@Jelmerzzz Speed is one thing - but these have got more power - this, and the Severn Class RNLI lifeboat, 1 metre bigger than this - has enough power to tow a tanker.
hey have bouys at the end of the slipway bow and stern to which they tie a rope to, then they line them selves up in line with the slipway using the tide. A launcher will then pass the wire cable either by boat or a throwing line crew will tie it to the boats towing bollards then up she goes. Fairly straight forward in calm waters, but when its blowing now theres another thing.
You all fucked off from the lifeboat station like a bunch of fucking fuckers. Well tidy mun. Well fucking tidy.
