The call-outs were to a varied amount of incidents ranging from large commercial fishing vessels, fishing boats, leisure craft, sailing vessels,
swimmers, inflatables, people cut off by the tide and medical evacuations. Many of the more sensitive call-outs are not publicised, it is these incidents which are often the most challenging for the volunteer crew.
This represents a massive commitment from everyone involved with Eastbourne lifeboat Station, and many hours at sea.
