Three pictures that show the new style of lifejacket. Two are of those that will be provided for the volunteer crews of the all-weather lifeboats, while the third photograph is of the design to be used by the crews of the RNLI’s inshore lifeboats. Please credit RNLI/Nigel Millard.
Volunteers at the 35 RNLI lifeboat stations in the south west* are supporting a campaign to raise the £220,000 needed to buy them all new lifejackets. Many will be using the charity’s annual SOS day on 27 January 2012 to collect the funds needed. The two brand new types of lifejacket were designed through joint collaboration between the RNLI and the manufacturer to meet the charity’s current search and rescue requirements.
