I have been driving a rescue boat at the Grange Sailing Club in South Australia for 20 years and am a Life Member of the club due to my rescue boat work. These are some shots of the boat I drive ( with me driving ) off the local coast. The boat is a 16' fibreglass Vincent Craft built to survey spec with a 75 HP Mariner outboard. It's top speed in ideal conditions is 42 knots ( 77 kilometres per hour ). We use a crew of two people and go out in any breeze whenever there are sailing boats on the water.
This is our family yacht. A Compass 28 built in Sydney, Australia in 1980. It is fibreglass with a reasonably full keel, draws about 4 1/2 feet and cruises at about 6 knots most of the time.
The Marina our boat is berthed at. Our boat marked.
