splat 57 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Interesting - would like to see how they imposed a 'rule' quite so quickly and more so what does entering Marlborough mean? Marlborough Harbour Limits? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
armchairadmiral 411 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Stand by for yet another tax. Because we are captive identifiable and rich ( to every non boatie anyone who has a boat is rich) you can expect another tax through your mooring and marina. And boaties are the victims ! How does this work ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Today from Marlborough Council. I wonder if they apply this to the fishing fleet and the log ships coming into Shakespeare.... I doubt it. Marlborough Marinas Visitor Ruling May 2019.pdf Tb The irony in that the basic requirements of that notice were probably met by this boat, in that it may well have been antifouled within the last 6 months (before moving to the sounds, we don't know how long the boat was berthed there before it was hauled out again). The only 'slight' issue was that the bottom of the keel wasn't done. I can imagine a boat owner paying for a haul out and professional application of antifoul, to be honestly thinking they have complied with the Marlborough Regional Council's requirements, only to get one hell of an arse kicking when they next haul out with a different operator, upon finding the 'special' price of the last application didn't include the bottom of the keel. Either that, or the keel was done, but on the travel lift just before splash, and the antifoul was ineffective due to insufficient drying time. How many boat owners have personally checked the bottom of their keels? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
