Our crews are on call 24/7, come rain or shine. The Tamar lifeboat was the first to be fitted with an integrated electronic Systems and Information Management System (SIMS), allowing our crews to operate the all-weather lifeboat from the safety of their shock-absorbing seats. When crashing through the waves, the Tamar’s pioneering seat design absorbs most of the energy on impact, reducing the strain on crew members’ backs. Innovations that help us to save lives at sea. @AroundTenby video of @Ten

Take a bow! Do you know how to tell which all-weather lifeboat class you are looking at? Clue: it’s all in the number, 13-7. The first two numbers are the length of the lifeboat (in metres). The last numbers denote the order of build. So, the cover photo is of the seventh Shannon to be built. To de-code the number you need to know your lifeboat lengths – save this handy post as your guide. 13 = Shannon Class 14 = Trent Class 16 = Tamar Class 17 = Severn Class 12= Mersey Class Cover 📷 Stephen Du
