The only Purpose-built Waterfront
Covered Boat Repair Facility on Ireland’s
East Coast
in Malahide, Co. Dublin.
The
Covered Boat Repair Facility offers a complete
range of maintenance, refurbishment and repair
services, all conveniently available within
the confines of Malahide Marina. The 2,000
sq. ft. facility
is operated by Malahide Yacht Services, headed
up by
Grant
MacEwan, Yacht Services Manager. During
2007, with his crew of five experienced
professionals, Grant
carried out repair and maintenance work on
over 185 vessels. These jobs ranged from
fitting bow-thrusters and stern thrusters,
repairing hulls and keels, installing new
engines, spray-painting, polishing and
antifouling, to simple installations such as
fitting VHF radios and aerials or new
batteries, new horns, anodes or rope-cutters.
Their services are engaged by several boat
sales companies for the commissioning of new
vessels.
The
waterfront covered boat repair facility
accommodates vessels of up to 55ft, and
frequently caters for up to four boats at a
time. The Yacht Services Manager
co-ordinates the movement of each vessel so
that from the moment the truck pulls up at the
yard gate, the 30-ton mobile hoist with
mast-crane can off-load the vessel and set it
down in the Covered Boat Repair Facility and
work can progress according to schedule.
Not
all work requires the vessel to locate within
the Covered Boat Repair Facility. In
many cases the required jobs were accomplished
without even lifting the boat ashore.
Malahide Marina’s customers enjoy these
services locally, and vessels come from other
locations to avail of this comprehensive
service. Their testimonials show their
appreciation (see right).
