Andy, who was in the post for nearly four years, isn’t leaving the RNLI. He is a designated launch authority (DLA) and a member of the water-safety team.

Roger, pictured on the right, joined Scarborough RNLI as a DLA two years ago.

A past commodore of Scarborough Yacht Club, he has over 40 years seagoing experience, in the commercial and leisure sectors.
