Boulcott Probus visit the Maritime Unit
22 Oct 2025
Recently, Boulcott Probus Club had one of their best outings to the Wellington Police – Maritime Unit.
The Maritime Police were so enthusiastic and answered all of their questions as they were shown through the Lady Elizabeth IV.
The catamaran is powered by two turbocharged V8 diesel engines powering Hamiton jet units. The jet units allow the boat to be driven forward, backwards and sideways and the catamaran can abruptly stop within its own boat length - a must for rescue work.
The Club has had interesting outings recently including the Beacon Hill Maritime Radio, Wellington Airport Fire and Sea Rescue, and now the Wellington Police – Maritime Unit.
