Rhoose Lifeguards are proud to announce the arrival of its Inshore Rescue Boat.

The Eqipment in the above photo shows a

M30A4 Short Shaft Tohatsu Engine and an Achilles 385 soft hull Inshore Rescue Boat

The boat and engine were purchased by the club after a lot of hard work by club members, the generous grants from V.C.V.S (kick start 3) for the Boat and S.L.S.A. Wales and the Sports Safety Grant for the Engine.

The club would like to thank all of the above, with particular appreciation to Sian Baron and all her continued fund raising efforts within the club, Peter Hallett of Mid-coast Marine http://www.midcoastmarine.com.au/ who helped source and purchase the equipment and Chris Parry of S.L.S.A.Wales Powercraft http://www.rescueboatwales.org/ for his continued support of our I.R.B. programme.

Members who wish to actively take part in the I.R.B. training programme with the club should contact Chris or Andy Knowles for more details.
