PAINTING THE HULL II

Members of the RNLI Humber Lifeboat crew and workers from Leggott's Ship Yard repaint the boats hull and keel whilst it in dry dock.  It is suspended on a rig.  If at any time it is needed for a call out it will be lowered down the slipway into the water.  This cleaning and repainting is done on a bi-annual basis.
