We are hauling out at Clarke's Court in two days time. Visited the yard today and all looks fine, but as it just opened last year there is still work in progress on the back up infrastructure like

My 2000 super maramu is in BVI. I am looking for a facility that could refinish the decking (getting worn). I heard there is a good facility in Martinique. Anyone know the name? Thanks

Ben, As a followup to my original post, I have not yet tackled removal of the 110 volt to 230 volt transformer to see if it can be repaired, nor have I been able to find any blown fuse or tripped

Thanks Pat. If you have extra rail bolts we would be happy to purchase 8. Did you have any concerns about the weight rating of these Vetus mounts? Mike Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2016 9:14 AM To:

Mike , Jamestown marine has the mounts for $168.00 . If I can do anything to facilitate the delivery of the mounts to you , let me know. I think I bought the bolts from Mc Master -Carr , and had to

Ben, We have hauled out at Prickly Bay Marina and found them very good. There is a new haulout at Clarke's Court Bay...newer and bigger lift and the same price as Prickly...do not know any more than
