On 6/3/12 Water Police were notified an Emergency Positioning Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) had been activated 30 nautical miles from Port Stephens.

Chopper 1 from Williamstown RAAF base was dispatched & located the upturned vessel.

5 Victorian men were winched from the upturned hull & taken to John Hunter Hospital.

A great ad for EPIRBs!
