Kippford RNLI was established in May 1966 and is now operational all year round.</div><div>The lifeboat was originally housed in a garage at Kippford Slipway Ltd until a replacement boathouse was built in 1977 at the top of the small lane leading down to the beach. The current facility which opened in 2001 includes a crew room and changing facilities.</div><div>Everything is staffed entirely by volunteers, from the lifeboat to the shop. The current D class (IB1 type) lifeboat D-718 Catherine was placed on station in 2009 and was funded by the generous legacy of Mrs Catherine Harrison, a lifelong supporter of the RNLI.</div> 2001 Museum 1079 Spring Bank Kippford 12372 No 30/9/2012 10.30-16.30 10.30-16.30 <p>Directions: Kippford is approximately four miles from Dalbeattie on the A710.
