They have a sailing club, Paul is the person to contact, I am sure he will be happy with any questions From the Rawene FB page.......

Hi all, after a dinghy for a tender, I am based in Whangarei but anywhere between Omaha Beach and Kerikeri would be fine, cheers

Marina Shop Opua do third party, Paid annual bill today, $550 for 32ft 1980 ferro,

Closed down about 6 weeks ago, the council wouldn't negotiate on the price of the lease apparently so the kids decided it wasn't worth it to keep it open, great shame

We have a very active and large percentage of liveaboards here in Whangarei. Just counted in the 30 boats around the berth I am on we have 22 that are liveaboards. You couldn't get to much further away from where you are now thou. I would suggest ringing and talking to a cat-1 issuing agent, a meet up with them and talk about your options would be a good step in starting your plans.

I’m keen on a project that has just come up so am interested to see if anyone else wants this magnificent adventure craft. There is space inside for one person to sleep or a couple to hide from rain. Feel free to message me with questions.

Locks only keep out honest people sadly

Done

Now back on the water and renamed Dora.

Whangarei Marina is accessible during the day

Yeap, my neighbour on the piles said they dived on everyone at this end on Monday.

They dived on the boats up here at the town basin this week. Will wait to see what they say but will be interesting to see what they do about all the marina structure. Will they put it in the too hard basket like Marsden cove??

Well was having a talk to the marina manger yesterday afternoon and apparently they are not allowed to dive on the boats at the moment. It is against OSH regulations as there has been two sightings of a leopard sea in Whangarei Harbour.....

Peter Freeman in the 80's circumnavigated in a home built 32ft Hartley Ferro, held the world record for fastest sub 50ft boat non stop.

I went down for a look this afternoon, sobering doesn't even begin to describe it. It looks like at high tide it will have about four feet of water around it and it isn't a small yacht. It would take some serious gear to get it back in the water and the tides are only getting smaller. Will post up some photos in the next few days, I am just waiting to hear back from the owners to see if they mind. Have also offered them the use of my yacht if they need a liveaboard for a ,month or two.

Added mine last week, 25yr old brick. Still ready to go offshore in a few years...
