Appledore Lifeboat Station is home to two lifeboats - an Atlantic 85 inshore lifeboat (ILB) and the very latest Tamar class all-weather lifeboat (ALB). We also have a third boat - a "boarding boat" - to access the moored Tamar. She too has been involved in her fair share of rescues. For more information about RNLI Appledore CLICK HERE
