17 January 2015 On Wednesday 14 Jan, HRH Princess Anne, in her role as President of the Royal Yachting Association visited the CWM FX London Boat Show. Between visiting the RYA and the Little Ship Club, she found time to interrupt her schedule and stop off at the National Coastwatch stand where she was introduced to the watchkeepers manning the stand.
Currently almost 60 National Coastwatch stations are operational and manned by over 2600 volunteer watchkeepers around the British Isles from Fleetwood in the North West, through Wales, to the South and East of England to Filey in North Yorkshire.
National Coastwatch watchkeepers provide the eyes and ears along the coast, monitoring radio channels and providing a listening watch in poor visibility. They are trained to deal with emergencies offering a variety of skills and experience, and full training by the National Coastwatch ensures that high standards are met.
The words National Coastwatch Institution and Eyes Along the Coast and the NCI logos are Registered Trademarks of NCI.
