We often hear about the lifesaving heroics of the RNLI?s multi-million pound fleet, but it?s not often that you actually get to see an RNLI lifeboat in action.

Luckily for us, when Ollie Phillips of Berthon Boat Company recently got a chance to sea trial a Shannon-class RNLI lifeboat, he was followed by a drone camera.

In this video, the lifeboat shows off its amazing handling skills, which are largely thanks to the Hamilton HJ364 Waterjets.

As a result, Ollie is able to spin the 44ft vessel in its own length before pirouetting around a buoy in graceful fashion.
