Lifeboat 52-02 is the former St Peter Port, Arun class lifeboat. We are the UK’s only floating lifeboat experience. New south coast home details to follow.
@claudelittner - as a thankyou for retweeting our posts - would be great to see you at Poole RNLI college over the 18th/19th May, would be honoured to give you a guided tour of our lifeboat 😊
Some footage from our weekend leg from Eastbourne to Cowes. Big thankyou to @NewhavenRNLI @LhamptonRNLI@litharbour for your escorts along the route as we head for Poole for @RNLI 200
First leg completed this weekend ( Heybridge to Burnham) as we move ‘Sir Willie’ south to be part of the @RNLI flotilla on 19th May. Very lucky to have been able to assist @BurnhamRNLI today with some training.
We’ll be stopping off at different marinas over coming weeks
@RamsgateRNLI Good afternoon, we are bringing the Sir William
Arnold lifeboat to Ramsgate for the Easter weekend - as we make our way south. We plan to arrive on the 30th March - (time tbc) and we’ll open for visitors and guided tours over the Easter weekend. We depart 2nd April.
It isn’t very often you see Santa Claus at the helm of a lifeboat?
Here he is behind the wheel of the Sir William Arnold, as we arrive with the great man to bring some festive cheer to those who’d turned up at Heybridge Basin today@rnli
Today I attended the launch of the @MetTaskforce@MPSonthewater new launch named after a much respected friend and colleague - Tim Ruprecht. He died following a battle against @ProstateUK cancer and would want me to remind men to have your checks. My Dad would say the same.
We’re pleased to be supporting this event at the Plume Academy on the 18th March - tickets still available. All money raised will go to the Maldon branch of the RNLI @Plume_Principal @RNLI@BBCEssex@itvanglia @Rayradioessex @maldonstandard @maldonmuseum @claudelittner@Maldon_
