Whitfords Sea Rescue - Rottnest Safety Convoy - 29th April
Whitfords Sea Rescue will be conducting a Rottnest Safety Convoy on Saturday 29th April. We will be leaving from Hillarys Boat harbour around 8.00am. You can launch from Mindarie or Ocean Reef as we will have a vessel leaving Mindarie to escort vessels to HBH.
With the assistance of Fremantle Sea Rescue you will escorted in and out a number of bays and expect to return about 4.00pm. When we break for lunch you will have time to have a look around Thompson Bay.
The convoy is subject to the weather but we will postponed to the following Saturday if required.
A briefing for all participants will be held at our premises at Ocean Reef on Thursday 27th April at 7.30pm.
The cost is $60 per boat. (minimum vessel size is 5.5m)

Insurance cover
You are correct in regards to insurance cover for the group. I think the BIAWA convoy has a minimum of 5.25mtrs

Asked and answered on FB as well
Seems this was asked last year on their facebook page and the answer was pretty clear. Insurance rules!

There's still a discrepancy
There's still a discrepancy between the BIAWA which allows 5m and WSR but I'll just put it down to BIAWA being able to afford a higher level of cover as a professional organisation.
Not having a crack Iceman as I know you guys are a volunteer organisation and I am a proud member who is forever grateful knowing you guys are my eyes and ears on the water... just want to limit my interaction with SoR folk as much as possible

BIAWA
The BIAWA convoy is like $150odd from memory - see how much more insurance is for that .5m?
Jack, my boat is 7m so if we go together it's an average of 6m?

Trim
Just trim the motor out and measure the shadow at the end of the day and I'm sure you'll make 5.5m!
Anyhow Iceman, I've booked based on your post here so let 'em know you done good
