Monday 31 October 2022. A yacht is taking on water off the coast of Cornwall. Penlee lifeboat crew launch to the rescue. 7m waves. 100mph wind. 8 people in danger. What happens next is the latest in a long history of incredible rescue stories by the RNLI.
Watch as the lifeboat crew involved in the rescue tell the story of how they tackled a dark and stormy night in their mission to save every one. And learn more about the incredible leadership and courage of Coxswain Patch Harvey that resulted in him being awarded the RNLI’s Silver Medal for Gallantry.

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, lifeboat crews around the UK and Ireland are ready to launch to help those in need. Whether you're stuck on a sinking ship, cut off by a rapidly rising tide, or in the water and close to drowning, RNLI crew members will drop everything to come to your rescue. The vast majority of RNLI lifeboat crews and station staff are volunteers.
But it’s not just lifeboats. RNLI lifeguards patrol 242 beaches, keeping people safe, providing safety advice and rescuing those in trouble. Education volunteers visit schools and swimming clubs to help teach the next generation how to enjoy the water safely. And volunteer fundraisers and shop workers give up their time to generate vital funds. The RNLI is also working to help communities around the world that are most at risk of drowning.
If you spot someone in trouble in the water, call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard.

Not only 8 lives saved but the boat made it home with the yacht in tow which is amazing. I've been in rescue and firefighting most of my life and I steadfastly maintain that there is no better service in rescue anywhere in the world than these guys, RNLI, you rock.

The crew deserve every plaudit they get, amazing! However we should also shout out all the engineers who designed, built and maintained the Severn class from the early 90s to today. What a beast of a boat to be able to handle those seas and tow a yacht to safety.

@rnli 2 месяца назад

Luke, we totally agree. Everyone who contributes, from the supporters who donate to the designers and engineers who build and maintain our kit, is a lifesaver ⚓

For those not used to the power of water the full extent of the danger this crew sailed into may not be apparent. Every cubic metre of water weighs a tonne. Being hit by a one metre wave is like being hit by a small car. Being hit by a seven metre wave is like being hit by a house. And these people are volunteers. They do this because they see the need and answer the call. They are the very best of us.

@nickpage4333 2 месяца назад

@@Birkguitars I was told years ago only the Coxswain and Mechanic are paid and the RNLI Would not let the government pay each member as they would want to run the service which it's not about.So they rely on donations legacies etc

@Birkguitars 2 месяца назад

@nickpage4333 To be honest I don't know which crew at which station are paid but I know that it is predominantly volunteers who make up the crew and I am in awe of them. I grew up by the sea back in the days before pagers when maroons were used to signal a shout so everyone in the town knew when the lifeboat was heading out. Unfortunately not everyone they went out for made it back. I have been an RNLI member for many years and plan to remain so for as long as I can.

When I first looked at this video then I thought that its maybe about the story of Solomon Browne but no... It is next heroic Penlee Lifeboat crew doing their thing!

What do they have to do to get a gold medal or certificate? Die ? I know all but one of The Solomon Browne only got bronze, just the coxswain with gold, & they all died, hero's all the same. Bravery you could only imagine if not told about it. God bless them all, the ones still living, &, the ones who gave their lives. None will ever be forgotten.

@ReblexianGuy82 24 дня назад

@@scottwebb4722 it's the government who decide what happens to illegal immigrants, not the RNLI. Personally I think they should just be sent back to France if they're coming from France. The RNLI is just responsible for every life at sea, at they still rescue thousands of British citizens each year.
