sponsor

 Wouldnt be a silly idea to hit up the health department and/or a pharmaceutical company for naming rights , life of boat sponsorship either . Merchandise with quirky, relevant things like don't get screwed with a flat battery 

Or even if Free Willy or something get sponsorship from willy weather or something

 

As they say 20 bucks is 20 bucks hahaha

Hope I've given someone a laugh . I'll stop now

Hi Dazza, nice looking little tub. Gotta post some pics on completion.
How is it all going there now under FESA.
Any distinct changes been made or is it business as usual ??
Must have had an injection of funds for the new vessel ??

I suppose it depends what message you're hoping to convey. I'm not familiar with the Cockburn Volunteer Sea Rescue, but given that you're wondering about naming the boat, it would suggest that this is partly going to be on display for promotion of the group rather than something that's always hidden away as a work boat?

If you wanted to go with something pun-related, you could address the fact that its a cat and a rescue boat and call it something like "Ninth life saver" or something along those lines. Its only if you want to draw attention to it being a cat, though.

hi Deckie,

yeah all good with the change, just business as usual no district changes.  No injection of funds either, we have worked hard for the funds and it was fully funded before going to DFES.

Good to hear, the powers to be (WSR) had a meeting with DFES the other nite, so no doubt we will be hearing the outcome of that soon.
Good luck with the new tub & stay safe.

Congrats

Congrats on the new boat, adds another to the fleet of rescue boats to service the whole of our coast.
Our old boat, Rescue 1 should go back in the water next weekend with a bit of luck and the Naiad comes out to replace the port side windows, both cracked during the training run trip to Denham last year and to fit a lever type rudder position indicator unit to get rid of the strip type one [have replaced 3 so far at about $300 each]
