Right you brave keyboard heroes. Just pop down to your nearest RNLI station and repeat the mindless comments you posted here. Would love to watch that.

Genius idea to recovering several tons of boat on sand. Well done RNLI everyone of you are brave and courageous. Thank you for saving lives at sea

Phenomenal engineering.

An incredible and very well designed and engineered solution to a complex set of requirements.

An amazing piece of kit. The launching is much much quicker. The problem with Skegness is that there is no harbour and at low tide the sea is a long way from the station.

I’m very thankful that the people risking their lives to save lives have the very best equipment.

That is real life Thunderbirds stuff. Very cool.

Jeez times have changed in Skeggy! That’s an amazing piece of equipment. When I was a child we always visited the old life boat station.

Amazing recovery - amazing equipment to do the job.

What an amazing piece of equipment. In situations where the tide goes out so far they had to get very inventive,. Thanks for posting.

The RNLI are 200 years old this year. I am sure they would appreciate some of the useful advice given in some of the comments, after all the armchair experts are invaluable and full of knowledge.

Ingenious, should be rather 'exciting' in a full swell. Long Live the RNLI.

Fantastico!! un sistema per lasciare la spiaggia integra 👍👍

That is a stunning machine having to operate on that surface and carry the weight of the lifeboat.

Awesome video

In some locations this is the only way to get the boat out of the sea, then back to the building that stores them like in Llandudno north Wales

That certainly was interesting. 🍻😁

Well done !!!

Innovative design. How well does it perform in a storm?

Hey,attach the tracks to the boat, like landgear. ?

Give generously, as they do.

I cannot believe some of the crass comments made on this topic. I just hope the dimwits that made them don't need the RNLI to rescue them one day. Jock M

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Thecrews of RNLI need all our help and support. Remember it’s the crews that save lives etc. please keep up the great work. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I wouldn't do their job as when things go wrong they end up in court now!!!! They volunteer too!!!!

What is the point of the 'bed' rotating 180 degrees? It seems like an unnecessary complication (thing to break).

Do you know the brand of boat with the 3 x 300 hp looks very nice ?

What an unwieldy contraption

be a hell of a lot harder in a storm with a lot of surf

😊👍👍👍👍

Safe assumption that the recovery apparatus cost more than the vessel?

Kapal yang sangat Canggih dan mantap dibidang nya

Sometimes the lifeboat is used in rough stormy weather when waves are pounding the shore lifting the stern up off the mud and allowing the broadside of the boat to react in the 30 MPH wind. Me thinks this staged demo would look a whole lot different.

The recovery unit must have been designed by an individual drinking a lot of cheap booze because it is defiantly out of the box. Amazing machine.

Be interesting to see what happens when it is rough.

Really surprised by all of the less than favorable comments about this rig! I don’t have a dog in this fight and not even sure where this was filmed, but just from a strictly mechanical perspective that set up does not look like it was made with some parts from the local hardware store 😂😂 Simply put that shit cost some big bucks and, has it shown to be worth the price of its intended purpose of saving lives ?? Sounds as though some people feel there is a more nefarious agenda than what it was initially intended for!!?? 😳

One of the best endowed charities in the UK. Hence the proliferation of expensive non-standard designs and engineering prototypes.

Interestingly, if you watch this video at 2x speed, the process seems to happen in a calm & timely manor !

Well done, you completely missed the beaching.

Looks expensive

I see a million points of failer

Never have seen anything so bizarre, glad that's not my boat!

they don't need to do this in Dover, because its always in use, hired out to UK Coastguard and Border Force on Contract, aiding and abetting Illegal Immigration for PROFIT !

Where are their migrant passengers?

the machine was originally designed and manufactured for the purpose of mother in law recovery. in America, we use donuts, alcohol, meat snacks. you won't find ONE of these machines here. if you fellas would teach the boat drivers to pull up to a dock.... unless of course they are women....in which case all this makes perfect sense. I'm working on my routine...all week...I'll be here....

we need bigger boats to get more imigrants on to our shores.

Defund the RNLI water taxi's.

What an absolutely ridiculous way to launch and retrieve a boat!

Yeah I read the comment he is being a wise ass But he's right Just take a look what's heading towards Florida

Need to skuttle the boat and save the tax payer money on hotel fees all this equipment paid for by british public and now responsible for brining in hundreds economic migrants who are destroying british culture and society very sad state of affairs ....

What a completely stupid waste of time and money

What a complete waste of time and money. Wake up UK, the wheel has already been invented

What a joke and waste of money... Where are the large standard tractors that just pull the boat onto the beach and then onto a trailer...

Good toorage tide goes out a hell of a long way, best thing in world RNLI, just try loosing a boat without a RNLI.
