Love that this is a charity. Would like we had something like this. They help so many people out every year. Another thing UK should be proud of. Just a small hello from Denmark 😉
theres not just the rnli there is also mountain rescue which I was a member of and they like the guys at rnli are all volunteers you can find vids on here of them too
You do have the Danish Sea Rescue Society, a charity, but unkike the R.N.L.I. it won't tackle life-threatening situations. Your country needs to buy some of our old life-boats and set up a proper organisation!
Look up "Loss of the Flamborough lifeboat" & you may well admire the many brave & courageous volunteers but not so much the charity & its administration.
I remember Bridlington getting its new Shannon class Lifeboat 13-22 Antony Patrick Jones. I saw it being beached with other lifeboats from Flamborough, Brid, and, I think, Bempton.
the old boat was slipway launched, this new boat is carriage launched so I would say takes a little bit longer but it’s a much faster lifeboat . I would say at a guess with all crew present it could launch and be at sea within 10 minutes .
@@standrewpics But that's a problem. Say 2 minutes to launch old boat. New boat depends on other equipment for it's launching, which can go wrong so need to factor that in, and new boat has to get there at least 1 minute quicker once you factor in the 6 minute difference in launching. Otherwise it's no quicker, not safer, not malleable to all weathers, and is expensive in its set up. And even if it did gain 1 minute in good weather conditions, is that a justified gain for those lives you can't save because you can't go out in that weather? I would asl the populace that sail regularly how they felt. I don't think it will be the same as the RNLI executive committee who appear to want modernisation ( trendy) rather than a wide scope on all situations.
@@CymruEmergencyResponder Thank you. Are you also able to answer my point about the possible launching delays affecting the time taken to reach the sos boat position ?
@@zerotoleranceforsataniceli4794 The previous lifeboat (a Tyne Class All Weather Lifeboat) was quicker to launch due to it being gravity slipway launched. However, it had a top speed of 18 knots and had propellers. This Shannon Class All Weather Lifeboat has a top speed of 25 knots and is driven by waterjets rather than propellers. This means that it can get to its top speed much quicker. Even with the slower launch, it will get to the scene faster. Having said that though, a well drilled crew, as all RNLI crews are, can have this boat in the water within 5-10 minutes of being paged for a callout. The previous lifeboat would be about the same.
Selsey is near Portsmouth they don’t have migrant small boat issues here . Maybe on the back of lorries on ferries into Portsmouth harbour yes I could say . Will need great white sharks in the English Channel to stop the migrant boats it seems . Maybe some Great White Sharks have been spotted off Cornwall it seems with Climate Change . Not too far away .
