[Pile moorings available at Weiti Boating Club for shallow draft boats]

Hey Guys and Gals

We have the following moorings available that would be suitable for a bilge keeler, trailer boat, multi's (maybe) or a launch that don't mind sitting in the mud....

#8 - 9.4m long & 1m deep at low tide 

#10 - 9m long & .5m deep at low tide

#13 - 13.7m long & .5m deep (if that) at low tide

#16 - 9.3m long & .5m deep at low tide

#136A - 14m long & .5m deep at low tide

#154 - 9.7m and dries out at low tide

#167 - 9.4m and dries out at low tide

Before we can allocated a mooring you do need to join the club as a senior ($290.00) or family member ($380)and pay the non refundable/once off entrance fee ($193.43 or $241.78), your membership will then be processed at the next General Meeting which is on 3rd Tuesday of the month. Mooring fee is $880 for boats under 9.4 metres and for boat over 9.4 metres it is $93.86 per metre per year plus a non refundable/once off mooring levy of $500. You also need insurance and get an inside dinghy locker. We like to allow 1 to 1 1/2 meters either end of your boat on the piles, for example mooring #8 would only fit a boat 7.4 metres or less.  

If you are interested in one of the above mooring please give me a call 09 424 5905 or email info@weiti.co.nz.

Thanks Katie

Maritime radio users are required to be licensed and hold a callsign* for their vessel (except in an emergency or distress situation). All operators of maritime VHF radios must hold, as a minimum requirement, a Maritime VHF Radio Operator Certificate.

Knowing how to use a maritime VHF radio correctly is vital in the event of an emergency.  There are certain protocols that must be followed when communicating over the maritime radio network.  

Maritime VHF radios can be used for listening to weather forecasts, communicating between boats or communicating boat to shore.  

The Maritime VHF Radio Operator Certificate course,  covers the general features and functions of a maritime VHF radio,  correct distress and urgency procedures for ‘Mayday’ and ‘Pan Pan’ calls, pro-words and phonetic alphabet, trip reports, weather services, callsigns and EPIRBS.
