Tenby Lifeboat Launch

[@chrisclarke3965]

those 2 CAT C18s sound awesome (1060hp each)👍👍

[@mitzyismad]

What a fantastic bit of gear that it. And ordinary people have been saving lives in those boats since 1824. God Bless em' All.

[@cobyjay23]

They do a test launch quite regularly. We were lucky that day to be there at the right time.

[@dr.joyceconroy6839]

How wonderful for those kids to experience this! Thank you!

[@chrisbynum4940]

I want to see a video of how they retrieve the boat and get it ready for another launch. I was in the USCG and I have huge respect for the RNLI.

They put a line out on a long stick, the crew hooks ot, cleats it off and then a winch hauls it up

Some people don’t seem to be able to tell that school kids are on the boat and in the boat house watching a display launch. With there being kids on board multiple safety check would have been done before the launch.

[@julianmarsh2758]

I remember your kindness, my son had wanted to get on the Hayden Miller every holiday and he was 6, and the Coxwain (Barry John?), said off you go......Nice, brave, decent Welsh citizens.

[@knighthauler2529]

Watching this never gets old!!

[@Silver_Specter]

was there yesterday and was on my way back from a boat safari when the siran sounded and watched the whole this it was fing awsome

[@lindanwfirefighter4973]

The alarm sounds like Bondi Beaches shark alert alarm! 🤣

[@ozzy2426]

that alarm is sounded to warn other vessels the boat was being launched and to move out of the way

[@castrolgtx5064]

shaun parkinson no shit Sherlock thanks for highlighting the obvious

[@kevinjasper6620]

I'd bet you could make that an amusement ride

[@jubbabubba9521]

It's like a ride that love the ramp

[@cobyjay23]

Was brilliant to watch, would have loved to be on there myself.

[@geoffb1138]

All that safety gear but the bloke pulling the pin sucks diesel fumes straight from the exhausts.

[@TheEmeraldMenOfficial]

It’s only for a moment. That, and he’s likely behind the exhaust plumes when he pulls the pin (based on its location and the fact smoke will rise).

[@robertewards46]

Was there today such a cool place

[@newwavepressure6478]

Looks like they take people on it like an amusement park ride

[@ushoys]

JT 1200 Yes, but if they get a call from a ship in distress during one of these pleasure cruises, they put the passengers over the side to swim ashore.

[@samlinton1294]

ushoys really????!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ozzy2426]

they do that as part of an open day and to raise money

[@ozzy2426]

ushoys grow up and show respect for what they do and as they where raising money by having a open day other stations where covering them

[@horsenuts1831]

Opening lifeboats to the public will increase donations by a factor of 100 compared to mailshots. I happened across a lifeboat visit last week and was shown around one, inside and out, and it was fascinating. I've been a donor over several decades, but there was simply no way that I could walk past the donation box without putting a few pound-notes in it - and all of the other dads did the same.

[@stewall101]

[@sjr999r]

Am sure if your weren’t busy on a day,you could charge £10 each just to do that,only do it on certain days and times (as it’s a working life saving vessel NOT an amusement ride)…. Probarly wouldn’t cover the cost of the derv!!!

[@castrolgtx5064]

Great cause always support it

[@joewoodchuck3824]

Is there a reason they dont just leave the boat in the water?

[@cobyjay23]

I suppose with the rise and fall of the tide, the boat is always going out into deep water. Otherwise if its in the harbour it could be left stranded if the tide is out.

[@joewoodchuck3824]

@@cobyjay23 We have ocean tides everywhere but I've yet to see a US Coast Guard or Canadian equivalent boat of any size anywhere but tied up at a dock. There must be some other reason.

[@cobyjay23]

@@joewoodchuck3824 Where this boat is housed on the Welsh coast the tide does go out quite a way so the boat is always therfore able to launch into deep water at speed.

[@poruatokin]

Allows for 100% maintenance preparedness and protection from vicious seas

[@hobmoor2042]

It's an emergency rescue boat, crewed by volunteers. It's not a patrol boat. So, it's kept safe out of the water and ready to go if there's a call-out.

[@isctony]

Thunderbirds are GO

[@123boat]

Great video. 👍

[@Gollammeister]

Impressive to experience

[@the.magnus]

Is this a lifeboat that sits on ships for emergency or is this a rescue boat to go and rescue people?

[@rebeccahawksworth1680]

Jablow Maikok this is an rnli life boat from the UK

[@DavidWood2]

It's a search and rescue boat. They're called lifeboats in the UK, the same name that is used for the evacuation boats on ships. This is an RNLI Tamar class boat - rnli.org/what-we-do/lifeboats-and-stations/our-lifeboat-fleet/tamar-class-lifeboat

[@the.magnus]

David Wood ty sir

[@ozzy2426]

it is the tamar class all weather jet propelled lifeboat which is for off shore rescues in any weather conditions and almost any swell as if it capsizes it will rewrite its self and keeps the crew safe and we have the much smaller inflatables with either single or twin prop for inshore rescues

[@CymruEmergencyResponder]

shaun parkinson Tamar is a prop driven boat

[@standbanger2]

Awesome

[@Gollammeister]

In a real life or death call every second counts thered be no pin rope its get ur butt's on board ramp drops and boat launches

[@stuartgmk]

Fantastic

[@CopperheadAirsoft]

2:46 is that a siren?

[@cobyjay23]

Yes, it's just the signal that the boat is going to be released and everyone is ready and to make sure that there are no volunteers on the slipway or in front of the boat

[@CopperheadAirsoft]

Sean Reddy where is it located?

[@jbreezy101]

Correction: 3:04

[@cobyjay23]

2:40 is when the engines start and the release safety siren starts - part of the whole process.

[@terencewarner4692]

If this was a real launch all these people would not have been on board and all those Gorpers would not have been there iether.

[@cobyjay23]

Well it's obviously just a test launch.

[@martinyable]

So is it possible to go on it when it's launched like that?

[@cobyjay23]

Yes it is, but I think it's only organised trips through colleges or similar

[@martinyable]

[@juleshathaway3894]

Slow as in the speed at which it goes down the ramp? Or slow as in the length of time it took to go through the launch procedure??

[@chuckyboy6977]

It’s a display for a school visit not an emergency launch.

[@danilejes8371]

4 min to launch.....how is that a life boat?

[@cobyjay23]

Are you serious?. Obviously this isn't an emergency launch. This was just a public event so people can see how it works. It's done on a regular basis to make sure the boat is in top condition should there be a real emergency.

[@AndrewCZ47]

Don't forget that "lifeboat" in the UK means a search&rescue boat, not the thing you climb into if your ship is sinking... Better to have everything triple checked and ready to go than having to call a mayday yourself.

There very slow at doing that. Easy to see they are being paid by the hour.

[@jcangelluk]

No. Volunteers, except for the paid mechanic who keeps it in seagoing condition.

[@jimfoley6261]

jcangelluk you can be sure they pocket a lot of that money from all them collections. Don’t be fooled. No such thing as a free dinner.

[@bebajoro77]

They are all volunteers apart from the mechanic who is paid to keep the boat and the equipment in instant readiness. Furthermore it should be obvious that this is a demonstration and that they are taking it slowly to show their guests. For instance the mast is always down before leaving the boathouse, in this case it had obviously been raised to demonstrate it and then lowered again for the launch. In a genuine call it is going to be a lot quicker than this.

[@ozzy2426]

jim foley what a complete lot of shit you talk and I can see you know nothing about the rnli as they are not paid they are all volunteers going out to save peoples lives and by doing so putting theirs at risk and that was an open day so they didn't need to rush but just so you know 1 when they arrive at station on a shout they need to change into the ppe ( to you that's personal protective equipment) 2 they board the boat and while the coxswain and navigator are get the vessel powered up and plotting the rout and setting the gps and other equipment the rest of the crew are doing other checks 3 while the above is being done the ramp is raised and boat winched down the slipway a few meters to allow for the holding pin to be released from the quick release 4 the siren is sounded to warn other vessels that the lifeboat is being launched and to stay clear then the cable is released and away they go all this is done in under 2 minutes another thing for you is that they are a none profit charity and barley make enough money to keep going out to help people each year those boats cost over 2million each then they need the equipment and medical kit then pay the council tax for the land the station is on and pay electric gas for heating to keep casualties warm water rates ect ect so got to say you really have pissed me off with your pathetic comments
