Tighnabruaich Lifeboat Station is located in the Kyles of Bute.[1]The station is the base for search and rescue operations at Tighnabruaich, Argyll, United Kingdom.
In 1995, the D-class lifeboat was withdrawn, and replaced with a C-class lifeboat (C-509). The C-Class was a faster boat, with two 40hp engines, giving an improvement in speed of around 7 knots, (6mph).
However, the station was soon to be equipped with the bigger and better Atlantic 21-class, but this required improvements to the boat house and crew facilities.
Building work commenced in 1996, completing in 1997.
An Atlantic 21 was placed on service in the same year, but was soon replaced with the new Atlantic 75-class, Alec and Maimie Preston (B-743) in 1998.
Tighnabruaich Lifeboat Station currently operates an Atlantic 85-class inshore lifeboat (ILB), the James and Helen Mason (B-862).[2]
