This afternoon our crew assisted four people just near the Rip Bridge, with prop issues. They were towed to their mooring at Wagstaffe and our crew then took two of their passengers to the public wharf.
Well done to all! 🚤🛥 ... See more

Today our Green watch team leader Chris Hartcher presented Trevor Phipps with his crew rating certificate and epaulettes.

Congratulations again Trevor.

Whilst out on a training run this morning the crew on board rescue vessel Central Coast 21 came across a very long piece of bamboo, and quite a thick branch, just south of the Rip bridge.

Please keep a proper lookout, and remember to log on and off with your local Marine Rescue Unit. ... See more

📸 FLASHBACK: This week a memory of a non-brigade related kind has emerged from our boxes of old photos. These photos capture the launch of the multi-million dollar superyacht Chrystal Lady into Kincumber Creek 20 years ago. If you were there for the launch, share your memories below.
🛥 Crystal Lady is a custom motor yacht built at the factory of Warren Yachts, in Kerta Lane at South Kincumber around 2001 (20 years ago this year).
️⛳Warren yachts was a reknowned builder of these luxury vessels, including the 70 million dollar Aussie Rules, built for golfing legend Greg Norman in 1999. Warren Yachts moved to Queensland not long after that, when launching into the silted up Kincumber Creek became impossible.
📏 Chrystal Lady measures 34.96 metres in length, with a max draft of 2.39 metres and a beam of 7.39 metres. She has a gross tonnage of 243 tonnes. Her decks are of teak. The vessel has a top speed of 26 knots and a cruising speed of 18 knots. She is powered by a twin screw propulsion system. Crystal Lady accommodates up to 8 guests in 4 cabins. She also has room for up to five crew members.
⚓ Her exterior design and interior design is by Sam Sorgiovanni Designs. Sam Sorgiovanni is a world renowned designer, whose innovative flair and distinctive craftsmanship earned him a global reputation. Crystal Lady also features naval architecture by Peter Lowe Design and Phil Curran Design.
⛵The Central Coast was a well known ship building area from the earliest days of European settlement, with many boat building industries located around the shores of the Brisbane Water estuary. The departure of Warren Yachts marked the end of that era. Warren Yachts eventually went out of the boat building industry, turning instead to luxury boat charter. ... See more

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Lest we forget.
