    Having the "right" equipment is one thing.....KNOWING how to use it is something else. 100% respect to all RNLI crews.

The RNLI crews all put there lives in harms way to save others lives and they have not just my respect but support - next time any one goes to Barry Island visit the RNLI Centre and put your hand into you pocket - You never know if or when you might need these people.

    Hi Kenneth, greetings from the UK and Ireland. Yes our lifeboat fleet is not to be confused with life rafts or similar. Our all-weather lifeboats are high-tech machines with powerful engines and self-righting capabilities that we use for search and rescue missions in all-weathers and sea conditions. We're a charity service and our lifeboats are mainly crewed by volunteers. We've been doing this since 1824.

    Our independence from government allows us to make decisions free from changing political agendas. We are therefore able to deploy our funds and resources to best long- term effect, ensuring we can meet our core purpose of saving lives at sea. We would not wish to be subject to an ever-changing political environment, where priorities for spend can fluctuate very considerably.
