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.

32 ft yacht on pole mooring right next to the canopy bridge in Town Basin Marina in Whangarei, approx 10m row across in sheltered water. $125 per month, shower block etc 10m away and must be the cleanest marina services in the country. However over the winter you can talk nicely to the marina office and pop onto a vacant marina berth now and then to sort bits and pieces as needed. Normally spend one to two months on one over the offpeak season for no extra charge. Yacht is 100% off the grid thou which helps. Did pick up a marina berth in Marsden Point two summers ago for $100 a week wi

I have always been told that there are two types of sailors, those that have run out of water under their boats and those that are going too, I am of the first variety......

x2 I found that with my 9.9 4 stroke it was a huge PITA to lower and raise. It would not unlock on one side if it was not pulled up dead center on the release bracket.

Reading it at the moment and they are saying no arriving into any harbour, estuary or offshore anchorage with out antifouling being cleaned. They are talking about being able to clean the hull in the water though and also making tidal grids availble across the region for hull cleaning. They plan on inspecting 2000 hulls in the region annually.
