Another product we’re excited to offer our clients is Hempel’s Silic One which is a biocide-free, silicone-based fouling release coating as an alternative to antifoul. This stuff is slipperier than a squid on a slipway 🦑

Alotta recently had this new system applied to her hull, we’re excited to see how it performs for our client 🤩

This 15 meter Carey motor launch Fortuna Lights celebrated a birthday with a full exterior repaint 🤩 I’ve been told our client has a skip in his step and twinkle in his eye again after a long winter without her 🩵

✨Estelle✨
A beautiful, well loved and maintained Grand Banks. She recently came inside for a waterline raise, mast paint and a few other yearly maintenance jobs such as Antifoul, Propspeed and Polish.

Getting waterlines right is bit of an art form, we were happy to see the extra time we spent getting the measurements right equated to waterline perfection at relaunch 😃

Feel Good Friday 😍 Yes I know it’s Sunday but the good vibes from last week have spilled into our long weekend so we can’t help but write a gratitude post tonight. We love a satisfied customer, this year has been pretty exceptional with customers going out of their way to thank our team, we know we’ve got a good team but for our customers to recognise that too and go out of their way to thank them is very special to us.
From boxes of home gown feijoas, peaches & apples to boxes of cream buns, pies and drinks to freshly baked muffins out of the boat’s oven and personally written cards, we couldn’t be more blessed. ✨Thank you ✨

They say the kitchen is the heart of a home and the same goes with a galley on a boat 😍
Our clients provided the brief and the Tōtora milled from their own farm and we worked our magic 🤩
These photos are just a wee taster of this project, more to come 👌🏼
