RNLI Boathouse Appeal Claire Rawlinson, Volunteer Lifeboat Press Officer and Burnham on Crouch Lifeboat Station Website Administrator is taking part in the Moonlit Southend Colourthon - a 13.1 mile evening charity walk around Southend starting at 8pm on the 4th July 2009 to raise funds towards a new Lifeboat Boathouse for Burnham on Crouch RNLI. In 2011 a brand new Atlantic 85 Lifeboat will replace the 10 year old existing Atlantic 75 at Burnham. The Lifeboat has already been paid for by an extremely generous donor, however a new floating boathouse will be required in which to house the boat as it is larger than the current one. A considerable amount of the funding for the new boathouse has been allocated from funds within the RNLI, however £50,000 is still needed and Claire is hoping to help contribute towards it. In the past year alone, the Lifeboat Crew have been involved in five major search and rescue operations including the RAF Sea King helicopter, Coastguard, Police and crews from flank stations. This is in addition to the other calls to stranded sailors who may have suffered mechanical failures or become lost and disorientated in poor weather conditions.
