Would RNLI accept an overweight but fit volunteer lifeboat crew member?

[Chefpig]

I live about an eight minute drive from my nearest two RNLI stations and have been thinking about becoming a volunteer on the boats. I am significantly overweight though fit and active and a strong swimmer. Would they take me? Does anyone do this? What is it truly like?

You've Googled if you're serious about volunteering though?

I just did (due to this thread) and the answers are all there.

As long as you pass the fitness test and upper age limit, you're good to go by the looks of it.
