    That is the one big advantage about the Shannon class lifeboat. Firstly, it is jet powered. Secondly, because of the design, it can leap out of the water and onto the beach without causing any damage.

      It's designed to be able to do this. Safest way to get ashore in rough weather, and quickest if time is of the essence for a rescued person.

      You're right, I think they normally back the trailer into the sea. But because of the shingle bank, at certain states of the tide it may be more difficult to do that. Especially in bad weather, as you said.

      I talked to some of volunteers at the station a few days ago. Apparently they always land the boat by beaching it, it's the only way at this site because of the gradient of the shingle. But a normal landing is less dramatic than this one, which was a special for the open day. The crew regularly repaint the hull with a special paint containing kevlar to cope with hitting the shingle repeatedly.

      There's no need for a dock here, Dungeness doesn't have a lot of people or industry, apart from a nuclear power plant, and it has a railway to it. And there are harbours a few miles away east and west of here. So they wouldn't go to the expense of building a dock just for the lifeboat. But presumably this is the spot the lifeboat needs to be at to provide coverage for emergencies.

    In mediteranean we are building and using ports since middle ages. Every single smallest town have port for boats. Please let me somebody explain why you are using beach for launching and recoveryng boats??

    • @mikepepler
      @mikepepler  Před 3 lety +3

      Very few people live here, not enough to justify a harbour. There's some fishing boats, but they launch directly off the beach too, using a tractor or a winch. The lifeboat is here because it's sadly a busy area for people getting in trouble at sea.

      Good point! Significant tidal range here, such that the harbour in Rye is only usable for a few hours each day.

    Hull replacement after every three beachings !! 🤣🤣 NO hull will withstand that punishment for very long. Hopefully this is just a demonstration of what it can do in an emergency only... but then... without the cat track tug and trailer... no way of getting back into the water...so...😖

      They said they do it if they have a critically injured patient and need to land fast and/or the sea is rough enough that crew operating the trailer would be endangered by the boat. I doubt they do it often

      I talked to some of volunteers at the station a few days ago. Apparently they always land the boat by beaching it, it's the only way at this site because of the gradient of the shingle. But a normal landing is less dramatic than this one, which was a special for the open day. The crew regularly repaint the hull with a special paint containing kevlar to cope with hitting the shingle repeatedly.

    These brave people really deserve our support, I've been giving ever since i was old enough to earn and i have left a substantial portion of my estate to them, that was until now. I will never support them again. I'm sorry but it's the RNLI not the RILI, National not International. Stop empire building.
    I expect my donations to support the British not people in Africa and elsewhere, if you have so much money, help those that need it in the UK those that work tirelessly on our behalf, not those abroad. Giving Burkini's to those in Africa makes a mockery of those brave soles that regularly risk and to those that have given their lives to save those in the UK seas. For example Penlee and others. Its a bloody disgrace

      @@bazzer621 OK ill go slow for you. The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea, that's kind of there motto. There not the charity that saves lives in British territorial waters, or the charity that saves the lives of British passport holders. The RNLI is the charity that save lives at sea. They never lied to you and said there only going to save British people or that the money will only go to British business or cause, in fact if you looked at there annually published cost break down you would have seen them clearly telling you that a tiny percentage of donations are spent saving lives outside British territorial waters. Saving lives in foreign countries also provides crews with valuable training and opportunities for inter-agency cooperation, skills and techniques that those crews bring back to the UK. So in answer to your question i suppose that what i don't understand about British money from donations staying in England to save people in England is why you believed it would. Although I suspect that your views are driven more by your own racial prejudices than common sense and facts, i still hope that things are a little clearer for you now Barry.
