The repairs were carried out at the All-Weather Lifeboat Centre (ALC) – the centre which helps build and maintain the RNLI’s fleet of lifeboats.

On social media, Swanage Lifeboat Station said:

“Here is our inshore lifeboat ‘Phyl & Jack’ being lifted back into the water at the RNLI in Poole following some repairs.
