Boat handling
There are various options available to you depending on your requirements.
Lift, scrub and block off
The boat will be lifted in a straddle boat hoist and the underwater section washed with a pressure washer. Depending on the type of boat, it may then be put into a cradle (subject to availability) or blocked off. Yachts which are blocked off will be supported on wooden pit props.
Power boats will be stood on wooden blocks and supported either by metal stands or wooden pit props. In all cases, no supports must be adjusted by the customer, including props, stands and cradle arms. If you wish these to be moved then the marina staff can arrange to do this if considered safe to do so. The average time for this operation is one hour.
Lift, scrub and relaunch
The boat will be lifted, the underside washed with a pressure washer and on completion re-launched and taken back to berth. In this case, depending on size of boat the operation will take circa one hour and does not allow time for any works to be carried out on the boat whilst it is held in the slings.
Launch
In this case the boat will be collected from a position ashore, launched with the hoist and taken to berth.
Lift from trailer to yard or yard to trailer
In this case the same procedure applies as lift and block off except that the boat will be taken off the trailer and blocked off, or lifted from blocks to a trailer.
Hold in slings
This is normally used in conjunction with the Lift, Scrub and Re-launch and at additional charge, the boat will be held for one hour in the slings to allow works to be completed. However, anti-foul must not be applied to the boat during this operation.
Movement Ashore
In this case the boat, whether blocked off, in a cradle or on a trailer, will be relocated from one position to another, for example when a vessel is delayed in launching it may be necessary to move the boat in order to launch another vessel located behind it.
Movement in cradle
This service would be used when an owner wishes to prepare/paint areas behind the supporting pads of the cradle. The boat would be lifted and re-positioned in the cradle in order for these works to be carried out.
