SY Sassafras shrink wrapped

July 2010 - SY Sassafras Teak Deck Refit Project Concludes.

Undertaken at the Auckland Viaduct, the refit project on board SY Sassafras involved removing and replacing the entire teak deck and a number of joinery items.

Shrink Wrap Services were engaged to provide a plastic tent that covered the entire vessel, effectively creating a temporary shed. As shed space is at a premium in the Auckland Viaduct, this increasingly popular refit option enabled the work to be completed within a very tight 3 month schedule. Plus the Nautical Contracting team enjoyed the warm and cosy working conditions!

SY Sassafras and her crew have now sailed for Fiji's warmer waters.

July 2010 - SY Kaori Refit Underway

Meanwhile, also in the Auckland Viaduct, Nautical Contracting are refitting the teak deck on board SY Kaori, under contract to Teak Decking Systems. The refit work to be undertaken by Nautical Contracting also includes a master head conversion using cherry and corian.
