Stern recovery would be impractical due to the tidal flow across the launch/recovery beach. The Atlantic 85 is not designed to go far in reverse, the lifeboat would soon fill with water
Wow, the rnli are amazing! Gonna do my appreticeship in marine engineering then hopefully after im gonna join RNLI and train with these guys or torbay!

Great video - do you guys ever get problems with cars blocking the road between the station and the launching point?

Would it not be more practical doing a stern recovery before-hand? Or do u have to recover with the bow on an 85?
