I'm planning to heading out to the boat on her mooring under Level 3 to work on her, seeming as my work has dropped down a few days a week. Its 500m off the wharf, do I perfectly comply and Row out/in? Or do I use the outboard like normal? The outboard is lower risk but breaking the "motorised" rule.

Deep Purple 221 Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 My understanding is that you can check it, do essential work for safety, but hanging out your boat for the day, listening to Marley, smoking a doobie while pretending to service a winch is a no-no Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tamure 362 Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 From westhaven Quote thank you for your continued patience. Westhaven Marina is unable to offer rental relief to berth holders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. If you are experiencing financial hardship please visit the Covid-19 website or IRD The purpose and function of Westhaven Marina is to keep your vessel safe and secure and offer ground facilities. Westhaven Marina is an essential service, marina services have been operating over all alert level stages. Our dockmasters have been on site offering security and have been providing spot checks on request for vessels within the marina. Please appreciate COVID-19 has also created work over and above business as usual, and all staff members have adapted to this to offer the level of service expected by our customers. All facilities have been open and available to berth holders over all alert levels and could be accessed via tag entry. Cleaning is deemed as an essential service and has also continued over the lockdown to ensure all Westhaven Marina facilities have been kept to a hygienic standard. Cleaning is essential, i.e a trip to the grid would be ok I imagine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If our travellift is up and running under L3 then I reakon you are perfectly fine to head out to your mooring and I would be using the outboard. I am sure no one will pull you up for that.
