A day out with the RNLI

When it comes to work-boats I’d be pretty pushed to think of another genre that work as hard as a lifeboat. They don’t work every day, but when they have to, lifeboats are usually working at 100% in the worst conditions. So when the RNLI spend lots of money developing a new Tamar Class lifeboat, seeing what goes into the design, manufacture and testing of a lifeboat, it’s easy to see where the money goes. The Tamar has been tested in some seriously rough conditions and has come through the otherside. These were taken when the RNLI spent the day indroducing the Tamar Class to the press.
