Lots of lifeboats

[ianrb]

Driving north over the Forth Road Bridge yesterday I notices at least 7 RNLI lifeboats tied up at South Queensferry. Does anyone know why so many are in one location at a time, and why that particular location?

Were they ribs or all weather lifeboats?

They were the bigger all weather ones.

Thanks for explaining what they are/were.

Sorry about my confusion with RIBS; the only ones I've seen before were the little open ones, also I was driving over the road bridge at the time, so my view was restricted.
