Right you brave keyboard heroes. Just pop down to your nearest RNLI station and repeat the mindless comments you posted here. Would love to watch that.
My grand dad once told me how to tell the difference between government compassion and stupidity. To paraphrase, if there are 1,000 people on a shipwreck and 100 are known illegals, compassion rescues everyone; stupidity cancels the program because of the illegals and all the people drown.
@Beauxtrux You are trying to inform us that 360,000 people are rescued by the RNLI? Get your facts straight before posting drivel. The British people are fed up with the taxi service and so are the crews of this finest of lifesaving service. 👌
@@darrenboston342I’m sure ‘they weren’t that bothered’. We get all sorts of folk wander down to our station and some of their statements are puerile but it doesn’t bother us nor does it stop us doing the job.
An amazing piece of kit. The launching is much much quicker. The problem with Skegness is that there is no harbour and at low tide the sea is a long way from the station.
The RNLI are 200 years old this year. I am sure they would appreciate some of the useful advice given in some of the comments, after all the armchair experts are invaluable and full of knowledge.
Not to be disrespectful at all. What a complex piece of equipment. Dealing with miles of shallow and sandy coastline.... I live near Astoria, Oregon, USA, where the sea is very rough, known as the "Graveyard of the Pacific". The Coast Guard here use very tough boats to go through the surf.
I cannot believe some of the crass comments made on this topic. I just hope the dimwits that made them don't need the RNLI to rescue them one day. Jock M
Sometimes the lifeboat is used in rough stormy weather when waves are pounding the shore lifting the stern up off the mud and allowing the broadside of the boat to react in the 30 MPH wind. Me thinks this staged demo would look a whole lot different.
Yep and the Shannon class is designed to beach itself much further up (higher approach speeds in those conditions.) This will have been designed to minimise risk to all involved in all conditions the lifeboat is likely to encounter
Really surprised by all of the less than favorable comments about this rig! I don’t have a dog in this fight and not even sure where this was filmed, but just from a strictly mechanical perspective that set up does not look like it was made with some parts from the local hardware store 😂😂 Simply put that shit cost some big bucks and, has it shown to be worth the price of its intended purpose of saving lives ?? Sounds as though some people feel there is a more nefarious agenda than what it was initially intended for!!?? 😳
If you ever go to Skegness the life boat station is about 100yds off the beach. In the holiday season they have it outside and ready to go so the public can see it
Why. It's a brilliant bit of kit. And designed to work with the boat for rapid launch, safe recovery and rapid torn around on a variety of surfaces including shallow sand, gravel at all tide states. Watch the video of the Shannon beaching at 25 knots it's awesome 😊
That boat can perform in very bad weather. Without details I don't know but I highly doubt you'd be going out in anything like the conditions it is designed for. It is not a pleasure boat, it's for all-weather rescue, part of a fleet intended to cover the whole British coastline. Not just where it's convenient to launch. There are larger ones, but not suitable for this base.
the machine was originally designed and manufactured for the purpose of mother in law recovery. in America, we use donuts, alcohol, meat snacks. you won't find ONE of these machines here. if you fellas would teach the boat drivers to pull up to a dock.... unless of course they are women....in which case all this makes perfect sense. I'm working on my routine...all week...I'll be here....
they don't need to do this in Dover, because its always in use, hired out to UK Coastguard and Border Force on Contract, aiding and abetting Illegal Immigration for PROFIT !
,why? One day you or your family may need them. What's happening in channel is government shit and even I don't agree with, but you may not agree with my answer to small craft full of males crossing. Rest of our coast is looked after by volunteers and public funding.......
...and spend the money on teaching you to spell? Good money after bad imho. Also, the government doesn't fund the RNLI - you need to take it up with their donors, with which I proudly stand.
They have various launch and retrieval systems that meet each station's geographical needs. Long drawn out tide and flat beach means it would be crazy to have a ramp. They'd only be able to launch a high tide. This video covers the various systems: ruclips.net/video/5Rjpqe3c5cc/видео.html
Need to skuttle the boat and save the tax payer money on hotel fees all this equipment paid for by british public and now responsible for brining in hundreds economic migrants who are destroying british culture and society very sad state of affairs ....
Bread upon the waters. A couple of hundred years ago the British invaded their country, not for a better life but to steal with both hands.Their native culture and religion was destroyed, leaving them dependent on British invaders, er, colonizers. Now, they're at your doorstep seeking help and you're content to let them drown. Nice people, those British.
@@jamesbeckwith3639 You can stop paying whenever your conscience will let you. When are these hapless immigrants going to stop paying for the sins committed on their grand and great grandparents, so that life at home isn’t so miserable they’re willing to risk their lives on just the chance of living somewhere else?
Why is it a waste of money. The system is designed to allow rapid launch at any state of tide (the turntable turns the lifeboat around once recovered and it's (once refuelled as required) ready to launch again .). The Shannon and it's launching system are designed to work at all states of tide across a variety of surfaces (sand, steep gravel). Allowing rapid launch and safe recovery. And less damage than dragging it up and entire beach
The information, you ask about, is available by anyone awake/awoke enough to navigate to the National Lifeboat Institution. IT IS ALL THERE. I am so glad I am naturally inquisitive. When I taught, I had a motto. "There is nothing wrong in not knowing something. What is wrong, is NOT WANTING to know." Certainly seems to be something you could take on board.
Previously more basic tractors have been used, however they are not suitable for a a great many conditions these boats are launched and recovered in, where you need tracks as well as the ability to submerge the tractor.

I have already. Never, ever another penny.
An incredible and very well designed and engineered solution to a complex set of requirements.
Genius idea to recovering several tons of boat on sand. Well done RNLI everyone of you are brave and courageous. Thank you for saving lives at sea
An amazing piece of kit. The launching is much much quicker. The problem with Skegness is that there is no harbour and at low tide the sea is a long way from the station.
I’m very thankful that the people risking their lives to save lives have the very best equipment.
Phenomenal engineering.

Jeez times have changed in Skeggy! That’s an amazing piece of equipment. When I was a child we always visited the old life boat station.
That is real life Thunderbirds stuff. Very cool.
Amazing recovery - amazing equipment to do the job.
Ingenious, should be rather 'exciting' in a full swell. Long Live the RNLI.
What an amazing piece of equipment. In situations where the tide goes out so far they had to get very inventive,. Thanks for posting.

Fantastico!! un sistema per lasciare la spiaggia integra 👍👍

That is a stunning machine having to operate on that surface and carry the weight of the lifeboat.
That certainly was interesting. 🍻😁
Awesome video
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Thecrews of RNLI need all our help and support. Remember it’s the crews that save lives etc. please keep up the great work. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
No they need stop bringing soilders
In some locations this is the only way to get the boat out of the sea, then back to the building that stores them like in Llandudno north Wales
Well done !!!
Give generously, as they do.
Innovative design. How well does it perform in a storm?
Hey,attach the tracks to the boat, like landgear. ?
What an unwieldy contraption
I wouldn't do their job as when things go wrong they end up in court now!!!! They volunteer too!!!!
be a hell of a lot harder in a storm with a lot of surf
I have not read all the comments, but perhaps a video of recovery during a north easterly gale would be interesting!?
Do you know the brand of boat with the 3 x 300 hp looks very nice ?
See RNLI web site: 'Shannon class lifeboat' for details
The tractor uses the same engine as the boat, and also reuses the waterproof door I believe.
😊👍👍👍👍
Timing ?
What is the point of the 'bed' rotating 180 degrees? It seems like an unnecessary complication (thing to break).
When the boat has been recovered, it rotates again so it's facing the sea ready for another launch. I missed that bit in my video.
Sometimes the lifeboat is used in rough stormy weather when waves are pounding the shore lifting the stern up off the
mud and allowing the broadside of the boat to react in the 30 MPH wind. Me thinks this staged demo would look a
whole lot different.

Safe assumption that the recovery apparatus cost more than the vessel?
Be interesting to see what happens when it is rough.
One of the best endowed charities in the UK. Hence the proliferation of expensive non-standard designs and engineering prototypes.
The recovery unit must have been designed by an individual drinking a lot of cheap booze because it is defiantly out of the box. Amazing machine.

I think it was Skegness, Ireland and I think this boat isn’t launched from a harbour, but always from this rig
@@020Dutchy 👍 gotcha thanks for shedding some light on this. Seems like a rather touchy subject if I’m not reading into it too much 🙏
@@ray8304 they do the same in Holland, on one island with horses till last year, quite the spectacle, certainly when there were high seas
If you ever go to Skegness the life boat station is about 100yds off the beach. In the holiday season they have it outside and ready to go so the public can see it
Well done, you completely missed the beaching.
I was gutted I missed! I didn’t anticipate it was done that way, I assumed it was recovered the normal way.
Looks expensive
so is life friend
Interestingly, if you watch this video at 2x speed, the process seems to happen in a calm & timely manor !
I see a million points of failer
Failure is the word you are looking for.......😂 Failure!
Never have seen anything so bizarre, glad that's not my boat!

You think that’s funny, I suggest you go you look up RNLI boat launches as well, plenty of material there for you too. 😂
They'll just have to wait for the tide to go in to get to the dock then. Funnily enough there's a reason they use the equipment they do
they don't need to do this in Dover, because its always in use, hired out to UK Coastguard and Border Force on Contract, aiding and abetting Illegal Immigration for PROFIT !
Where are their migrant passengers?
Another entitled hater. Go pick some fruit.
we need bigger boats to get more imigrants on to our shores.
Defund the RNLI water taxi's.
,why?
One day you or your family may need them.

What an absolutely ridiculous way to launch and retrieve a boat!
I like the ski ramp method, little maintenance once installed........

Llandudno has the same way of launching a life boat and retrieving it as they have a distance to travel to the beach
It's probably the easiest way for the area, that's why they do it
Why is it ridiculous?

No Lifeboat equipment comes from taxpayers money ... not a penny
What a completely stupid waste of time and money
So it's a waste of time saving lives at sea. Take a look In the mirror at yourself u need a reality check
You haven't a single clue as to what you are talking about!
I hope your never in need of these men or equipment , you might not think it such a waste ..apart from which it’s not your money that funds it ..
Yeah I read the comment he is being a wise ass But he's
right
Just take a look what's heading towards Florida
What a complete waste of time and money. Wake up UK, the wheel has already been invented
Whats your background in maritime engineering then?
What a joke and waste of money... Where are the large standard tractors that just pull the boat onto the beach and then onto a trailer...
