Through the ‘umbrella’ of the WSC a

Through the ‘umbrella’ of the WSC and with inter-club co-ordination, many joint searches and rescues have been undertaken, particularly boats in distress near Sandy Point or caught on Middle Bank or other mud banks.

One Sunday afternoon, an upside trimaran took the full power of both ‘BP’ and the Cowes rescue boat to move it to safety in quiet waters, It had capsized in the main shipping channel, and the maximum ebb tide current swept it towards the sand bank.

On one occasion in the late 1970s ‘BP’ was called to Cape Schanck in response to a request from Victoria Police. A crew member of a 16 foot runabout swam ashore half a mile after they had capsized, ran along the road, and raised the alarm. WYC was alerted by the Police, and John McPherson (Skipper, then Commodore), George Benwell, Tom Robinson, and John Benwell took ‘BP’ out late in the afternoon. They picked up the boat in failing light, and towed it back to Flinders. Fortunately the weather conditions were good.
