Watch 'til the end as RNLI Selsey Lifeboat recover their all-weather lifeboat by landing on the beach! This is possible because the Shannon class is powered by water jets. At other stations, it can also be launched from a slipway or even left securely on the water 😊 #RNLI #Lifeboats #MightyMachines | RNLI

And away they go! For many stations, launching their lifeboat starts with a journey down a slipway before ploughing into the water beneath... We hope you enjoy this trip to Shoreham, The Lizard, Tenby, Cromer, Moelfre and Padstow as they each launch their Tamar class lifeboats! | RNLI

We're always innovating at the RNLI and in this week in 1971, we demonstrated the prototype of the brand new Arun class lifeboat. The new lifeboat achieved a speed of 18 knots and was self-righting, and in 1982 it won a Design Council award for excellence. | RNLI

When it comes to saving lives at sea, it’s vital to be able to launch as quickly as possible. That’s why the crew of RNLI Anstruther Lifeboat are looking forward to the arrival of their new Launch a Memory lifeboat. As well as the new lifeboat, a new lifeboat station is being built which will speed up the launch process, taking even less time to reach those in need of rescue. You can donate the name of a loved one, so that their name appears on the side of our new lifeboat at Anstruther in Fife.
