With the recent arrival of their new Shannon lifeboat ‘RNLB Decibel Too’ our crew were able to participate in procedures and techniques used on board a different class of lifeboat, including anchoring, man overboard recovery and navigation.

Here at The Lizard Lifeboat Station and at Falmouth we are joining together as part of a multi team liaison programme and two members from each station will exercise at their flank stations for the remainder of the summer.
