West Coast

Vessel Information

Our 12m protector vessel has an interesting history as it was used in a cross Tasman Sea race and circumnavigation of New Zealand.  Purchased in 2008 with support from the Lottery Grants Board it is able to navigate our difficult river bar.  It is named by our key sponsor Talley’s in recognition of their continued generous support.
