Stuart Adams - Coxswain:

Hello everyone, well another season is about to begin, however looking back to last year it was great to see so many visitors here at the station from home and abroad, especially on our Open Day.

We are so grateful to all of you who come to support us at our events and especially those of you that have held sponsored events on your own and then have donated your proceeds to us… Thank you!

Well, what's new for this year? We have added some new events to this year's fundraising calendar click HERE to see the listing.

The Souvenir shop will be selling snacks and drinks throughout the year.

Anyway must go now and I look forward to seeing you all again and hopefully new faces as well, so bye for now and keep safe.

On Monday the 30th of June the demasted 12 m yacht 'Quintette Too' called the Dungeness RNLI lifeboat for assistance when it developed intermittent engine problems, 9 miles south of Dungeness Point on passage from Holland to Brighton with two persons on board.

Coxswain Stuart Adams, in charge of the RNLI lifeboat put deputy coxswain Mark Richardson aboard the casualty to assess the situation and decided to tow the yacht to safe anchorage in Sovereign Harbour at Eastbourne.
