NorthlandYS 1 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 What are the rules about painting on a grid? Is this covered by local regulations or just national environmental policy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 197 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 "No hull maintenance can be undertaken on the foreshore. This includes the cleaning, scraping, sanding, blasting, painting or anti-fouling of a vessel hull on the foreshore." "The only exception is at an authorised facility, such as a consented grid (with approval of the grid owner and following grid rules)." https://www.nrc.govt.nz/maritime/our-marine-environment/cleaning-your-boat/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,568 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Ignorance of our rules is no defence. People illegally cleaning boat hulls risk fines of at least $750. A bit less than the cost of a lift and wash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 511 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Yep, I was lucky to escape with a warning a few years back for this even though I used a professional firm to paint it and we used tarpaulins and nothing was left on the mud. Still a prick of a job Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NorthlandYS 1 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Glad I asked! Appears the rates to haul at Marsden are actually quite reasonable especially since we are just under 6m beam, but haven’t endeavored to read all the rules and fine print yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
