New sea rescue boat
Jörgen Berglund, skipper at the Sea rescue station in Holmsund informs.

I thought I give some information on Rs Holmsunds continuing activities. As known, we lost our boat this autumn since the Navy needed it.

After many telephone calls I managed to get a new boat for the summer 2007 and probably one more year. It is a boat that currently is located on Kärringön. It is named Lars Prytz and is a twelve-meter boat with max speed of  37-40 knots. see picture.
It is specifically designed for sea rescue purpose and we feel satisfied. Unfortunately, we will not be able to open the station until mid-June because we will not get the boat until then.
We will resume our collaboration with the Rescue service regarding fire on islands. They were not aware that we can reach Holmön in less than an hour. So, we will carry out exercises with transports to Holmön etc.
We are now six skipper at the station and a number of crewmen so we can be stand-by in shift the coming summer. I recon it will work much better for all parts instead of one person being stand-by the whole summer!!
This is some information on current on-going activities and if possible we will of course assist during Postrodden (mail-rowing) and hopefully we will also be in your home waters at the Song festival, too.
