When the crew members of a Gower-based private rescue service put to sea in future on a mercy mission, they will speed to the scene on board the latest inshore rescue craft.
The new custom-built Avon SR4M was handed to the coxswain of the Broughton Bay inshore-rescue service, Mr Rob Shefford, by Mr Alan Lloyd, chairman of Swansea City CouncilOs leisure services committee.
The service, which is run by the Broughton Bay Inshore-Rescue Committee and funded by the city council, was set up by local people in 1976 after a child drowned in the bay.
The serviceOs original old and leaky boat has been replaced by the new craft, described as being of the latest design.
