Home » Mumbles Lifeboat Crew

Since the RNLI was founded, its lifeboats have saved over 137,000 lives (as of November 2006).

The RNLI operates five classes of inshore lifeboats, both inflatable boats and RIBs, of 20-40 knots (37-74 km/h), and six classes of all-weather motor life boats with maximum speeds of 16-25 knots (30-46 km/h). It maintains 332 lifeboats based at 233 lifeboat stations.

It also has four hovercraft, introduced in 2002, allowing rescue on mud flats and in river estuaries inaccessible to conventional boats.

The crews of the lifeboats are almost entirely volunteers. The 4,600 boat crew members, including over 300 women, are alerted by pagers backed up by maroons and attend the lifeboat station when alerted.
