A brilliant film. Thank you for bringing it out. Any chance of a 2023 version out? ❤

[@rnli]

Thanks Ste, that's a great idea!

Will there be another All Weather Lifeboat Center open day? The last time was great because I got to see Bembridges Tamar out of the water from the stern, usually see her from the bow at station.

[@rnli]

We'll announce any open days on our website, but the All-weather Lifeboat Centre is usually open for tours year-round 😊

Modern craftsmen and women are as skilled but in Glass fiber and sheet metalwork in Aluminium and Stainless Steel. Long may the boats be designed and built inhouse.

Thanks Tony! Have you visited our All-weather Lifeboat Centre?

I'm not familiar with LIFE BOAT DAY! Is there an actual Day?

[@rnli]

There isn't one Lifeboat Day as such, but many communities with lifeboat stations hold their own Lifeboat Days, which are like open days to celebrate all things RNLI and the amazing local volunteers 😊
