St. Helier Lifeboat Station - St. Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands - Lifeboats and Rescue Stations on Waymarking.com

The first ever lifeboat on the island of Jersey was acquired in 1830 and there are currently two stations on the island. Over the years a number of bravery medals have been awarded for the actions of the lifeboat crews. These are made up of 9 Bronze Medals, 7 Silver Medals and 4 Gold Medals.

The lifeboat station currently has two lifeboats.

In 2007 The new Atlantic 85 lifeboat David Page was placed on service. The Atlantic 85 is an inshore 'B class' lifeboat, constructed of a carbon fibre and foam core laminate rigid hull with inflatable sponsons.

In 2009 The new Tamar class George Sullivan was placed on service. The Tamar class is a 16m, self-righting all-weather lifeboat capable of speeds of up to 25 knots. She weighs 30 tonnes and has a range of up to 250 nautical miles.

As at 2014 these two lifeboats are looked after and maintained by Jonathan Cornick, the station mechanic, and operated by a crew of volunteers led by Coxswain Andy Hibbs.
