Well I must say I feel a bit peeved now. We spent a lovely few days last summer in Staithes, where I purchased a sweatshirt from the RNLI shop, on which it states "Staithes and Runswick lifeboat", but having just read this thread, it looks like none of my contribution will go towards the Runswick boat. Is this correct?

Also, if someone gets into difficulties in Runswick Bay, I assume that the Runswick boat goes out, so does that mean that the Staithes boat also goes, and what happens if they both get there at the same time?
