Lifeboat is commissioned

 

The Royal Volunteer Coastal Patrol has commissioned a new lifeboat.

The accredited Category 1 lifeboat will be used to patrol Woy Woy Bay, Brisbane Water, Broken Bay and the Kincumber Broadwater.

The plate aluminium 5.95m vessel was officially named and launched at the Patrol's Point Clare Base on January 13, and is now ready for operational duties.

Liberal Candidate for Gosford Cr Chris Holstein has congratulated the patrol.

"The Central Coast Division raised $93 000 to purchase the vessel with help from the community, a proud result for the people of the Central Coast," he said.
