Peel’s lifeboat crew have been benefiting from some intense training this week, with Sam Styles completing his mechanics course.
Earlier this week Emma Le Cornu and Claire Hamer both passed out as shore crew.
For his part, Sam has been training to be a mechanic on the Shannon class lifeboat and has worked tirelessly to ensure he knows the mechanics of the boat inside and out.
Peel RNLI said: ‘Fair to say, he did a stellar job and has now been deemed a competent mechanic – amazing work Sam!
‘This role involves keeping the engines, jets, lifesaving equipment and other systems on the boat in perfect working order whilst ‘Frank and Brenda Winter’ is at sea and requires regular liaison with the coxswain at sea to ensure the boat can do its job: save lives at sea.’
The week has seen intensive training for the new, with head launchers, launch and recovery drivers being put through their paces.
