We have just finished working on this Ovni. Brand new plastic windows to replace the old “crazy cracked” ones. Looks awesome!

COLLABORATION TIME...
When your sister runs a pump and generator company in the Bay of Plenty but is in bed with Covid, does this stop the installation of a couple of bits of hardware in the Top of the South? No.

Supplied by NES and installed by ShipShape & Nelson Marine Servicing. Not often we get to go and play in the mountains. Good fun, but happy to get back to the marina tomorrow

Nev and Mat recently spent a full on 5 days working on the sailing machine Nanook of Project Zero. They sailed into the Nelson marina for some urgent jobs to get done for their journey from Australia to Patagonia and then on to the great Antarctica. We installed a new Anchor winch system, a new Diesel heating system, and had to troubleshoot and repair the Generator stop/start system. We also replaced the main engine ignition and gauges panel. The Lads on board were awesome to work with! They are now deep in the southern ocean.
