This is the slipway at the Lyme Regis Lifeboat station which prides itself on having an average launch time from initial call to leaving the harbour of just seven minutes. The boat is launched from its trolley which is manoeuvred by a seven tonne semi-submersible tractor enabling speedy launches particularly at low water.
This was the scene during the 2007 Lifeboat week when a crab catching competition was taking place along the jetty while the lifeboat was nearby providing a tourist attraction.
