Wow... !!! My best friend, Great... We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks Have a happy day!

It looks nice. I cannot wait for your next video launching out soon! Thanks!

They really need to rethink this launch process.

No, no they don’t. It has been used successfully for years.

Great videos

I'd love to see that tug vehicule try and get through Rufford Ford.

Nice video. This looks like a training launch of a Mersey Class All-Weather Lifeboat. The engines were already started by the way.

nice job ...

I must admit though that the RNLI has always been one of my favourite charities in the UK. I don't really think that these individuals get anywhere like nearly enough credit for what it is that they do. Saving people's lives on a daily basis is much important than being stuck in some stuffy office somewhere Pen pushing and operating a computer just to earn some money.

What a painfully slow process.

People always seem to say this about lifeboat launches, especially launches off a trailer. Even with the fastest method possible, where the boat starts afloat (which brings it's own problems, mainly related to boat maintenance). In the final analysis response times are always going to be limited by the time it takes for a volunteer crew to assemble, get kitted up and do the basics of getting the boat ready for sea, with the former usually predominating. In all cases it's a darn sight faster than having the boat come up from somewhere else, so the RNLI lives with the restrictions imposed by the nature of the shoreline and the availability of suitable sites for stations - which also includes, in some places, being restricted to locations chosen 100 years ago for boats of a completely different kind. As an example of location problems take Llandudno. It used to be based at a site in the centre of town chosen so horses could pull a sailing boat to whichever of two beaches was best given the location of the casualty and the direction of the wind. Every launch involved a fun drive through traffic. It took ages before a new location closer to the shore that was acceptable to the local planning authority could be found. The RNLI does what it can, regularly surveys which boats go where etc. and spends lots of money on designing things like a new and very clever articulated tractor-trailer system that is basically a mobile slipway and taking advantage of improved technology to have newer, faster, boats that can make up for the time taken to launch. The boat seen here does 17kts max, it's eventual replacement, being rolled out at the moment, will do 25kts.

Exactly what I was thinking, I wouldn't really want to be fighting for my life in the North Sea and for that to be the sort of urgency of the lifeboat you wouldn't really stand a chance.

I assume this isn’t an emergency 😮

Surely that cannot be the optimum solution!? What about a floating pontoon!? 🤔

The harbour is dry at low tide and the sea is over half a mile away….

Pitcairn Islanders do it better. They use rails and a winch. However, for low tide launchings, the Harbor would need dredging.

Dredging wouldn’t help.

Imagine doing that at night?

This design of launch trailer is approx 40 years old - newer designs are better. It wasn't helped here by being at the very bottom of a low tide - maybe they need a dredger in that harbour for a few weeks.

And if a 'suitable' deep water harbour was, as an example, 15 miles away at a 20 knot cruise? That is 45 minutes of transit time. Would prefer that or 10 minutes from a launch vehicle?

How did they get away with such terrible design of track carrier systems. Metal tracks No1 disaster, No2 Speed. No3 steering system No4 Cost,

Wrong on all counts. #1 They're rubber (otherwise the cobblestone would be destroyed). #2 It only has to move 100 metres, but is able to do so in any conditions (it can still drive with waves breaking over the roof). #3 The trailer can also be pulled 'normally' behind the tractor (e.g. on surface streets) and the front 'fifth wheel' pivots - this has to be 'locked out' when launching which is what you saw at the bottom of the ramp.

@@RangieNZ The tracks are metal type with rubber shoes, it's salt water so these still need replacing often. The steering on the trailer doesn't actually steers it ploughs, the travel motors are axial piston type, why? They could of used radial piston and finally the cost of maintenance, its all way over complicated.

@@tatradak Rubber shoes over steel track-pads is often done on many tracked vehicles (including excavators and tanks), that spend some of their time 'on road' (so they don't destroy the road surface). The machine only travels 100metres back and forth - it would take decades to wear out the rubber blocks (- the design is 40 years oid!). As I stated previously, the 'fifth-wheel' dolly type steering on the trailer is for when towing the trailer _forward_ - it gives tighter turns on the trailer (important given these were used in small streets around the coast). It's really irrelevant which type of hydraulic motor they use on the tractor - they could have been gifted a batch of them from an excavator manufacturer to put in all of these machines.

That is just about the most ridiculous long thought out plan to launch a life saving apparatus imaginable. The boffins who penned that should have their slide rulers taken from them. I realize they are funded by public donation and the harbour dries at low tide, but this is such a far cry from the vision of the crew jumping on board and the boat rocketing down the slope, engine in gear as she hits the water. Surely an amphibious duck with a cradle instead of that tracked vehicle that is obviously at the threshold of impending doom might be a better choice. RIGHT ! Everybody back up to the pub, and give this some serious thought this time. Seriously, to the men, and women who crew these boats, you have my undying gratitude, as a child I grew up on the opposite shore of the Fourth.

Extremely slow I hope that was training not a proper shout, slipway launch is the only way

I hope this is a joke!

slowwwwwwwww

Took far too long to launch be better on tracks

Cost of something hope never use
