Calshot is our ‘local’ lifeboat station, and is located on Calshot Spit, operating at the end of Southampton Water and into the Solent.
Established in 1970, it currently houses two inshore lifeboats, an Atlantic 85 and a D class. Find out more about Calshot Lifeboat Station at www.rnli.org/calshot
The station will run from approx 9am, with setup from 8am, and we will be looking for operators for the HF station, plus help to set up the station. If you are able to help out please contact Ken G4DKH directly or via the club forum.
