Boatyard FAQs

How Much Antifoul Do You Spray Onto My Boat?
We apply 2 full coats & a 3rd around the leading and trailing edges & waterline.

Do You Deliver Vessels?
Yes. We drive member’s vessels from the Club’s Marina or from the work berths located near the travelift. We give you a call the day before your lift to advise of your lift time. If you deliver your boat we also offer complimentary berthing. Please advise at the time of your booking that you require a berth and the Club to drive it around on the day of lift.

Do You Have Lifts For Short Turn Around Work, Pre Purchase Or Insurance Renewal Surveys?
Yes we have a service called a Quickslip which is an hour hang in the slings. Depending on the work requirements we can also offer an extended hang in slings i.e. anything over an hour to overnight. Please contact the Boatyard Office for price and availability.

How Do I Pay If I Am Unable To Be There On The Day Of Launch?
At the time of booking, we will send you a confirmation email and attached will be an agreement form. Non-member Quickslips must be paid before launching. If credit card details are not provided on the confirmation form, the Quickslip must be paid for in advance. We offer BPay and EFTOPS payment options and send you a detailed invoice.

Can I Do My Own Work?
As a member you are very welcome to work on your boat yourself so long as our conditions are met. Please email the Boatyard office for price and availability.

Can I Do My Own Waterblasting?
No. Club staff are the only ones authorised to operate the water blaster for insurance reasons with personal water blasters not permitted on the yard.
