Scarborough Lifeboat Back on Station

Wednesday, 23 December 2020 07:07

13-15 Frederick William Plaxton, Scarborough's all weather lifeboat, has returned home just in time for Christmas.

The vessel has been at the RNLI headquarters in Poole having an upgrade to the jet systems which propel her through the water.

The relief vessel left Scarborough at 7am yesterday and the volunteer crew of six passaged to Hartlepool where 13-15 was waiting. The crew then returned to Scarborough arriving back on the beach at around 1pm.

Wake from Scarborough RNLI Lifeboat

The Scarborough team say..

We're pleased to have her home and look forward to returning to training in the new year.

If you find yourself in the water unexpectedly, fight your instincts and float until the effects of cold water shock pass.

If you see someone else in trouble at the coast, call 999 and ask for the coastguard.

This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.

If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.

A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
