New SARA 2 Launched

A new replacement for SARA2 was recently launched at Sharpness by the famous yachtsman Tony Bullimore. The new boat replaces the existing Tornado RIB that was approx 10 years old and beginning to show significant signs of wear and tear. The new craft is a 6.5m Delta RIB, featuring twin outboard 50HP engines. Other equipment on board include; GPS Chart plotter, electronic compass, twin marine VHF radio sets, depth sounder.

After a short dedication ceremony, the new craft was launched with Tony on board with the SARA Crew. TV crews were also filming the event for local evening news features.
