAME IS FAR SUPPORTER , FARSTAD SHIP I SAW THE WHOLE OPERATION. WE LEARN EVERY DAYS, GOOD JOB BUDDIES
Thank you Manuel for giving them some shelter from the gales until the RNLI got there, true heroes aren't in movies or in books, they are the people that we stand next to each day of our lives, but don't even know!!
Did anyone else feel like bursting into spontaneous applause watching this video or was it just me? Top drawer stuff by all involved. God bless the RNLI!
Gives you a boost when your fishing out there knowing help is there if you need it for example the weather turns quick!,thanks alot guys we all love you!
These people make us proud to walk among them. True heroes who live discretely among us, asking only to be successful in their chosen work. God bless them all.
Truly heroic rescue showing the incredible skill and courage of these volunteer crews. I suspect the USCG would stand-down under these conditions, or force the skipper of the stricken vessel to abandon ship. These guys work to save both life and property, understanding how intertwined a sailor's life is with his ship. Bravo! As far as rescue tactics - stop second guessing these guys. The single most important factor in any emergency is swift and decisive action. These guys got the job done in extremely ugly, dangerous conditions. Until you've been in a similar situation, you have no idea how you'd react - most people freeze up or freak out, so unless you are a first responder with several difficult rescues under your belt, you should STFU and try to learn from these guys.
Not true, I've worked on marine incidents with the USCG. I'm a Canadian born in the UK and live close by the US border. We were called on many an occasion in all kinds of weather to respond because we were closer than the Americans. Having said that the Americans would respond to any situation. Check out the Motor Lifeboat School at Cape Disappointment. The US has good equipment and well trained crew. Back in the day, I WAS a First Responder.
The liveboat coxen did the right approach Jess.You don't approach a small yacht on the lee side in rough weather..Also the men where using a heaving line.Don't judge until you have done the job in difficult circumstances.
I am ENGLISH and he RNLI deserve some government support the guys on these boats even the latest versions risk everything.. This Man Salutes the Bravery of the RNLI Britain and RNLI IrELAND
I live about 2 miles from the RNLI life boat station in Dun Laoghaire County Dublin. I have much respect for thier volunteers. I'm 45 now but when i was a kid i remember hearing maroons going off and my mother telling me thats the lifeboat preparing to go out to sea.
There is not enough praise that can be given to these crews , for what they do. Thankfully the only thing lost was one of the crews Tamie (Wooly hat ) .
no they shouldn't... i know how you feel but it's the huge amounts of motivation, commitment and bravery in spite of the lack of any kind of material incentive that the crews show that makes the RNLI such a wonderful, indispensable and priceless organisation.
I remember seeing this on an episode of some rescue show, but they got the big container ships to block out most of the waves so that they could safely tow the boat back to shore.
MIchael00172, We were tasked by Aberdeen coastguard as this vessel had no steerage and due to the weather the safety option was to tow them into to port as they were on route from England to Norway. The guys had been struggling to keep the vessel head to weather and could have broached.
The side you approach on varies with many factors. In particular it is the difference between the drift rate, and drift angle of the two boats. If they drift at the same speed and angle then things are easiest. When one boat drifts far faster than the other and at widely different aspects to the wind life gets a little challenging.
These guys do a fantastic job with little concern for their own safety beyond being totally prepared. First Class skills. I would like to have known just why this boat put out a Mayday call.. apart from looking uncomfortable I didn't see any reason for them to call for help, even their engine was performing well. Maybe someone who knows the story can fill us in ?
(not sure if you will even see this comment) peterheadlifeboat.co.uk/havbris.htm -- Peterhead lifeboat responded to a yacht with damaged steering mechanisms making it impossible for the yacht to get to safety (from the even worse weather to come). Hope this helps :)
Let me discuss what I see in this video:- From the direction of the spray one can easily tell the direction of the wind and it appears that the catamaran was going to windward most of the time and the froth at its transom seems to show that it was under engine power moving slowly ahead taking the waves diagonally, which is punishing for a catamaran, but I feel that it was doing very well. The owner of the catamaran was very brave to leave the cockpit at 2:24 and move along the side to 3:04 to prepare to take the tow line. That tow line tied to the bows could have been very punishing to the anchor point on the bow and I am surprised that it held considering those heavy impulses due to the impulsive tow forces in those conditions and no measures seem to have been taken to cut down those resulting impulsive forces. Provided that the rudders and centre boards remained operating, I feel that reeling out some of the genoa, would have provided ample power for the owner to reach home. I do not think that this could be considered as a grave emergency. While all the people taking part were brave indeed, I think the owner of that boat should be congratulated , but he could have kept calm and made it home on his own provided his equipment was still functioning as it seem to be the issue.
Hi something I learnt many years ago if your going to tow a boat in rough conditions have an old tire tied on to the line so that it acts as a tension-er on the line it will absorb the shocks from the line being stretched by swell Works just as well towing a car
Gary Davis if you are going to use a tyre as a drogue on the towing vessel, that's fine, but not as you suggest on the tow line, which will still go slack from the tyre to the tow, youre just transferring the snatch from the tower to the tyre - youre not making life any better for the tow in fact, you are in effect shortening the tow line and not using the stretch of the line, and so making the snatch worse for the tow, it might seem better from the towers point of view, but that's not the point
Michael Campbell Well guys you seem to know better then me but from my experiance 40 plus years commercial fishing I've seen the bows of boats the only thing left on the line after attempting to tow in rough conditions Yes there are tow lines with good stretch (and every one has one of those Gary lol) The tire absorbs the snap off the tow line when the boat falls into the trough We tow a barge( weight 75 tons) and use multi lines with tires It makes a big difference and protects us from sudden snap of lines As to which side to approach a stricken boat it does depend on size of boats
Not everyone has a towing hawser, and few have tires onboard, but they all have anchors and rodes. A simple way to tow is to put your towline around their anchor and have them veer a bunch of cable so the anchor and cable take up the snap loading. Clearly, if it is a really nasty day, very little will take all of the snap out of the load. In those conditions it would probably be better to just wait if that is safe.
Jesus siempre contestara tu llamada de auxilio...no importa si tu barca esta a punto de hundirse...y no volvera a puerto...hasta haberte rescatado...del mar...agitado y tenebroso de la vida...El es el guarda costas de tu alma....ese es su trabajo....rescatar personas....del mar agitado y tenebroso de la vida....El ama su trabajo...El conoce la mar mejor que cualquiera...por eso le conocen....como el salvador de la humanidad.
Nothing like the sea to make a boat feel small.. Grateful to the men and women that get us all home safe.
Stunning video with great music. God bless the RNLI from Alabama.
more powerful than the vessel they sail is the dedication of the RNLI. Cheers to all that answer the call.

I was choking back the tears while watching this rescue and thinking, thank god for you blokes. Of course the music was so well fitting too.
Very very Brave men and women of the RNLI. Thank you for keeping us safe.
if my donations pay for hats its better than lost lives,keep up the good work troops of the rescue crews RNLI and the rest
Love the way the support vessel creates a calmer sea to work with
RNLI - keep up the good work. You are truly appreciated.
Total respect to all RNLI crew/coxswain terrific job and deserve more recognition than they do.
Retired US Coast Guard. Retired Coxswain. Retired Lifeboat sailor. I salute the RNLI.
Beautiful Song...... Good Job RNLI Respect from Faroe Islands......
These brave souls who go out after us seafarers are volunteers. They stand above other men for their inflinching heroism. Regards and respect!
Lets not forget they rely on donations to run too. I always donate to them when i can..
These guys are incredible. Worth every penny of donations
ex seaman..cried all the way through this...must bethe onions..big up RNLI
Simply the finest people on the planet.
Ye guys are just the best , its good to know ye are there when needed , keep up the great work ye do.
Bloody great work you guys do, respect from the other side of the planet. The fact the crew are volunteers is a very special thing, well done.

Bloody good job mate, thanks to all on board, but the heroes where the lifeboat crew.
Did anyone else feel like bursting into spontaneous applause watching this video or was it just me? Top drawer stuff by all involved. God bless the RNLI!
Thank you Liam Clancy for this song and tribute to the RNLI
It can quickly come to an emergency situation. On the water everyone helps everyone. THUMPS UP.
Great to see ships working in unison and protecting the small vessel.
Tricky to catch a towline in that weather and they all did a great job.
Gives you a boost when your fishing out there knowing help is there if you need it for example the weather turns quick!,thanks alot guys we all love you!
Respect to the RNLI.
I've watched this video about a dozen times and every time I cry. I this doesn't warrant a donation, I don't know what does.
This is what it's all about....fantastic!

Touching story of the song, tells the story of the video,angels of mercy saving lives...god bless you all.... 👪

chapeau bas à tous ces marins,( nos ) anges gardiens. C'est à eux seuls que l'on doit faire une révérence ! ! ! MERCI d'exister !
The bigger boat was sheltering them from the wind a bit wasn't it. Brilliant stuff.
Good to see the ships respond to the Mayday.Men saving men.
RESPECT to RNLI guys from a yacht skipper!
I am ENGLISH and he RNLI deserve some government support the guys on these boats even the latest versions risk everything..

They don't want government support as it would mean the government will want to try control it.

What a lovely weather! And song!
I remember seeing this on an episode of some rescue show, but they got the big container ships to block out most of the waves so that they could safely tow the boat back to shore.
thats what happens if there is a bigger vessel in the vicinity they all pull together.
MIchael00172,
We were tasked by Aberdeen coastguard as this vessel had no steerage and due to the weather the safety option was to tow them into to port as they were on route from England to Norway. The guys had been struggling to keep the vessel head to weather and could have broached.
thank god we have brave men in life boats and red ships
Marvelous singing! So appropriate.
Hardcore men and women tbh thanks for doing a very hard job.🇬🇧👍
Great job, Lads!
Life is a lot like this, sometimes we are there to rescue and other times we are there to be rescued.
great job. real heroism.
Nice job guys, You are the best life guard on the sea.. I'll give you 100 + 50 bonus point...
What a great video...Awesome...
Outstanding work gentlemen.

This RNLI Rescue Was Featured On Real Rescues Correct Me If I'm Wrong But I Remember Tht Red Ship With The F And The White Ship
That poor man lost his hat !
AT 3.47 THAT POOR RNLI BALD BLOKE LOST HIS HAT . I WILL STICK TO RIBS IM FEELING QUEEZY LOOKING AT THEM . GREAT JOB .
英国にはボランティアで海難救助に命をかける方々がいらっしゃると聞いていましたが…素晴らしいです。人命第一なのでしょうね。
私もこのような仕事についてみたいものです。
nice song, ładna piosenka :)
Thought provoking .

The boat requiered a tow because of broken steering, which mean it was unable to return to safety/Harbor.

what was the song? I love it! kind of a close pass to get the line over, I thought, but big seas and a good tow--nice going!
well done lads
All these contradictory comments - the one thing we see, is a COMMON DESIRE to both save life and deny the common enemy - the sea - her prey.........
Nice bit of footage. Hardy men, fair do's
Any one of the 9 that put a thumbs down like to say why? Lets hope you never get into trouble on the seas.
Good job Lads
May God Bless them
exelent!!!
great song
Great music
Good good job this
what is this song, its awesome :)

That's some scary seas!
The only casualties being that mans hat
Beautiful! But check out the guy on the cat - hasn't even got a life-jacket.
How brave was that sailor to crawl out in that sea to take the tow rope.
But where was his lifejacket?
My god not a minute too soon for that fortunate boat. The cabin was still intact, but the hull has split completely in two.
Its a catamaran
Its not a catamaran - its a joke
@@FrancisRichard1957 Hard to tell on the internet, it's full of stupid people.
Heavenly Twins catamaran…seemed to be coping with the seas ok,I wonder what the problem was ?
stay safe!
