Thanks to the skipper Scott and crew for their hospitality aboard a very cool committee boat during the recent Australasian Police & Emergency Services Games on the River Derwent in Hobart. PV Vigilant, provided courtesy of Tasmania Police, is a true classic.

Mr Kemp did build some beautiful boats!
I believe my dad, Harry McLoughlin commissioned the "Vigilant" to replace the "Premier" police boat when he was Minister for Police in the 1960's. My dad and I would go out on the Derwent in the Premier on Saturday afternoons when Sgt. Harry Everingham was the skipper.
And well done Scott
Thursday afternoon was the final day of the Australasian Police and Emergency Services Games Sailing with 14 races completed with One Man Wolf Pack Representing Tasmania Police taking out the win on 18 points, second place on count back was Victoria Police Air Wing on 20 points and in third place was Auckland City Firefighters on 20 points, it was an absolute pleasure to host the competitors for this event.

It is all about the fun and laughs (and on water competition) but teamwork and reminiscing over a beer is also great. Well done to ALL competing in the Australasian Police and Emergency Services Games Hobart 2025 - sailing ⛵️ 👏 👍

I loved the photos, nothing like sailing the Derwent in a fresh, fluky Nor'wester. Looks like it was a great series.
Thanks Michelle Denney. Great coverage as always.

Great photos. 🙏
The RYCT Members draw tonight also included a special event with the unveiling of the clubs two new ribs, with both named after absolute legends of the RYCT Tracy Matthews and Alan Perkins. Tracy and Alan have contributed so much to the club over many years so very well deserved.

Thank you to Tracy and Perky, and also to the members who turn up week in and week out to support OTB sailing through the raffles and fundraising. We could not do it without you.
Congrats to past commodore Tracy, and RYCT legend Perky. On your outstanding club service.
Congratulations to both Tracy Matthews and Alan 'Perk' Perkins, well deserved 👏 ⛵️👍
