Nice lifeboat station

💞Wow💚💚💚💗💚💚💚

They probably have to wait until a full minimum crew number have arrived and boarded. (They come from local businesses etc)

Exactly this. Depending on the location and tides, the average launch time from the crew being alerted to the boat being on the way is between 8 and 15 minutes.

Clearly not enough different beepers and warning notes

So it was the Shoreham that was going to be scrapped? Is she going to Ukraine now? Thanks so much for the info!

I believe that the ex Shoreham and Grimsby are Ukraine bound. They now have the names Chernihiv (Grimsby) and Cherkasy (Shoreham).

Why do life boats have to be stored up in high boat sheds?

@TrevBoston

A good question. Not all lifeboats in the UK and Ireland are stored in this way. Some are kept afloat on moorings where there is suitable depth of water under the boat at all states of the tide. In this video, the building cost £4.2m and should be in service for the next 100 years. The reason the boat launches this way here is because at low tide, it would be aground if it was on a pontoon, so by having the slipway go over the mud the boat can go straight into deep enough water. In addition to this, having the boats inside prevents additional maintenance caused by salt water corrosion. Although the boats are washed off with fresh water every time they are recovered to reduce this.

You do not want government involvement in the RNLI. Once they are involved they will look to reduce costs, look where your railways went.

Why oh why, are the RNLI not funded by our taxes ??? They do such a great job 👍🏻👍🏻

I was surprised that it took two whole minutes for the boat to launch... If there is an emergency out there, a lot can happen in that time.

Good job it was just a training launch then. For an emergency the boat goes straight in once enough crew have arrived.

Hope no one is drowning...

No one was drowning when the boat launched to escort a visiting navy vessel in....the clue is in the title of the video

@@TrevBoston Makes sense. British navy just announced that its recruits no longer have to be able to swim. So they have lifeboats escort them now.👍

​@@tivertonhistorically most sailors in rhe RN havent been able to swim. No idea why, but its not a new thing.

What a waste! It seems a shame she will be scrapped. Couldn't she be used for something else?

The lifeboat is still in service, she launched in this video to escort a warship which raised money for them into the harbour for the last time. The warship is currently in Portsmouth, under the care of the Ukrainian Navy.

What a waste of 2 and a half minutes.

No one forced you to watch the video. As you can hear from the alert, it stated the boat is launching, it's not my fault the boat didn't hit the water straight away afterwards. Please feel free to upload your own content so others can mock your efforts.
