The dredging at Pelican point has commenced and we can look forward to an improved channel. Please take care while the dredging is in progress.

This week we towed the yacht “Westward” into St Helens where she will be on the slip for a week or so.

The cutter Westward, the only Tasmanian yacht to have twice won the Sydney Hobart Yacht Race on handicap, has been gifted to the Maritime Museum of Tasmania by the yacht’s owner for the past 55 years, Mr Stan Field. The Maritime Museum of Tasmania plans to have her as part of its exhibition of historic Tasmanian boats in Constitution Dock but also sailing regularly on the River Derwent.

The St Helens Game Fishing Club President John McGiveron has presented the St Helens Marine Rescue Association with a $500.00 donation on behalf of the club for doing the skeds over the 2 days of the St Helens Game Fishing Classic. This welcome support will assist us with the ongoing cost of running our service.
