RNLI Lizard Lifeboat Station
The Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall has one of the most remote and treacherous coastlines in the UK making the Lizard lifeboat station one of the most important lifeboat stations in the country.
The station's design had to safeguard the environment and re-use as much existing structure as possible. Set at the base of a 45m cliff, a twin-engine Tamar class lifeboat sits ready for launch in the boathouse. When called out, it slides down a slipway into deep water.

Description
-----------------
Model Scale 1:16
Length 1000mm
Beam 320mm
Displ. approx. 7.5 kg
The Tamar class is the result of several years of research and development by the RNLI to produce the next generation of slipway-launched lifeboat. It is virtually unsinkable and if it capsizes in the stormy seas around the British Isles, it will right itself within a few seconds. The lifeboat includes the computerised Systems and Information Management System (SIMS) that enables crew to control many of the lifeboat's functions remotely from the safety of their seats. Other features include advanced ergonomics that reduce the impact on the crew as the lifeboat crashes through waves, and a powered Y-class boat stored behind a transom door to allow immediate deployment. The Y-boat is accessed by lifting a section of the rear deck, then launched and recovered on to a ramp provided by the lowered transom door.
The kit contains all the required parts to build the model:
Two glassfibre mouldings: the hull and the deck
Prop-shafts, propellers, brass rudders; a bow-thruster tube
Cnc-cut and printed styrene for the construction of the cabin with detailed interior
A set of fittings and stanchions manufactured from high grade cast alloy
Three large frets of etched brass components including detailed window frames, instrumentation, interior detail etc.
Pre-formed mast arches from brass tube
Vac-formed styrene radar, bow fender, liferaft boxes, liferings, filler bays and hose reel
A vac-formed styrene kit for the Y-class boat with Lettering and Numbers
Self-adhesive Lifeboats lettering and RNLI flags
Over 70 construction drawings and main plans
The Y-boat compartment under the rear deck is an optional fitment with a choice of building the deck door as a one-piece removable unit or with folding sections. The transom door can be represented by a score in the GRP or drawn in with a permanent marker pen. The more experienced model maker will no doubt wish to build a working transom door however no details are given in the kit. We have ensured that the steering gear is below the Y-boat deck level should the modeller wish to house the Y-boat below decks.
Not supplied in the kit: The hull & cabin roof numbers and lettering for any Tamar in the fleet (available from Maritime Models, maritime-models.co.uk). Paints, adhesives and tools will be required to complete.

Places to see in ( Tighnabruaich - UK )
Tighnabruaich is a village on the Cowal peninsula, on the western arm of the Kyles of Bute in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. In 2011 the population was 660. It is west of Glasgow and north of the Isle of Arran. The road to Ormidale was built in the late-1960s and until then the village was more reliant on the sea for the transport of passengers and freight.
A pier was possibly built in the 1830s by the Castle Steamship Company, a forerunner of MacBrayne. Its was a stopping place for paddle steamers and Clyde puffers. The wooden pier was rebuilt in 1885 by the Tighnabruaich Estate who owned it from 1840 until 1950. George Olding owned it until 1965 when it became the responsibility of the local council.
Passenger services on and around the Clyde were developed after the PS Comet was introduced into service in 1812 and tourism developed with the introduction of cruises through the Kyles around Bute, to Arran and along Loch Fyne. The pier is used by the paddle steamer Waverley. Its Royal National Lifeboat Institution inshore lifeboat station currently has an Atlantic 85 type lifeboat and tractor on station.
Tighnabruaich is popular for sailing and yachting and has a sailing school. Shinty is the major sport in the village which is home to Kyles Athletic who have won more Camanachd Cups than any other team apart from Newtonmore and Kingussie. Tighnabruaich was voted the prettiest village in Argyll, Lomond and Stirlingshire in 2002 and featured in the More4/Channel 4 programme Penelope Keith's Hidden Villages (Series 3, Episode 2).

Newhaven Lifeboat on a High Line Exercise with Coastguard Helo Rescue 104
A video showing the method of transferring a casualty from a moving RNLB to a Coastguard or RAF helo. This method is called a High Line transfer. A weighted bag is attached to a line and lowered from the helo. The line is then attached to the winch line by the helo crew. Once the winch line is on the deck of the Lifeboat, this can be attached to the casualty who is then raised off the deck. The casualty is under a greater degree of control as the High Line removes them spinning due to down draft from the rotors.
With thanks to Solent CG Helo and her crew for assisting in this exercise.
