Personal message

THE NSRI IS ON CALL 24 HRS FOR WATER SAFETY.

Mark Dawson & Riaan Du Toit, NSRI volunteers, have invited a team of intrepid sailors to take on a mammoth challenge. They will each be sailing an Optimist dinghy across open water, 12 nautical miles from *BASE to BASE to raise funds for NSRI Port Elizabeth. (*PE harbour – Noordhoek)

NSRI Port Elizabeth has a newly established auxiliary station located at Noordhoek Ski Boat Club. This allows the crew a quicker response time for emergencies on the wild side.

With your support, the funds raised will be used for Sea Rescue PPE at the new base.
