Have you ever wondered how our lifeboat launches at low water? The answer? Our shore crew! Our shore crew play a vital part in the launch and recovery of the lifeboat. From our Head Launcher who oversees the operation, to the Tractor Driver who expertly navigates the carriage to meet the required depth of water. Speed is of the essence when launching to those in need of our help, with patience key in our recovery as we wait for the correct tidal level to float the lifeboat back onto the slipway.
