Boat auction to support Pwllheli and Abersoch RNLI closes this weekend
There are only two days left to bid on a Saxdor Sport 200 motorboat, with accompanying trailer, which is being auctioned off to raise funds for Pwllheli RNLI and Abersoch RNLI.
All the money raised from the auction will be shared between Pwllheli RNLI and Abersoch RNLI ensuring the volunteer crews on the Llyn Peninsula can continue saving lives at sea this summer.
Local volunteers are delighted that the company has gone overboard in support of the RNLI charity.
Catherine Jones RNLI Community Manager for North Wales said:
‘The RNLI is absolutely thrilled to have secured this fantastic gift. Pwllheli RNLI and Abersoch RNLI are delighted by this extremely generous donation from IdealBoat. The money raised will go towards the training and equipment needed to support the volunteer crews who give up their time for the charity which saves lives at sea. We really are incredibly grateful.’
Neville Williams, Managing Director at IdealBoat Pwllheli, said:
‘We take to the water for pleasure; the brave volunteers at the RNLI do so to save lives. We donated the Saxdor 200 to demonstrate our real appreciation for all that they do.’
