New Offshore Support Boat - Parker
on Monday October 27, 2014 07:09PM
On your next visit to the club please take a few minutes to check out the newest addition to our support boat fleet. After an extensive search, the Club just recently acquired a used, but "like new", 2006 Parker 2320XL to provide us a more weatherly Offshore support boat allowing us to rotate Wildcat to the Fishing Bay side to replace the now retired Seacraft.
While providing excellent heavy weather protection, the design of the Parker with its large open aft cockpit and enclosed pilot house (with head) also provides us back-up, or secondary, Signal Boat capability to Mr Roberts, greatly improving our ability to support multi-course regattas such as Annual One Design, Stingray, and others. It will also provide us another option for our club One Design RC Signal work.
The vessel has already been placed in service in the old Wildcat slip. The enclosed steering location, size, and platform mounted outboard will make this vessel a little different to operate, so if you would like to be checked out on the vessel, please contact Dixon who can go over the necessary operating and safety features of the vessel.
Fleet Lt, Mike Chesser
