It is with regret St Helens Marine Rescue informs mariners of the passing of Greg Schmerl, a most valued member of our Association. Greg was a dedicated, very involved, hard working executive member of Marine Rescue. He had a vision and worked tirelessly to ensure the Association maintained a contemporary place in volunteer emergency services. On behalf of all involved in Marine Rescue we pass on our condolences to Family and Friends.

Members surround The Freycinet

Members surround the Freycinet

Members of St Helens Marine Rescue gathered on a perfect March day to carry out the annual hull check of the Freycinet. The mighty rescue vessel was slipped at 9 am with work commencing soon after. De-fouling – barnacles and sea weed removed by pressure hoses followed by anti-fouling painting and finally concluded with the removal of old corrosion plates to be replaced by new. After four hours the Freycinet returned to the water, fresh and ready for another year of rescue activities.
