The new Tamar-class lifeboat will be able to reach casualties much more quickly than our present Tyne-class boat, and give our volunteer crew even greater safety during their “shouts”.
This will mean that The Lizard Lifeboat has the very latest and best in technology and facilities in a boathouse to match its
magnificent surroundings. |

Lifeboats of the RNLI have been saving lives at The Lizard for 150 years and now, in 2009, our lifeboat station is celebrating that milestone with its most exciting leap forward
for decades.
The Lizard Lifeboat is to have a new Tamar-class lifeboat to replace our
22 year-old
Tyne-class boat in early 2012, and our current 50-year-old boathouse at Kilcobben Cove will have to be demolished to
accommodate the new boat. |
|
The exposed coasts around The Lizard and the brave 150-year history of the local lifeboat make ours one of Britain’s best-known and most cherished RNLI stations, and already we have had heart-warming responses to the news of a new boat, both within our local community and further afield. They have come from such varied sources as local places of worship, London Marathon runners, community organisations and many, many individuals. |
