OUR FUNDRAISING GOALS
The life of a fast response craft can vary between 10 and 20 years on average. Our Titan 249XL Rigid Hull Inflatable boat had a major refurbishment in 2017 and will likely need a further rebuild within the next couple of years, or a full replacement by 2037, which could cost anywhere between $500,000 and $900,000. Our station needs to raise 50% of that cost by 2037.
Every $ raised will help support our station’s long-term goals and also with the day-to-day equipment needs of our crew. Your donations will continue to help save lives on the water for many years to come.
