It is essential
that rescue vessels are safer and stronger than the craft they are rescuing
and they need to weather the harsh conditions and travel as fast and direct
as possible. We work with the group who is to operate the craft and do
our best to deliver a craft that will exceed their expectations and desires.
We admire the work these volunteers do and do all we can to preserve their
lives.
These
"3 Little Girls" as they have been affectionately nick-named,
will be used in the Oil and Gas Industry of the coast of North-Western
Australia.
They are equipped with self righting systems in case of capsize in rough waters.

Volunteer
Marine Groups in Albany, Broome, Walpole, Bremer Bay and Hopetoun have
all chosen this vessel for their operations. They provide an armchair
ride and certainly a very fast response. The boats have been individualized
to suit the requirements of the different service areas and are obviously
the chosen craft to venture into the rough and unpredictable seas of
the southern coast of Western Australia.
