Last night our All Weather Lifeboat Crew received their new Helly Hansen crew kit that will be used in all RNLI Lifeboat Stations. The latest technology is incorporated into this clothing to ensure our crews are kept warm and dry in all conditions. This kit which costs £45,000 for our station alone comes from the generosity of our supporters and donors.

Hastings ALB was requested to launch earlier today after reports came through of a group of kayakers potentially in difficulty between Norman’s Bay and Hastings.
RNLI Eastbourne had already launched and was heading east so the ALB was was tasked to search westwards from the station.
In rough seas the two ALBs and rescue helicopter 163 searched the area after one kayaker was seen to be heading ashore, and a second was seen and followed in to ensure they were safe. More were met by HM Coastguard - Bexhill ashore at #bexhill
With those ashore confirming that all of the group were now safe, all assets were stood down to return to their respective stations.

Well done to some of our volunteer crew who undertook Bobcat assessments today with RNLI machinery assessor Paul Watling. We are pleased to say all passed . Special thanks to Tom and Liam for acting as safety banksmen throughout the assessments in this horrible weather. 👍
