Ohh nooo, what happened to the old Talus tractor? Ohh, and I don't miss dragging very large nylon plastic skids around to slide the boat onto. Although I did learn to reverse a trailer on Skegness beach (The small tractor that towed the trailer with all the recovery skids on). Was crew for a while back in the early 90's. Brave lads all of them 👍👍

Just to be clear, UK Border Force pick up more than 95% of refugees trying to cross the channel but that's not news is it? Government agency doing what it's supposed to do? Second, RNLI boats are launched in response to a request from HM Coastguard. The crew might not know what they're going to at the moment they launch. They never ask who they're being asked to rescue, nor how they got into trouble nor their nationality. All they're interested in is where the casualties are and what's known about their condition. Once they get to the casualty vessel, the idea that an RNLI crew would ever say 'We're not rescuing them. Leave them to drown.' is stupid. They sign up to save lives at sea. That's what they do. If they pick up foreign nationals, they'll hand them over to Border Force. And, out of 238 lifeboat stations, it's unlikely that more than a half a dozen at most are involved in rescuing refugees in small boats. Given that Skegness is almost 200 miles from the nearest European country (Netherlands) it seems unlikely that this boat will ever see any refugees.

What a fantastic piece of specialist recovery kit the RNLI have to recover these large very heavy vessels from open flat beaches. The large wide tracks are ideal for wet sandy conditions and it makes the recovery so much easier. There are a number of mindless comments on here from people who clearly do not understand the difficulty of recovery large heavy vessels in such circumstances. The cost of such specialist equipment that varies all around our coast is very expensive and we should all strive to give that bit extra to the RNLI.

Having read some of the OTT comments here .. reminds me of an Australian joke. "How do you know when a plane load of English immigrants arrives in Sydney?" ... "The whining doesn't stop when they turn the engines off !!" From memory many, if not most, English people can't swim and would be thankful for any rescue vehicle at sea. It's a law of the sea that you go to the aid of those in distress, doesn't matter who they are. I live in New Zealand, an Australian immigrant at 7 years old, and born in Birmingham, England. Can't believe some of the negativity towards this service. Cheers.

Not to be disrespectful at all. What a complex piece of equipment. Dealing with miles of shallow and sandy coastline.... I live near Astoria, Oregon, USA, where the sea is very rough, known as the "Graveyard of the Pacific". The Coast Guard here use very tough boats to go through the surf.

Why. It's a brilliant bit of kit. And designed to work with the boat for rapid launch, safe recovery and rapid torn around on a variety of surfaces including shallow sand, gravel at all tide states. Watch the video of the Shannon beaching at 25 knots it's awesome 😊

@artgreen6915 8 ай бұрын

That boat can perform in very bad weather. Without details I don't know but I highly doubt you'd be going out in anything like the conditions it is designed for. It is not a pleasure boat, it's for all-weather rescue, part of a fleet intended to cover the whole British coastline. Not just where it's convenient to launch. There are larger ones, but not suitable for this base.

@peterpaulissen2690 9 ай бұрын

What a joke and waste of money... Where are the large standard tractors that just pull the boat onto the beach and then onto a trailer...

@scottwallis7210 9 ай бұрын

Why is it a waste of money. The system is designed to allow rapid launch at any state of tide (the turntable turns the lifeboat around once recovered and it's (once refuelled as required) ready to launch again .). The Shannon and it's launching system are designed to work at all states of tide across a variety of surfaces (sand, steep gravel). Allowing rapid launch and safe recovery. And less damage than dragging it up and entire beach

The information, you ask about, is available by anyone awake/awoke enough to navigate to the National Lifeboat Institution. IT IS ALL THERE. I am so glad I am naturally inquisitive. When I taught, I had a motto. "There is nothing wrong in not knowing something. What is wrong, is NOT WANTING to know." Certainly seems to be something you could take on board.

@dhutch2000 8 ай бұрын

Previously more basic tractors have been used, however they are not suitable for a a great many conditions these boats are launched and recovered in, where you need tracks as well as the ability to submerge the tractor.
