MEMBERS of Greenock’s Coastguard Rescue Team bolstered their skills during a visit to Largs Lifeboat Station this week.

The crew joined teams from Cumbrae and Ardrossan for familiarisation training, allowing newer recruits to get an insight into the daily running of the RNLI station.

Largs Lifeboat’s operations manager and launch authority spoke with the Coastguard teams about the equipment they carry on board and how their crew train on a weekly basis.
