Lady Swag
Community Boat #1
Service Description
## LADY SWAG **Boat No. 1 – Pumicestone Passage Pirates Community Fleet** **A vessel built on generosity, volunteer service and community spirit.** Introducing **Lady Swag**, the very first vessel in the Pumicestone Passage Pirates Incorporated community fleet. Lady Swag has been proudly named in honour of **Jubbly Russell**, whose dedication and volunteer service to the Pirates during 2024 and 2025 played an important role in establishing our organisation. Jubbly generously contributed her time and energy to supporting our merchandising operations, helping the Pirates grow during those important early years. Naming our first community boat Lady Swag is our way of recognising her contribution and ensuring her service is remembered for years to come. This vessel has been made possible through the extraordinary generosity of some wonderful people and businesses. **Southern Fish Marine** generously donated the **6HP Mercury outboard motor**, providing the power behind our first community vessel. A massive thank you to Anthony, Wendye and the Southern Fish Marine team, along with **Mercury Marine Australia**, for their support. **James Hallam**, a proud Life Member of the Pirates, generously donated the fishfinder, helping equip Lady Swag for her adventures on the water. **Mark Curtis of Almarine Engineering**, who also serves as our Pirates Treasurer, generously completed the trailer work and installation, helping bring the entire project together. Lady Swag represents so much more than a boat. She represents what can happen when people come together, contribute what they can and believe in a shared purpose. As our community fleet continues to grow, we hope these vessels will create opportunities for connection, inclusion and memorable experiences on the water. Through our **#piratesofftheplank** initiative, we remain committed to raising awareness around mental health and suicide prevention. To Jubbly, Southern Fish Marine, Mercury Marine Australia, James and Mark — thank you for helping turn this vision into reality. **Lady Swag — proudly sailing with purpose.** **Hire note:** The hirer is responsible for fuel and tackle. **Pumicestone Passage Pirates Incorporated** *Making the invisible visible.* www.pumicestonepassagepirates.com.au
