New Rescue Boat

The project to replace one of our ageing coaching RIBs began at the end of the 2018-19 season. Our RIB Quicksilver, formerly Bob Beveridge was nearing the end of its effective life as a club RIB.

​

A dedicated effort from Luke and Vaughan resulted in a new 3.6m RIB from Christchurch manufacturer King Watercraft being purchased with assistance from the New Zealand Communities Trust.

​

The new boat has an engine provided by Powerboat Centre and sits on a Watercraft Trailer from Trailer Services, and will be used by our Learn to Sail and Junior Coaching team.
