FINNS 0 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I am looking for someone who has experience in installing beaching legs that may give me tips on how to put on my 28ft 1948 Keeler. I have a tidal mooring in Little Shoal bay but on mooring further out by Hinemoa boat ramp for the time being. Thank you in advance Finns Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,118 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Depends on the keel design. Most lagoon legs sit under the gunnels and have a for and aft guy to stabilize them. like this; Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FINNS 0 Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 Really appreciated thank you, great diagrams and explanatory. Also was looking for someone with knowledge to assist with tools to assist with installation. Even someone to install for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrytom 575 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 If the plan is to fit legs so you start scraping/sand etc think you will unstuck very quickly with council/enviroment protection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattm 95 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Agreed HT, but I read this as he wants to keep the boat on the tidal morning permanently, and the ‘further out’ mooring is until the beach legs are sorted? Is that the plan Finns? Are you hoping to have the boat naturally sit on the legs between every tide? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrytom 575 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Think was on TM and sold as a potential liveaboard.Even if just to keep upright at low tide may still be an issue,I remember moorings in the Ngataranga bay area were to be charged a fee,even though they dried out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Pope 231 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Need to be like the Poms, a nice mud berth would probably work better than legs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

harrytom 575 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Many a good solid vessel that has been let go or little maintaince.Has ended up as fire wood or the tip. So many dreamers see a cheap vessel and think YES i can do it. reality no they cant.As you said your pension does cover it . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
