Life boats and rescue boats are two different things

RNLI is an amazing institution. Volunteers, publicans, shop workers, fishermen, posties etc crew these vessels at a moments notice. Funded by public donations. True heroes.

The RNLI shows what can be done when the sole purpose of the organization is the provision of life saving services. My cousin is one of their full time fundraisers and I was a member when I lived in the UK. I joined after I called them out one filthy night when I saw a red flare over the Sound of Sleat in a major storm one January night. I watched them heading out from Mallaig and reaching the casualty. Next day I went into Mallaig and saw they had rescued a wooden fishing boat that had stove in some planks cutting too close to the Point of Sleat lighthouse. That was the old Arun class lifeboat, "Davina and Charles Matthew Hunter". And guess who paid for that one.

At 0:26 you introduce the USCG 47' lifeboat with an awesome picture of the USCG 52' lifeboat Victory coming out of Yaquina.

My favorite lifeboat is one I never have to use

Most Rescue vessels of the severn-class are now equipped with the even more powerful MTU 10V2000 M94 with 1600 hp each. The narrative is very much focused on the british RNLI and the equipment they use, but there are others out there. The german DGzRS for example with its largest rescue cruiser, the Hermann Marwede or the very new 28m-class.

The newer free fall lifeboats with rearward facing seats are fine, but some of the older forward facing ones can be a real pain to get into.

That was a very interesting video. Thanks.

The Vanguard shown can be used for off shore oil rigs. A UKposts channel featured one he purchased that was once on a rig. It had been stored over 20 years so needed some tlc!

Safe-Haven Marines "Thunder-Child" is seriously one of the most brutally beautiful service Boats out on the Water.

What the video doesn't cover and other commenters have touched on is that the RNLI is a (mostly) volunteer staffed charity that goes out into the seas around the British Isles as a search and rescue service. The north sea isn't a fun place to be when the weather is bad but they will still jump in a lifeboat and go looking for anyone in distress when the call comes in. Kind of like an unpaid coastguard really. One of the few "big name" charities that I'll give money to.

These boats are in a class of their own!👍🏼👌🏼

I've donated to the RNLI all my working life and will do for as long as I can after I retire. It's long history is the stuff of legend.

I've piloted the SPHL and they are great for emergency craft, we dropped 40 feet headfirst into the water from a gantry and as it emerged from underneath it zoomed off in a straight line away from the danger, (this wasn't an emergency it was my offshore OPITO certificate course) very easy to steer, and lifting out the water could not be easier, just hook it up and lift,

Wow, this is amazing and life will be ease for who is buying one of such boats and sail strait to the Cap Horn ;)

A lot of the clips are not lifeboats , but patrol boats.

3 or 4 of the previously mentioned boats never one time had a clear view of the vessels. It was like watching g a strobe light

Absolutely 100% correct.

A free-falling lifeboat is fun to be in. :) We did that before we got our off-shore certification.

Respect and love for America, Europe, WEST 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️

To avoid confusion it’s the RNLI Severn not seven. RNLI craft are named after U.K. rivers in this case the River Severn on the west coast of England which leads to the city of Bristol

Glad I have models of them

Amusing story. If people anything about rogue waves? Which craft would survive in such conditions and passengers?

Loved to see one of these tested against big surf like jaws or something

Id like to see that viking inflatable life raft in rough ocean conditions rather than a perfectly calm test lake. Doubt it would last 5 minutes

Big thanks always to RNLI. Funded purely by donations, and operated by volunteers. This is Britain at its best. For those in peril on the seas.

Love how most of these rescue boats have Garman OLED cockpit display systems

I would consider quite a few of these as rescue craft or patrol boats instead of life boats. To me, a life boat is something launched from a ship or boat to save lives of crew and passengers after said ship or boat is no loner sea worthy or there is a threat on board such as fire or some other hazzardous situation. I do like that all of them are motorized since escaping a sinking ship is useless if you are stuck drifting with the current possibly dying from dehydration, starvation or exposure long before being found.

The Best High Saffety Work Program Beautiful

No lifeboat is any good if the people onboard a watercraft/ship can't get to it and into it. Ask the crewmen on the RORO car carrier Fremantle Highway that caught fire a couple weeks ago. Crew Members had to jump off the side of the ship because they were forward, the lifeboat was on the stern and the fire between them and the lifeboat. Several were severely injured and one died.

Very few lifeboats were shown in this video.

There's no doubt that all the braches of our military are incredible fit and extremely well trained !!! But in my mind , its the coast guard are hands down the craziest !!!!! What they do and in the conditions they do it in are just without words!!!!! The coast guard pass up the word skilled as soon as they sign the paper to inlist !!!!

What is the battery longevity when under power on the all electric ?

A lifeboat and you're worried about zero emissions ??? Give me a break !

Top of the list is the one that snaps your neck to get u in the water 😂 😂

The United States Coast Guard had two of the boats that could do a 360 roll and right it's self i was told the dishes didn't stay on the table - They were stationed at Depoe Oregon - Good group of guys they are there when you need them

A “lifeboat” is any vessel designed and used expressly to save people in distress at sea. In the UK, shore based lifeboats (RNLI) predate those carried aboard ships. These boats are not “patrol boats” because they only respond to actual emergencies, being crewed by volunteers who have regular jobs. In fact the L in RNLI stands for “lifeboat” and all their craft are land based. So, while the USCG Cutters are not specifically lifeboats because they perform other functions, too, the RNLI vessels were called lifeboats before that name was used for boats carried aboard ships.

I would be happy if the lifeboat was safer than the one sinking .

2 1) Coast Guard 47 ft 2) Shannon-class lifeboat

Amazing

when it comes in real life how usefull are lifeboats then? when useing lifeboats it is in stormy weather and sinking ships

Nice to see one of our local ferries in this video, MV bute or MV argyle, Caledonian macbrayne Ltd.

That lifeboat that rights itself at the beginning of the video is what you want when the 2012 disaster strikes!

Cat diesels or MTU?

You the best bro peralatan yang serba canggih semua ada

Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video but are any of these lifeboats used on a cruise ship something most traveller's dont think of?

Why don't they ever show you the inside of these floating cork lifeboats???

On the large life rafts with so many on board. Hope they are spotted & recovered quickly. Rations would be sparse normally but in such large rafts? Plus, what goes in also goes out. Coordination of large numbers? If all maritime trained - some issues but can be managed. If not maritime trained or even to an "awareness level"? That could be a real challenge. If in strong weather too? Need to have some clever, adaptable, coaches for crew assigned to each "soft vessel" (raft). The people skills could be almost more important if not equally important to maritime.

Check out the NSRIs new ORC.

That RNLY7 would beat my Orka 535 boat for fishing at sea !! Wishing that it would be my next fishing boat for going to sea. Simply a beauty. My Orka has two outside engines. A 60 Hp and a 6 Hp for emergency to get me home. But that takes foreever i have experienced. So that extra speed would also be very welcome. Now to catch some fish. That has been worthless for almost 20 years. 😪 But it is much fun to be at sea.

As ships get larger, larger LBs will be needed. If they can't be loaded extremely fast and get away from the ship, they'll become part of the tragedy. So, speed of loading vs size / capacity, is an important factor. Get people in-and-away, asap. Also I noticed a max speed of these design is about 25knts. So, 300 off shore will mean 12 hours to rescue. How about a free-fall airplane launched LB?

I would like to find in my ship, in an emergency in to the Ocean, the last one of the Lifeboat.

I liked the orange one

I don't think #1,#5, #7, #9 are lifeboats, they could be patrol or rescue or all weather transportation boats. What's your definition of a lifeboat? Lifeboats are those used to sustain life for a relatively short period of time until they can be rescued.

Life boat and a rescue craft are different

Good one we think the same 😃😃😃😃👍👍👍☘️

-- Need to read up on how these systems self right (flip over when capsized). Unless someone would like to give me the quick version here. Building a plane now, looking to build a boat from scratch when the aircraft is shaken down.

Don’t compare SAR to Life boat’s and Life raft’s. It’s not the same and they are all built to different purpose’s.

It's fantastic

You cant compare emergency life boats with coastguard life boats, the "Emergency Life Boats" are strictly there for emergencies and safety of life at sea and getting away from the hazard providing the most life support as possible. the Coastguard "Life Boats" are rescue boats, boats to save lives. This is like comparing average people with zero medical background and a basic first aid kit at home, and an Emergency Room Doctor. The two are very different "things". Also, Pilot boats are similar aspects in design for Coastguard "Life Boats" but also used in extremely different jobs/roles. They are literally used to transport "pilots" (A senior harbour master/qualified and heavily experienced person to board incoming/outgoing commercial/government vessels. As well... again, you cannot compare Emergency Lifeboats and Emergency Life Rafts in the same video. Yes, same purpose but very different backgrounds and purpose of issuance.

I want to make a super safe, sleeper luxury house-boat

Was it "Norsafe" or "Notsafe" painted on the side of that orange lifeboat? Who came up such name?

Video seems to confuse lifeboats with rescue vessels.

Why are pilot boats included in a list of “life boats”?

It would be all the RNLI boats.

Which of these can survive a 'Perfect Storm' movie?🤔

3:53 "a payload capacity of 600kg" "can accomodate 6 passengers and 4 crew". They would need to be pretty skinny people. 60kg each is already way under average weight for an adult and when they have all the gear on the crew plus usually soaked passengers they are going to be a lot more than 60kg each.

Some of these are "Rescue boats" not "Life boats"?

I just cant see the Norse being used properly in an emergency - would be accidentally or panic launched before everyone is secure

A rescue vessel is not an life boat. Ur title misleads. A common UKposts thread.

Name tells life story.

Liked the US MLB

The safest bus service in the world

We needs them hovercrafts on all Airliners. ✈️

# 2 looks like an over complicated mess. I don’t think it would go smoothly in an actual emergency. Everyone hold on while we inflate this massive raft and get 200 people on one boat. Especially in rough seas.

Then all boats should be made this way

Excelente

These life boats can fly like sea planes and reach any drowning cruises and aircraft carriers and ships in minutes ai

How do you make a video about lifeboats without knowing what a lifeboat is?

That Coast Guard boat might right itself when capsized ,but I'll bet the crew won't be on it when it rights itself, all the tests were done without crews aboard. Another milestone for the safety of an empty boat.

Not convinced about a large inflatable lifeboat can take in a possible rough sea amidst chaos of evacuation and a sinking ship to the boot.

Thank you for not understanding what a lifeboat is. But at least they are interesting.

It would be more understandable if you used mph and miles rather than knots and nautical miles.

The inflatable ones guarantee company for when your 100+ passenger sinks.

Also a submarine with a rich Norwegian owner n skipper unless he happens to be a serialkiller

Do a video putting all these lifeboats to the test?

The last one fully electric what if there's a radio wave that knocks out electricity😅

2:16 There is a difference between MOTORS and ENGINES that you seemed to have missed because you seem to be using these two words interchangeably.

Superb Superb

🤔 Video Game Controller Sold Separately.

A lifeboat doesn't launch from a fing parking lot. What language led me here?

Realy I like this safety ships

I have edited this video.❤

I question your definition of a lifeboat. In my mind a lifeboat is an emergency escape/survival craft. Not professionally manned patrol vessels.

Good movie sand any of those in real storm and we will see. Survive 10-100 big vaves it’s 1 story survive 5 hours storm is different story, best way to survive in storm never get in the

I like how you don't have enough hovercraft footage so you run the same scene twice just flip it horizontally (scene of launching from car park). Was this video generated by AI? Was that even a real human voiceover?

6:16 thats an MTU engine

these plastic craftboats can survuve shark bite?

Talk about a confusing video. Mini video clips had absolutely no relationship to the voiceover. Whoever put this together needs to take a basic video editing class.
