I just realised people posting comments not familiar with the RNLI in the UK are assuming this is a lifeboat... as in the kind of lifeboat attached to cruise ships that are lowered into the sea in an emergency. This is a rapid rescue boat that has a trained crew onboard that responds to ships/persons at sea in distress and is launched from a station or dock/marina on the coast. RNLI and HM Coastguard work together with help from Royal Navy and other military when necessary e.g. helicopter search and rescue.

These boats are amazing and the people that go out on the ocean to rescue people are just as amazing for the job they do. Thank god we have people like this around!

"all your occupants will vomit, but at least they won't drown!"

God bless all those who serve and have served in the RLNI in whatever capacity. Inspirational. Greetings from Gibraltar.

I bloody love those boats. And their crews. Y'all are awesome :D
-
This is how every boat should be made. Respect to all RNLI CREW AND ALL THE VOLUNTEERS. AWESOME PEOPLE 👌 🙏✊🤝😊👍👏✌🤙🤘🥰❤

This is so impressive - I think the world of these life boat people - they are simply amazing what they do - So thank you old Seadog for a great video !!

I don't know whats more impressive: That the thing just refused to stay upside down (which is a good thing), or how readily it was able to float on its cabin for the moments it actually WAS upside down.

This is how the RNLI should clean the boats :D
-
I wanted to film inside it but they wouldn't let me!
-
I know the strops were conrolling her roll, but she was very reluctant to go over, and bloody quick to come up.
-
Just an indication how stable these vessels are, shes layed over more than 170 degrees and still needed to be pulled more in order to make a complete roll, safest boat in the world is the one that comes back to the upright after capsizing.
-
That was fun to watch. What a clever design!
-
All RNLI boats are built to this standard. Cheers.

I knew of such tests, but had never seen one. Surprised me a bit it did not go further into the water, then realized that sealed cabin must be really buoyant. Performed as it was supposed to, and is a really nice looker - I would love to own one.

I was sunning myself on the beach of Porthdinllaen on the Llyn Peninsula, back in June 2023, is the stunning weather. Once of the most picturesque beaches in the whole of Gwynedd, i didn't realise they had a Shannon moored nearby.
-
I hope to never need one , but that was awesome. As well as reassuring.
-
That is one serious craft, I take it she is self righting, she's even beautiful just to look at her, look after your craft & your craft will look after you, many thanks for psting,
