Back

Our station all-weather lifeboat 12-003 'Doris M Mann of Ampthill' is back on service after spending some months in the outer harbour while repairs were made to a leaking engine exhaust which required custom parts to be produced. Former Hoylake boat, relief lifeboat 12-005 'Lady of Hilbre' filled in from August onwards, launching twice on service. A volunteer crew took 12-005 back from Wells to Ramsgate on 23rd November, stopping briefly at Lowestoft for fuel and a cup of tea during a 9 1/2 hour passage, returning by road the next day.
