- In February 2020, footage of Hastings' Shannon class lifeboat in a near-capsize during Storm Ciara went viral online.
With the help of naval architect Ed Davies and crew member Andy Doe, this video takes us back into the storm and showcases the amazing lifeboat technology that enabled the crew to make it back to shore shaken, but unharmed.

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, lifeboat crews around the UK and Ireland are ready to launch to help those in need. Whether you're stuck on a sinking ship, cut off by a rapidly rising tide, or in the water and close to drowning, RNLI crew members will drop everything to come to your rescue. 95% of RNLI lifeboat crews and station staff are volunteers.
But it’s not just lifeboats. RNLI lifeguards patrol 248 beaches across the UK and Channel Islands, keeping people safe, providing safety advice and rescuing those in trouble. Education volunteers visit schools and swimming clubs to help teach the next generation how to enjoy the water safely. And volunteer fundraisers and shop workers give up their time to generate vital funds. The RNLI is also working to help communities around the world that are most at risk of drowning.
If you spot someone in trouble in the water, call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard.

This proves the Shannon is worth every penny of its £2m+ price tag. As for the crews their bravery is priceless. 👍
💛
Great comment, just wanted to point out a typo, you wrote „there“ instead of „their“
@dachshunds channel check on RNLI website and other sites if don't believe the price. The equipment and safety features will make up a big part of the cost.
@dachshunds channel yes, and it is a charity. This means no government funding
Hats off to all the crew that went out on that dreadful day, and a big THANK YOU to each and everyone of you that assist in making the RNLI world class.
Thank you Nick!
Your dedication and Bravery is second to none. Thank you for all you do. True Guardians of the Sea 🌊
Thank you 😊
It is a level of bravery to aspire too, and as a seafarer it is always comforting to know that the finest among us are ready to help in our moments of greatest need, thankfully equipped with the best gear. Thank you for your time, skill, and bravery!
Thanks so much for your kind words, we really do appreciate it!
I love the mix of math, engineering, training, and simple human resolve the RNLI evinces. The RNLI sailors show what is best in us. The schmuck that caused all of this grief made a horrible, selfish decision. I'm glad he survived, but he's rightly reviled for placing so many other souls in danger.
This incident makes clear the life and death decisions coxswains face in these treacherous conditions. Even bringing her home takes immense skill and experience. This near capsizing occurred as coxswain Roe tried to bring her onto her home shingle, as I recall. Thankfully all made it home safely, and lessons learned over many years by so many sailors and engineers, and by the many many different sea going organizations have led to a lifeboats as well built, as safe, and as seaworthy as the Shannon.
Remember seeing this on Saving Lives at Sea, which I'm addicted too. Incredible technology that saved the lives of the crew.
Thanks Ross, we're so pleased to hear you're a fan of Saving Lives at Sea and that you found this film! Please do subscribe for more films like this too 😉
@@rnli Subscribed and put an RNLI charity box in my shop.
Brilliant!
The Eastbourne D Class was capsized in the surf off Burling Gap a few days ago. The crew survived but the boat was damaged.
The crew on this boat are a credit the training and resources provided by the RNL. Respect. There have been great strides in the safety of the RNLI fleet throughout its evolution and I would imagine the advances made are due to learned experience. What, if anything, did your training or design teams learn from this shout.
Hi John, great question 😊 When rescues or incidents happen as an organisation we have various ways in which we learn from them, with regards this one in particular the boat performed as would be expected and there have been no immediate changes, although we are still looking at various aspects to see if there is more we can learn which would then drive change.
Great design , what a good job you all do.
Amazing bravery by the crew. Also an example of when people need to realise that their current decision needs to change instead of repeating the same pattern. I can see why someone wouldn't want a 2 hr trip in those conditions though. Thank you for all that you do.
Thank you, Robyn
Wonderful work guys, i've supported the RNLI since i was a kid and will continue into the future. Keep up the good work. Cheers
Thank you so much for your support Rupert!
Very brave men and women
anything will tip over if going side ways when a wave hits. i can remember this hitting the head lines and i just laughed if off knowing lifeboats are designed to barrel roll in the water and self rotate back up right. my uncle was a life boat crew for the humber.
Legends.❤️❤️❤️
It's got to be bad when the life boat crew are throwing up!!, if you've never been seasick I can assure you it's bloody terrible, drains all your energy and all you want to do is lie down and die, so well done guys, awesome job.
Been there, done that 🤮🤮🤮
I was kind of hoping that the RNLI, of all people, could spell UNDERWATER and BUOYANT. Never mind though, bravo to the crew of Hastings and those everywhere.
Coffee required in the video editing suite! But we're certainly 'buoyed' by all the positive comments and hope the typos didn't detract too much from this amazing story.
Is there a point where it’s too dangerous to send out the all weather lifeboat or are they truly all weather? Fantastic seamanship keeping that bow pointed in the right direction!
I think 'all weather' is quite literally ALL weather here. The boat is shut watertight whenever they are at sea, so it doesn't really matter how much it rolls and whether waves break over her or not. In theory she should always come back to the surface upright. I think the main limiting factor would be comfort. At some point the amount of rolling will become unbearable for the crew, preventing them from properly operating the boat. There is also a limit of 6 crew and 23 casualties according to Wikipedia, beyond that the boat doesn't self-right. But I think with 23 casualties you're probably already stacking people on top of each other inside.
Of course this is all just a guess on my part, purely based on my understanding of the engineering in this boat.
Simple answer? NO!
These men truly are the bravest of the brave.
@@AR1G3 I'd argue they do have a limit.
I would imagine the the limitations would come from the force of the waves and wind. Waves breaking can produce a huge amount of force, eventually those waves can cause physical damage to the boat.
And for wind, if the wind was strong enough, it could over power the boat so it's unable to maneuver, if the boat is close to shore, it could be serious damaged by the shallow waters or rocks.
Hi Sam. All-weather lifeboats (ALBs) are capable of high speed and can be operated safely in all weather conditions. They are inherently self-righting after a capsize and fitted with navigation, location and communication equipment. Big and bright, the sight of one of our all-weather lifeboats on the horizon has given hope to many.
However, there are a number of factors that are considered before launching to rescue, and the conditions and safety of crews are always of paramount importance.
@@AR1G3 I dont know where wikipedia got that info from. It is incorrect. As a former RNLI crew member, I can assure you that a shannon class would be a real pig to handle with pnly 6 crewmen.
As for where we could accommodate 23 casualties.......all I can say is we'd do it in dire emergency. But no one would have room to move.
Praise God and praises for these brave people. God bless you all.
But I don’t believe
@@HellO-gr2wx Maybe not. But I'll wager a kings ransom that when you are floating along,freezing cold, exhausted, in a rough sea , 5 miles from shore, you will be praying like a burning vicar.
I know I was when i got rescued. And that was only in the solent.
Huh the onboard cam looks much more mild than the shore cam
Valientes...👏👏👏🤘😘
The boat needs the people to design her. Then she needs a crew to be trained in all she has to offer. The crews all round the coast will get even more confidence in their boat after seeing and hearing this account. As always you all go above and beyond what is expected. The medals given are small physical Items but the skills, determination and pure guts cannot be written on a medal or letter of praise.
It is so refreshing to hear your praise for those valliant guys and gals ( yes, we do have female crewpersons). It astounds me that so many people take the lifeboats for granted. But, by gum, they sure change their tune after THEY have been rescued by us.
Think safe stay safe...especially near water.
Great video, but you might want to run those sub titles through a spell checker next time 😀
Amazing boats , I am told royal navy ships can right themselves also no body knew that
Heros...
Never really known what a 'hero' is....probably not us......we have a job to do and with luck.....we do it....then come back to a pint and bag of chips.....
@@dukesy1957 u are heros and thank u for what u do and I get to build the shannon in poole .... best job in the world building boats for heros I used to work on fishing boats until I went in a gale force 8/9 potting... I quit my job afterwards
And I am told that's who you have around Hastings now hastings life boat 2 of them
The thing that does not show up in this shortened video is that the boat was unable to maintain enough speed to beach safely. As they got into the surf the speed dropped dramatically so they were forced to turn round in the surf resulting in the boat being broadside to the large wave that nearly capsized the boat. I assume tha speed dropped as the water jets were sucking foam not water but have not seen any official explanation.
Hi John. The Hastings incident features prominently in this recent episode of Saving Lives at Sea, with crew members discussing exactly what happened that day. rnli.social/3aFdrRq
@@rnli They discussed the boat speed dropping as they ran towards the beach but did not explain why. They need to hit the beach at a reasonable speed to ensure the boat is clear of the surf and does not get rolled on the beach. They also reported they had quite a lot of water in the engine room - presumably the cameras in the engine room and the bilge alarms on the management system did their job followed by the bilge pumps removing it.
No boat or ship ever wants to turn beam on to a sea like that....that's the most dangerous position to be in......the water jets to give foam like that were obviously half out of the water....so forcing water and air out which gave the foam effect.....only way in seas like that is to keep head to sea so you ride over the wave ......does get a bit bumpy at times.....as for sea sickness......only guy who never gets that is because he or she has never been to sea.
But who took the video ?
Shaun the sheep at the helm ahahahahahhahahh
