Selsey's Tyne class "Voluntary Worker" made the last slipway launch at the station on April 1st 2017. The Tyne will be moored afloat until the new Shannon class boat arrives in June. The Shannon will be carriage launched from a new beachfront boathouse.

I visited the boathouse a few summers ago and enjoyed a warm welcome. I had an interesting chat about the boat with the mechanic. A bit of history passes, but the RNLI continue to invest in improving the service. Apparently the new Shannons are well liked by the crews working them.
