North Sea Lifeboats: How the RNLI saves lives in this treacherous patch of water

[@loveconnection1118]

I will always support RNLI - in fact I was bought up to... I'm 42 you are all still my heroes. Thank you for all your work.

Words are not enough. However, I will say as a Kayaker returning to the North Sea, hopefully, I will never have to call a mayday But I have peace of mind in knowing if I ever have to, these brave men and women will come running. So if you ever walk by an RNLI Lifeboat station and see one of these men or women, say hello and thank them for what they do.

Thank you so much for your kind and supportive comment. We're so glad to hear that you feel safe in the knowledge that our crews will answer the call to rescue. We hope you never need us 💙

Great video but could I point out you reference the North Sea as being 750km/2. in size. Its well over 500,000km/2 in size. EG Northumberland county is just over 5000km/2.

Been there in a 44' Waveney Class Lifeboat, it's a very unforgiving sea.⚓️

Much Much Respect to the RNLI and all who serve within the Organisation. A Question For you. In the Future, will RNLI look to change the shape of the Bows of the Larger Rescue Craft to Inverted Axe Bows, for much more stability, Speed in rough seas and fuel savings too? It would i am sure be much more beneficial as a much larger capacity too, with larger Towing ability ~(Tug Like) and much more room for Many more Survivors and, even a possible Heli Pad. I know it seems like a Wildcard Question, and i know the costs would be much more, but you never know who would support such a scheme until you put it out there, that you would be willing to look at it. Good Luck, and safe Seas to all Who get to Launch. Hoping an answer would be great to find out your Thoughts.

Brilliant video 👏🏼 Only small criticism; Lowestoft is in Suffolk, not Norfolk. 😬

750 square km of seawater? It's way more!

[@turbostar7077]

I bet those lifeboats would be insufferable without the tea.

When you watch a video there aren't two images played over each other, that would be confusing. So why when someone is speaking why does music play over them?
