Hi,
This is the complete lifeboat launching rig currently in use at Skegness on the Lincolnshire east coast of England.
The trailer has powered crawler tracks to aid travelling over the sand and into the sea.
All the lifeboat crews are unpain volenteers, and all the money to run the system is raised by public donations - no government funding !!!
Cheers David

Not to outdo the British, but this gives you an impression of how it is done in a similar fashion on the Dutch beaches.

Would be interesting seeing a picture of one on the beach and in the water.
Your push plow was most interesting.

It's good to see that the health is improving in your family and that you're back to posting some very interesting pictures.

Best regards,

Hi Dave seen this outfit many times as Skegness is our nearest beach. The first tractor they used at Skegness was a Case D on Roadless tracks. It came to my village here in Nottinghamshire when it was made redundant in the early 1970s but the man who had it sold to pay his debts. I have since lost track of it, if it reappears i will let you know. Get well soon. MJ

That is interesting. looks like everything is designed to launch it. Is it typically pulled then pushed in or would limited access require pushing the boat all the way to the water?
