St Ives and Penlee RNLI lifeboat crews assist fishing boat
The Beaumaris registered inshore scalloper, Lola K was damaged by a freak wave some 15 miles off Pendeen last night. The St Ives lifeboat went to assist the two crew members and their vessel whose wheelhouse windows had been smashed by a freak wave.
The boat was eventually towed back to Newlyn by the Penlee lifeboat for an assessment of damage and repairs.

Has sennen not got a lifeboat or were they not up to it?
A case of first come first served?
i heard that sennen may be closed down and covered by st marys, penlee and st ives
Rumour has it, once Mr George hands over command the Sennen boat may be on its last passage to Poole. With the arrival of a FCB at St Ives capable of 27 kts and the St Marys lifeboat capable of 25 kts there may be no need for cover at Sennen. Hopefuly this will not happen, and is just rumour.
Hard to believe after all the money that has just been spent on the new slip and boat!!!!
