Standard decks, downwind decks, left to rights, right to lefts, trapped decks, RIBs, hi-lines, multi-seat dinghies, wets, ejectees, sits, IEC sits, drums, extended cable drums, AHT, navigation, GH, radar let downs, mountains.

These are the basics. If only a few of these are currently being practised at night by coastguard crews then they clearly need more than 50 hours per month if they're to take over successfully from the military. The 'Bristow have been doing this since 1971' argument holds no water if all of these basic training exercises haven't been being completed in daylight and after dark.
