Our Rescue Boats

Green 1

Designed by Mark Ellis Marine Design and constructed by Rick Matson of Legend Boat builders, this vessel has been built to ensure many years of reliable service to the boating community of Perth, and to do so without sacrificing the safety and comfort of the volunteers who go to sea to help others in distress.

Stacy-Hall

The "Stacy-Hall" was named in recognition of two of this Group’s most revered members, Mr Henry Hall and Mr John Stacy. John and Henry have each given nearly 30 years service to the boating community of Perth and they are known and respected by hundreds of boating enthusiasts along our coast. Henry was awarded an OAM a few years ago for his contribution to Sea Rescue.

Stacy-Hall The vessel has been constructed to a length of 40 ft and is powered by two caterpillars diesel motors, each capable of generating 450 HP. It carries 1,500 litres of fuel, which will give approximately 22 hours running time.
