Rescue Boats |

|
Our Rescue Station operates two rescue craft. The boats are ideally suited to our area of operation and are designed to meet our specific needs. They are usually launched from the beach at Melkbos Strand but can be launched from any slip-way in the case of the 5,5m Waverider, "Spirit of Rotary Blouberg" and from any beach as in the case of our 4m Zapcat, "Men's Health Rescuer". |
|
Spirit of Rotary Blouberg is equipped with twin Mariner 60HP Bigfoot motors. In addition to the sophisticated navigational and radio equipment, she also carries medical and towing equipment and carries four crew onboard. |
|
Men's Health Rescuer is specifically designed as a lightweight, fast response craft able to launch from any beach and is capable to handling big surf conditions, which makes her ideal for getting to swimmers in trouble as well as Kite Boarders, Wind Surfers and Personal Watercraft (PWC's) operating close inshore. She is equipped with a 50HP Yamaha motor and carries two crew onboard. |
