LATEST NEWS: Busy year so far for Falmouth's two Lifeboats
2011 has been a busy year for Falmouth’s two lifeboats – by the August Bank Holiday they have been called out 72 times (All Weather Lifeboat 15 times and Inshore Lifeboat 57 times) – this equals the total number of calls in 2010 and there is another four months to go!!.
The two lifeboats have spent over 112 hours at sea on service calls, with the inshore lifeboat clocking up 79 hours and the all weather lifeboat 33 hours. In addition our volunteer crew spend many more hours at sea carrying out training to ensure they are ready for what ever the next call may bring.
Be it day or night our volunteer lifeboat crew are prepared to drop what ever they are doing to respond and we would like to say big thank you to their families and employers for their support through out the year.
