We are so proud to have to have just launched the first fully South African built Offshore Rescue Craft (ORC) for the NSRI (National Sea Rescue Institute)
She is a self-righting search and rescue craft that is purpose-built for rescue operations in extreme conditions. At 14.8 m long and 4.8m wide, she can be deployed on rescue missions as far as 50 nautical miles from land and has an expected lifespan of at least 40 years.
Rescue 17 is destined for Station 17 in #Hermanus and will cover a wide area of operations in the #Overberg region from Quoin Point to Hawston. This world-class rescue boat also carries the special names from donors who wished to honour their loved ones from our recent Launch a Legacy campaign.
