Padstow RNLI Lifeboat www.facebook.com/PadstowLifeboat Updated by our resident mechanics and crew of the Padstow Lifeboat. If you have any good pictures, stories or even some videos, please post them here for everyone to see!
The RNLI took over the station in 1856. In 1899 a new steam lifeboat was provided and the station's first motor lifeboat was commissioned in 1929. A new boat house and roller slipway were built at Hawker's cove for a second motor lifeboat in 1931. A further boathouse and 73 meter slipway ensued in 1967 and were later adapted for the station's Tyne class boat. Completion of the new award-winning boathouse slipway for Padstow and naming of its new £2.5M Tamar class ON-1283 (16-04) Spirit of Padstow took place in 2006
