Five of our new crew are spending two days at the RNLI College this week and taking part in the Crew Emergency Procedures course. Today they spent some time in the sea survival pool and took part in an Atlantic capsize. Sat in the boat, waves rolling as the boat turned over here is what happened ........ | RNLI Poole Lifeboat Station

Our volunteers train hard so they are ready for when a call comes in. In this video, we hope the crew never need these skills as they practice what to do if they capsize the D class inshore lifeboat and find themselves in the water. Training like this keeps our crews safe and is only possible thanks to generous donations. If you can spare even £1 please donate via the link below. https://www.facebook.com/donate/1018969415592989/ | RNLI Poole Lifeboat Station

Were you wondering how the Shannon class from RNLI Hastings Lifeboat Station managed to recover so quickly from the knockdown we all saw in Storm Ciara? We caught up with Senior Naval Architect, Ed Davies, on the science behind this lifesaving feature. | RNLI
