Guest Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Finished complete refit of the new Marauder. Cost twice as much and took twice as long as expected so pretty much on track for summer cruising. Gets wet on Wednesday, cant wait Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Murky 1 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 All these refits finished and it's still only early November I thought that was what Christmas Eve was for. Good effort Royale - hope the relaunch goes well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kiteroa 8 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Pulled the rig on WT yesterday, pretty straight forward using the Weiti gantry crane. Although we’re a bit marginal for draft on the approach to the Weiti wharf. Managed to anchor ourselves with the bulb in the mud, so a bit of hanging off stays etc to get her moving again. But all in all a pretty easy process, an hour start to finish. Very fortunate to have a setup like that down at Weiti, A job like that would have been a nightmare downtown. Better pay my subs again!

Changed 10 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 We get into the WH one just either side of the tide. What are you doing with the rig? Building a Mk2? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kiteroa 8 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I was surprised how much water we had on the way in actually. We were navigating off an iphone 5, and we were amazed how true their chart was. Bang on the whole way in. never had less than a meter under the keel. Only had issues right up next to the gantry. No Mk2 rig though, just a few tweaks before Christmas/Bay week. Want some more adjustment in the deck collar, so that has a date with the router this week also.

Guest Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 What do you draw? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SloopJohnB 324 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 What do you draw? boats, buildings, machinery, industrial & process piping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kiteroa 8 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 We draw just a scratch over 2.1m. We were in there about an hour before high on Sunday with the aim to be out again on slack water. Just before high, we had 0.6m directly under the gantry, so no issues there. You just have to be careful getting the boat in position. Avoiding the ramp is the main thing. If you swing around in front of the club, and pass over the ramp you lose 0.5m and park up! If we hadn’t gone over the ramp we would have been fine! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
