Welcome to the forum young sir.

Chris has done some work for us (all be it not skippering) and I would happily provide references to his good work ethics etc.

His post slightly undersells himself as he is a Lifeboat Senior Cox and has thousands and thousands of hours at the helm in all conditions. He did his YM Shorebased with us and on all accounts breezed it.

Cox, that'd be on an ALB?

Its on an Independant Lifeboat 7.4m rib on call to the Coastguard 24/7 - currently on 123 incidents so far this year
143 last year making us the 5th busiest in the country 2008
There are around 50 Independant Lifeboats round the country

Thought it couldn't be an RNLI one as the senior helmsman position doesn't exist.

Chewy
There are approx 60 Independent Lifeboats around the country and they don't all have the same positions as the RNLI.

That's part of teh fun of being independant - the kit is sourced and supplied to the needs of the work carried out locally and not as part of a large service contract that supples the same to all.

Have a look at the web site and you'll see a range of toys - all in the name of safety and rescue that you're unlikely to see together else where

Some nice gear one there, can I have a go on the big Avon!

GAFIRS are always happy to recieve visitors and show people about - if you drop Chris a PM I suspect he may be able to sort out some thing for you

It's a fun beast to throw about - although I personally prefer the smaller boats - not enough regular time on the jet to get profecent with it

I'll be down south at some point this summer so will pop in, thanks for the offer.
