St Agnes Lifeboat Station (based in St Agnes, Cornwall, UK) opened in 1968. The station's lifeboats have been sponsored by BBC's Blue Peter programme, mostly being named Blue Peter IV.
In 1978, and again in 2005, the Duke of Kent visited the station in his role as president of the RNLI.
The station has always been an inshore lifeboat station, and until October 2015 operated a D-class (IB1) lifeboat called Blue Peter IV.
The current boat, D-787 XKalibur, was generously funded by The Jaguar Enthusiasts Club and donations from the local and wider community.
