RESCUE VESSELS:
Southern Peninsula Rescue Squad has two Naiad rescue vessels, built by Kirby Marine in Western Australia.
With their shallow draft, these vessels are ideal for use around the sand bars at the southern end of Port Phillip Bay. They also have the strength and stability to cope with the rough conditions often experienced both inside the Bay and out into Bass Strait.
10m Naiad Rescue Vessel – Southern Peninsula One
This vessel was delivered in December, 2011 and is permanently moored on a Custom Float at the Blairgowrie Marina. The float eliminates the need for anti-fouling and regular cleaning of the hull.
