NoMaker 1 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Hey guys, you may remember I posted a few months ago looking for advice on buying a yacht with a few friends, none of which have any experience. Thanks for all of your advice, I am now the owner of a Stewart 34. I am hoping to liveaboard while I study in Auckland next year, as it seems to be a very economical solution. I'll be studying at AUT south Campus so it looks like the Tamaki river would be the closest and best suited to find a mooring. Unfortunately it doen't look like they come up often, was wondering if anyone had any advice on living aboard in the Tamaki river and where to find a mooring or if anyone knows someone who may be able to help. I've already asked on the Tamaki River moorings page with not a huge amount of luck. I am hopefully wanting to be as close to PBYC as possible, as I'll likely use their facilities and dinghy storage. Any advice welcome! Cheers, Gabe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chariot 242 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I presume you mean the PYBC. I think you will have to become a member to use the facilities and dinghy lockers. There have been several live aboards up around there over the years. Be prepared for a few sleepless nights when you get a good blow from the s/west. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin McCready 83 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Keep an eye on this https://at.govt.nz/boating-marine/moorings/moorings-for-sale-or-rent/ I also left little notices on boats asking if they wanted to sell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrytom 641 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Ask the council for a pile mooring, more readily available as a good mooring never comes up, best spots are above pybc towards panmure bridge. Northerly blows can be interesting and almost defiantly need a good outboard for dinghy, tide is quite strong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
