St Agnes RNLI volunteer 21-year-old Lloyd becomes D class helm
After months of training, St Agnes lifeboat station’s Lloyd Stein, becomes one of the RNLI’s newest helms.
Lloyd, who lives in St Agnes Cornwall and studies Chemical Physics at Bristol University, has been a member of the volunteer crew at St Agnes RNLI Lifeboat since his 17th birthday. His experience on and in the water started much earlier, starting with boating with his father Doug who commented,
“Lloyd has always been at home in a boat and in the water. Even as a nipper, he wanted to take the helm whenever we were afloat.”
Lloyd began his life saving career at St Agnes Surf `Lifesaving Club where he learned the essentials of water safety, rescues and first aid before becoming a professional RNLI Lifeguard and joining the volunteer crew of St Agnes RNLI Lifeboat in 2018. Since then, Lloyd has been involved in a number of rescues and has appeared on the BBC television program, Saving Lives At Sea.
Lloyd is now one of 5 helms at St Agnes RNLI, with two more in training and another 23 volunteers who are seagoing crew, shore crew and launchers. Behind the scenes there are many more volunteers working tirelessly to raise funds for the station.
