Fowey RNLI Welcomes Two Newly Qualified Navigators

Fowey RNLI pair successfully qualify as D class navigators

Two crew members at Fowey RNLI have reached a key milestone in their lifeboat training after months of dedication and preparation.

Ross Jezard and Graham Middleton have successfully passed out as qualified navigators on the D class inshore lifeboat. The achievement comes after both completed a two-part assessment covering afloat and theory navigation.

Fowey RNLI runs weekly training exercises focused on teamwork, technical skills, and safe procedures. Every volunteer crew member follows a structured programme of competence-based training and assessment to reach operational standards.

Coxswain Jonathan Pritchard said:

“Well done to Ross and Graham for their dedication and hard work over the past months, preparing for the exam and assessments and successfully passing out. Congratulations from all at the station.”
