Runswick Bay Rescue Boat

Runswick Bay Rescue Boat operates out of the former RNLI Tractor shed, and is located in the village of Runswick Bay, in the county of North Yorkshire, in England. Runswick Lifeboat Station was opened here in 1866 by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). The station remained in operation until 1978, when the All-weather lifeboat was withdrawn, and the former station at nearby Staithes was reopened as an Inshore lifeboat station. A rescue service was re-established in 1982 by the locally formed Runswick Bay Rescue Boat Association (RBRB). RBRB currently operate a 4.8 m (16 ft) Ribcraft RIB, Spirit of Nagar, on station since 2020.
