The previous Boathouse from the air,1997 |
The new boathouse from 16th December 2001. |
The boathouse is generally not available to the public due to Health and Safety regulations. The public may enter on request when the mechanic is in attendance, usually on Monday-Friday,1000-1200,or on Sunday mornings, when the crew meet. The crew are more than willing to entertain reasonable groups to the boathouse for a conducted tour and presentation outside these hours. Interested parties can arrange this either by contacting the mechanic at the boathouse on 01745 344040; or, if you wish to apply by e-mail, then contact the boathouse at rhyl@rnli.org.uk . Over 1500 people, including over 30 school visits, were taken on a conducted tour of the boathouse in 2004.
The new boathouse was first used properly after the exercise of 16th December 2001. It is a new purpose-built structure, being able to house both the ILB and AWB together for the first time, with improved facilities including new toilets, a shower room, drying room, rooms for both the Coxswain and the Honorary Secretary, and a large crew room and separate committee room.
The address of the boathouse for all correspondence is
Lifeboat House, Marine Parade, RHYL , LL18 3YP
