SUPPORTERS who want to make their mark on the “lega-sea” of one of Jersey’s lifeboats are invited to make a splash by having their name featured on its bow.
The Jersey Lifeboat Association has said that any-one who donates at least £35 can have their name printed on the Sir Max Aitken III, or “Sir Max”, the charity’s all-weather lifeboat.
A launch event should give them the chance to take pictures with the name before the boat returns to its mission.
“We’re really excited to be launching our ‘Lega-sea’ initiative, allowing Islanders to have their name on the bow of our all-weather lifeboat for a minimum donation of £35,” coxswain Oliver Smart said.
“We also hope that this will make the ideal alternative gift for a loved one, especially with the festive period approaching.
“As a locally-funded and locally-run charity, we’re delighted to be connecting our Island community to our vessels in such a personal way, with all funding going towards keeping both our lifeboats operational 24/7, 365 days a year.
“We will be holding a launch event early next season where Islanders will have the opportunity to come and take pictures alongside their name, meet the crew and tour the boats.”
Mr Smart teased “some really interesting projects” coming up that will help the charity buy and maintain “the best possible equipment for our boats, our crews and our fellow Islanders”.
