Club commodore Colin Lister said the event went “extremely well” and helped demonstrate the “total admiration” members had for the RNLI.

“This was the first time in many years we held it over three days and we’ve more than trebled the amount raised as a result,” he added.

“It’s a lot of work but it’s worth doing. As a club we always feel it’s important to support the RNLI.”
