Members will be receiving your copy soon and we’re pleased to announce the publication of our LIFEBOAT ENTHUSIASTS’ SOCIETY HANDBOOK 2021.
Do you want to know what the lifeboat numbers relate to and the status of the current RNLI Lifeboat fleet and retired lifeboats back to the late C19th? Purchase this 122-page handbook and you can quickly find details of each lifeboat on service, and more.
This new 2021 edition is the most complete guide available for anyone interested in lifeboat stations, lifeboats, hovercraft and launching vehicles.
It’s the perfect companion for visits to the coast. It includes an after-service list of retired all-weather lifeboats, showing last-reported locations. The handbook also lists lifeboats both pre and post the RNLI numbering system, plus all the boats that have served at both open and closed stations. We have to admit to a “deliberate” mistake In regards to one of the back cover photos . . . Can you spot it?😉

If not you can purchase one for £7 including postage by sending a cheque made payable to ‘RNLI’ to: Tony Denton, Dawn, Upper Battlefield, Shrewsbury. SY4 4AA. Why not join the society and get the handbook and 3 Lifeboats Past and Present magazines annually for £22 (£30 overseas).
