2flit 23 Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 We are looking to have a yard scrape and spray new bottom paint on a Farrier F39 trimaran. We don't know the area and looking for advice. We are in Opua now and will be sailing to the south island in early January. We had JJ haul us on his trailer last year but this point loaded the hull and cracked an integrated water tank that we had to repair. I think either a "SeaLift"; Crane, or a wide travel lift is best for our hulls. I don't want to do the work this year and looking for the yard to do a good job.

Hardstand Directory Thanks for the hardstand directory... hauling a tri is a bit trickier than most boats; Marsden can not haul us. Whangarei... Oceania Marine is looking into it.... we are also curious about the yard's reputation/customer satisfaction since we want them to do the prep and paint. Edited December 16, 2020 by 2flit Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kick Ass 25 Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Am pretty sure Gulf Harbour can lift you. Believe my parents cat is 27feet wide and they can haul there. Also Hibiscus marine coatings are a great company to work with who are based at Gulf Harbour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kick Ass 25 Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Also up the Weiti River there is a haul out yard that has a crane which would also be able to haul you. https://www.hibiscusmarineandstorage.co.nz/ Have no experience with the contractors up there.

Ladyhawk 21 Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 We just did exactly this a week or so ago at Sulphur Point marina in Tauranga, 10.6 x 8m tri, they have a hydraulic trailer. No problem whatsoever, easiest haulout we've ever had. Call Greg, 07 578 8747 or email admin@taurangamarina.co.nz We used Aaron Lane at Marine Reflections to do the bottom paint, again great job, painless exercise 0275135863 Stop in on your way past to the South Island Quote Link to post Share on other sites
