If it didn’t comeback it could resolve any possible ageist problems.How about going out in the other slightly bigger rubber dinghy with a crew over 55 years old.

From experience trying to tow keel a boat with a dinghy is not easy. One solution is to moor the dinghy alongside and use it as the motive power whilst the casualty provides steerage but this is not practical with any sea running.Fancy putting off to the Outer Gabbard to pull a boat off in the gathering gloom and a rising wind in a rubber dinghy that is kept in a shed the size of an ISO container?
No? Nor me.
I suppose the answer is in the name, Inshore. The Outer Gabbard is hardly inshore so the Clacton or Harwich boat would attend.

IMHO the decision by RNLI management makes sense but their handling of the volunteers is absolutely sh*t. - not for the first time!
Do they have an HR department? If so sack them.
Volunteers are a nightmare to manage in any organisation. Could they have done it better? Perhaps. But I’ve worked in similar scale “institutions” when a “unit” goes rogue (sometime that’s the reason for closure, sometime it’s the threat of closure that drives it) and the emotional energy invested in trying to resolve things amicably is rarely obvious to outside observers. Often the volunteers don’t realise that even if they have invested their entire life in an organisation they don’t own it.I’m a bit late to this and haven’t read all eight pages but…………
