Today marks the 105th anniversary of the Salcombe lifeboat disaster. 27 October 1916 started with a rescue and ended in tragedy - one of the worst in RNLI history. The capsizing of the oar-powered William and Emma, left only two survivors from a volunteer crew of 15. It is a story of courage, sacrifice and loss. One of the survivors, Eddie Distin, went on to become the station's coxswain until his retirement in 1951 and his great grandson James is on the crew today. | RNLI

Dart and Salcombe lifeboats were faced with an unusual casualty yesterday, when they were called to help an 8 metre and 15 tonne Humpback whale trapped in fishing gear. The lifeboats helped two members from the British Divers Marine Life Rescue organisation get to the whale and untangle her. Once freed the whale sped off. | RNLI

The RNLI has launched its new lifeboat at Salcombe ahead of what is likely to be a busy summer season. It was named 'the Gladys Hilda Mustoe' in honour of a late patron of the charity, who left them with a donation large enough to pay for the boat. | ITV News West Country

This time last week we had our demo day down here in Salcombe! It turned out to be a fantastic day of people enjoying various boats in the Brig lineup, asking all the questions and experiencing being out on the water in these fantastic family ribs! Thanks to all of those that joined us on the water. It really was a fun day on the water! If you missed us however, we do have boats on the water all year round so don’t feel like you’ve missed your chance to get out with the family. If there’s a boat
