CEO’S Message

Inside

We are half way through 2017 and there has been no res-

pite in activity on the marina. Usually the winter months

see a bit of a slowdown, particularly on the hardstand, but

this year it hasn’t happened.

Berth occupancy has remained steady during 2017 and in

addition we have had a lot more casual visitors using our

berths. This is not only because of activity generated by

the Wellington Marine Centre tenants but also because

the service and features offered on the hardstand make it

a first class location to get work done on vessels. More

small commercial vessel owners are seeing the advantage

of doing their maintenance work here.

Mike Croft and Tony Kelly have provided excellent service

and are part of the reason the hardstand is achieving great

results. In fact, our projections indicate the 2017 results

will be 20% higher than for the previous year.

The Wellington Marine Centre has recently lost one ten-

ant-Gulf Group Marine Brokers-however the marina will

not be without a boat broker. Greg Marsden has set up

an office in Unit 10, which will combine Vining Ship Bro-

kers and MM Services both run by Greg.

We now have units 9 and 12 free, although the latter is

being used as a temporary storage facility.

Compass Coffee is now well established on site and cafe

patronage is increasing daily. Seaview Marina has provided

the café with a retrofitted container which will include

benches, seating and a wood burning fire to provide a shel-

tered and warm space for café patrons on Wellington’s

more miserable days .

All that is left to complete is to position the floating pon-

toons in place and the access gangway. Smaller vessels will

then be able to moor alongside for a coffee and a chat. A

great and unique facility!

The recent email sent to berth holders about the regula-

tions governing connecting to shore power when the vessel

is unattended, has caused some comment. Unfortunately

unless you are on your boat, or have a current Electrical

Warrant of Fitness, it is illegal to be connected to shore

power.

At the moment Mana Marina is being audited by the Minis-

try of Economic Development. The Ministry have the pow-

er to fine a marina $10,000 for every illegal connection.

The other important issue for boat owners is that your ves-

sel insurance will not cover damage resulting from an illegal

connection to shore power.

Information for berth holders on the requirements for con-

necting to shore power are outlined in more detail in this

newsletter.

Marina Administrator, Suzanne Willis has handed in her

notice and will be leaving Seaview Marina at the end of Oc-

tober. After 12 years as Marina Administrator she will leave

a big hole in our team and it will be very difficult to find

someone as dedicated, personable and easy to work with to

replace her.

We all wish her well.

Best wishes

Alan McLellan, CEO

Arthur Stewart, who has been

on the Seaview Marina Board

since it became a Council Con-

trolled Organisation in 2003,

retired in April this year. He

has been replaced by Peter

Steel.

Arthur was part of the estab-

lishment board which was set

up by the Hutt City Council to

explore the future direction of

Seaview Marina, when it was operated within the Council’s

Parks and Reserves Department.

He set up his own valuation practice in 1973, which after a

number of amalgamations became Darroch Ltd, of which he

was a director and chairman. After the company was sold to

DTZ UK Arthur re-established his own business consultancy –

Arthur Stewart Ltd. For six years he was a government ap-

pointee to the Valuers Registration Board.

On the yachting and boating front Arthur has served as Com-

modore of both the Lowry Bay Yacht Club and the Royal Port

Nicholson Yacht Club and is a life member and President of

the latter. He served as a Director and Chairman of Yachting

New Zealand. Arthur has been an outstanding yachtsman

and represented New Zealand on numerous occasions, win-

ning the Southern Cross Cup in 1983 and the Kenwood Cup

in 1986. He was appointed a NZ Sports Ambassador by Mike

Moore in 1984.

Over his fourteen years on the board Arthur has bought his

considerable knowledge of property matters and his yachting

administration skills to great effect in guiding the develop-

ment of the marina.

While Arthur will be missed, the

Board has a very able replace-

ment in Peter Steel.

Peter has degrees in engineer-

ing and economics and has had

a career as a consulting engi-

neer with over thirty five years

experience in the design and

implementation of a wide range

of civil and infrastructure

projects.

Another area of expertise is infrastructure asset manage-

ment to optimise life cycle costs and performance risks for

infrastructure assets. Peter has held senior posts with Be-

ca Group, KiwiRail and the Australian SMEC Group.

Peter has substantial experience in the design and construc-

tion of port, marina and coastal protection projects. In fact

he was involved in the design and construction of Seaview

Marina, when he was working for Beca Group.

He is a past President of the Wellington Chamber of Com-

merce and has been a Councillor and Deputy Chair of Wel-

tec Polytechnic, as well as Councillor for Weltec and

Whitireia’s Combined Council.

His experience and knowledge of marina design and opera-

tion is already providing a valuable contribution at the

Board table.

Help us ‘FIX IT’ Marina staff are always keen to keep on top of maintenance around the marina. As Seaview Marina is a large site, your help in reporting faults and maintenance issues is appreciated. To ensure issues are dealt with promptly please report all faults or maintenance matters, including details of the prob-lem and the location, to the office staff or by email to:

fix@seaviewmarina.co.nz Emails will receive an acknowledgement and your request will

be logged on the marina website. To follow the resolution of

any issue raised please go to www.seaviewmarina.co.nz and

click on ‘About Our Marina’, then ‘Maintenance’.

Marina Administrator departing Removal of Pole Moorings hits a snag The contract for the removal of the pile moorings was let

some time ago. Unfortunately the company engaged to do

the work has had difficulty removing them and have so far

tried a couple of methods without success. They intend to

try a third method and we have our fingers crossed that this

time it will work.

After 12 years as our Marina

Administrator, Suzanne has

decided it’s time to leave the

Seaview Marina team. At the

end of October she will say

goodbye to Seaview Marina

and begin a new chapter in

her life.

Not many of you will know, but Suzanne is a talented

artist and she is keen to get more involved in this pas-

sion. I think her trip to Greece in 2015 on a painting

holiday made her realise it was something she wanted

to spend more time doing.

Her departure will leave a big hole in our close-knit

team. We are going to miss her a lot for her

knowledge, attitude and enthusiasm in making the

marina into a great facility.

Suzanne was responsible for setting up a lot of our

accounting practices and was closely involved in the

implementation of the Marina Management System.

Over the years she has also provided invaluable input

to both myself and the Board.

It’s not only the fact that she has played a key role in

the development of the marina over the last 12 years,

but she has also brought a wealth of knowledge of

both our clients and boating matters to her role. In

fact, Suzanne has been on the marina site for over 24

years, firstly as manager of the LBYC and then as

Seaview Marina’s administrator. That sort of experi-

ence is very hard to replace.

Suzanne has given plenty of notice and I’m hoping to

employ her replacement quickly so she and Alison can

help the new administrator learn the complexities of

the role.

I know you will all join me in wishing her well for her

future.

The Marina weather station was damaged in a recent souther-

ly gale. While most functions are still operating perfectly,

some of you may have noticed the wind speed indicator has

unfortunately given up the ghost.

We have investigated alternative options for the weather sta-

tion and have ordered a replacement which we hope will be

delivered and installed soon. Until then we apologise for any

inconvenience caused.

Severely fouled vessel directed to immediate

dry-dock

Recently a heavy lift carrier vessel enroute for New Zealand

territory was flagged as a high-risk for biofouling because of

a number of factors including a large number of port visits,

long periods idle in port and an expired antifouling system.

Upon entry to a North Island port the vessel underwent a

dive inspection at the request of MPI, which confirmed the

presence of severe biofouling, particularly on niche areas

on the ship. Percentage cover of biofouling on the stern

was nearing 80 – 100% of the surface area. The vessel was

directed to leave New Zealand waters immediately.

New Zealand’s new biosecurity rules: The Craft Risk Man-

agement Standard for Biofouling

To manage the risk of invasive marine species establishing

in New Zealand waters, MPI issued the Craft Risk Manage-

ment Standard for Biofouling on Vessels. These rules re-

quire all vessels to arrive in New Zealand with a “clean hull”

and will become mandatory in May 2018. MPI is encourag-

ing vessels to use this time to establish best practice man-

agement. Until this time, MPI can take action on vessels

which pose a severe biofouling risk.

If you would like to know more about the requirements,

including how best to comply, visit the MPI website: http://

www.mpi.govt.nz/importing/border-clearance/vessels/

biofouling-management/, or contact stand-

ards@mpi.govt.nz

Why are MPI taking action?

Foreign marine species most commonly arrive in New Zea-

land waters on international vessels as biofouling (the

growth on underwater surfaces of vessels). Of 187 foreign

marine species recorded as being established in New Zea-

land, 75% are likely to have arrived as vessel biofouling.

Once established here, some species can have severe eco-

nomic impacts and damage New Zealand’s marine environ-

ment. Vessel biofouling also plays a major role in the sub-

sequent domestic spread of foreign marine species. This

includes dispersal from ports to pristine world heritage are-

as which must be protected, such as Fiordland National

Park.

Compass Coffee goes under cover Compass Coffee has now been at Seaview Marina for just over six months. The staff have seen southerlies come and go and a steady increase of patrons who now fre-quent this fantastic facility which complements a great Marina. By the time this newsletter goes to print the cafe will have a custom-designed indoor seating container in place and the floating pontoon about to be installed.

The customised container (pictured left) just needs some finishing touch-es—the inclusion of furniture, bench-es and a wood burning stove - before being officially open for business. It will give cafe customers the oppor-tunity to enjoy the view of our Mari-na whilst being out of the elements, sitting by a cosy little fire inside. The container will also be completely stand-alone, using renewable energy to power lighting and recycled pallets from Burnsco to fuel the fire. The floating pontoon will be the fair-weather option for cafe patrons to enjoy that closer connection to the water. Boaties will also be able to moor alongside to collect and enjoy coffee and food. This will make it New Zealand's first drive through cafe for boats and it is Seaview Marina that leads the way. Some marina customers have ex-pressed concerns that the café pon-toon and vessels tying up alongside it might restrict vessels wishing to ac-cess the north side of A Pier. We can reassure you that there will be a minimum of 15m clearance be-tween the pontoon and A Pier when there is a vessel at the pontoon and up to 20m at other times. This will give 10m vessels on the north side of A Pier ample space to manoeuvre. Michael and the team at Compass Coffee look forward to seeing you either by boat bike, car or walking.

Note winter hours of operation for Compass Coffee are: 8.30am ~ 3.30pm weekends 7.00am ~ 3.30pm week days

Defibrillators Save Lives

We have a defibrillator

on site at Seaview Mari-

na.

The defibrillator is locat-

ed in a cabinet on the

landing just outside the

office door.

Instructions detailing

how to access the unit

are printed on the front

of the cabinet.

A defibrillator is a life-saving machine that delivers an

electrical stimulus to the heart to re-start or stabilize

heart function.

All marina staff are fully trained in the use of our

defibrillator but any non-trained operators can use it as

the unit has full instructions and a voice prompt.

Free Boaties Information booklets

The 2017 Boaties Book and the latest

Radio Handbook are now available.

Please keep piers and fingers clear

Obstructions on piers and fingers are not only a tripping

hazard but can prevent other berth holders from access-

ing or leaving their vessels. Please consider your neigh-

bours and do not store any items on marina fingers or

piers.

Vining Shipbrokers expand to Wellington

After several years of a partial presence in Wellington,

Vining Shipbrokers Ltd have now established a permanent

base at Seaview Marina in Unit 9 just behind Burnsco.

Greg Marsden will be leading the Wellington Vinings team

and will be providing brokerage services to clients through-

out the lower half of the North Island.

Following the Wellington Boat Show, Greg and the Vinings

management discussed the future potential at Seaview

Marina and were impressed with its vision for growth over

the next 10 years, especially in the Marine Services sector.

Vinings felt that with the current levels of investment and

development, Seaview Marina had the potential to become

a national hub for services and Vinings wished to be an

integral part of that journey.

Greg summed up the reasoning for the move to Seaview,

“Vinings as a long standing national brokerage has a strong

reputation built over many years. Without a permanent

presence, clients can feel remote from the broker, Welling-

ton was an obvious gap in the coverage.

A client’s ability to visit the office, (or just know that the

office exists) generates confidence and reassurance in the

listing, sale and purchase processes. The establishment of

our brokerage office in Wellington will support this aim, and

we look forward to a long partnership with SML, the

Seaview Marina users and the wider marine community.

Greg and the team at Vinings also felt that clients in the

Wellington region, and in general, were not being serviced

perhaps as comprehensively as they could be. They have

looked to address this through the MM Services brand

which will be co-located in Unit 9, and has been designed

to complement the brokerages activities.

Greg and the team understand that clients are often time

poor, live or work at a distance form the marina or simply

require a central point of contact to organise services.

MMS has been designed to offer additional ‘wrap services’

to support clients manage their vessels through the various

stages of ownership.

These additional services will be provided through the

MMS brand (www.mmservices.co.nz). These services in-

clude, but are not limited to; vessel valeting, cleaning, inte-

rior design, staging, general project / vessel management

or simply a ‘foot on the ground’. MMS see a demand for

these traditionally client led services, but have identified

that as other pressures increase, clients are demanding far

more ‘turn key’ solutions, enabling them to maximise the

time enjoying their vessel.

Vining Shipbrokers and MM Services are delighted to be

here in Seaview, and as the only brokerage with a perma-

nent presence in the Wellington region, Vining’s aim to

provide services which are second to none.

Please don’t hesitate to contact either Vinings or MMS at

any time.

The Petone Lions Club organised and ran the inaugural Wel-

lington Boat Show at Seaview Marina in April 2017, with

support from Hutt city Council, Seaview Marina and event

managers Robert Baldock and Margie Petherick .

The organisers vision was to produce an event of a scale that

would attract out of the region suppliers, be entertaining

and meet the following objectives -Health & Safety on the

water, promotion of the marine industry, promotion of

Seaview Marina as a premier marina in the region, attract

visitors to Lower Hutt and promote the area, draw attention

to environmental & philanthropic issues related to Welling-

ton Harbour and to promote the Greater Wellington region

as a leading recreational maritime facility of NZ

Organisation started over 20 months out with planning and

regular meetings with affected groups of berth holders,

liveaboards, Lowry Bay Yacht Club and the Seaview Marina

Users Group.

The Wellington Boat Show was launched at Lowry Bay Yacht

Club and opened by Mayor Ray Wallace on 6 April.

Plenty of feedback has been received and many lessons

learned. Petone Lions conducted a survey during the show

to gather visitor and exhibitor feedback.

The more popular activities included;

H Pier action; “Have a Sail” with Sailability, open boats,

charter trips and visits by Police vessel “Lady Elizabeth III”,

The large display of yachts staged by Wellington Yachting

Association and six region clubs,

Two days on the water for the Wellington Radio Boat Club

in front of Lowry Bay Yacht Club.

Award winning historical boat skiff display by boat builder

Russell Smith in the hardstand area.

Constant music by DJ and live bands in the food court area.

On stage talk by leading yachtswoman.

Exhibition areas indoors and out.

ISSUE 34 JUNE 2017

Lessor known by visitors was the success the event proved to

be for not only the exhibitors but also for Seaview Marina.

By showcasing the marina to a larger audience an increased

awareness of the depth of facilities and talent based here

was created. Many exhibitors noted this as one of the main

benefits of taking part.

Redhot Marine said they would happily support future boat

shows. The event helped to build their company profile with

local boaties, led to the sale of two motors during the show

and has resulted in increased service work

Matt Gottard of MG composites, based on the marina

boatyard, impressed many with the craftsmanship evident in

his newly built launch OSTRA. The decision to display this

boat at the show resulted in an order for a similar vessel.

For local charter company and fishing gear retailer, Pete

Lamb the show was ‘the best run, held in the best location

and the most friendly he had ever participated in’. The Pete

Lamb stand enjoyed positive sales on all days and being part

of the show was definitely worthwhile.

Some of the other feedback received has shown where the

Boat Show could have been improved.

Visitors said the show could have been smaller in land size,

perhaps not using the hardstand. A date change to March

and reduction in the number of days from 4 to 3 was also

suggested. Others wanted more educational talks and more

trailer boats to look at. Visitors also wanted better direction-

al signage, floors in the marquees to keep feet out of puddles

of rain on the wettest days. They also would have liked

better food offerings and the main food marquee to be

placed near the water so they could eat, drink and listen to

music while enjoying the marina views.

Petone Lions are already planning the 2018 Wellington Boat

Show and will be using this feedback to make changes.

The next show will be run in March over 3 days with set up

time reduced to make berth holder disruption much shorter.

Venue size will be reduced to make it tighter and more inter-

esting and access for berth holders will be improved.

Like many new events. just getting started is a mission, how-

ever Petone Lions are happy with their inaugural Wellington

Boat Show and wish to take the experiences and knowledge

gained into 2018 for a tighter more exciting event.

Petone Lions Club greatly appreciated the co-operation and

support received from all marina users, residents, tenants

and the Lowry Bay Yacht Club.

Follow us

The 24-Hour Endurance Yacht Race 2017 has been and

gone. It was a wonderful event with 18 yachts of all sizes

on the start line.

In total, well over 100 people participated in this unique

race, including skippers, their crew, race management,

shore crew and not to forget, many family and friends who

followed the race minute-by-minute via a special website

on the internet. They were cheering on their favourite

yachts from the comfort of their Lay-Z-Boy.

The weather was very benign, for some too benign, as the

wind never blew harder than about 10 knots and some-

times fell away altogether for a period of time. Neverthe-

less, for a first, we couldn’t have wished for better condi-

tions. Warm and sunny during the day and open skies dur-

ing the night featuring a beautiful near-full moon. Enthusi-

astic and positive feedback from competitors gave us the

confidence to start planning for next year’s event, which

will take place on the weekend of 3 and 4 March 2018.

This is more than a month sooner than this year’s race,

which will give us longer hours of daylight and warmer tem-

peratures and again a full moon at night. Hopefully, it’s not

overcast that night. While most competitors belonged to

Lowry Bay Yacht Club, several yachts from Royal Port Ni-

cholson and Evans Bay Yacht and Motor Boat Club couldn’t

resist the temptation of having a go. That made the race a

true Wellington region event.

Testarossa, skippered by Grant Reid, sailed the longest dis-

tance of 102.27 nautical miles during the 24 hours, which

makes it the record to beat in future races. The winner on

handicap was Ex-Tension, skippered by Carl Longstaff assist-

ed by a large crew of family and friends.

The 24-Hour Endurance Yacht Race is open to all keelers

and trailer-sailers 20ft and over. Yacht owners who are not

a member of a boating club are also very welcome to com-

pete, provided their vessel complies with the Yachting New

Zealand safety rules and regulations for a race of this na-

ture.

The 24-Hour Endurance Yacht Race 2017 was generously

supported by many sponsors, Seaview Marina Limited being

one of them. Visiting yachts competing in this race were

given free marina berths for up to four days and the marina

management made very valuable prizes available to many

competitors. An event like this could not have taken place,

if it weren’t for the generous sponsorships from local busi-

nesses. A big thank you to all of them.

Want to get a feel for what this race was all about? Check LBYC’s website, www.lbyc.org.nz/24-hour-endurance-race and watch the 15-minute video covering the entire race. You’ll enjoy it.

Important reminder re connecting to

shore power at Seaview Marina

We are aware that not all berth holders are complying

with the regulations regarding connecting to shore pow-

er at Seaview Marina.

The rules are simple:

If your vessel does not have a current Electrical

Warrant of Fitness you CANNOT LEGALLY connect to

shore power.

Customers whose vessels do not have an Electrical

Warrant of Fitness CANNOT PLUG INTO SHORE

POWER IF THEIR VESSEL IS UNATTENDED.

All temporary connection leads must be tested and

tagged annually.

All customers must comply with the

above regulations.

Failure to do so could result in lives and property being

at risk and substantial fines being imposed on the mari-

na.

Seaview Marina management and staff have the right

to disconnect any electrical shore power supply from

any vessel that does not comply with the above.

See the following pages for more details about the cur-

rent electrical regulations and requirements.

2017 Pete Lamb Wellington Fishing Competition a great success

The weather came to the party this year with excellent conditions on all three days. On Friday it was 10 knot variable winds with a 1.5metre swell on the south and pretty much flat on the west coast and harbour. On Saturday it was virtually flat calm. The swell eased on the south and it was close to perfect conditions. On Sunday a northerly got up to 15/20knots by midday and the swell dropped to less than a metre on the south. Stats - We had approximately 215 entrants including 12 kayaks, 32 shore only fishers, 23 kids, 18 juniors, 15 ladies, 48 boat/shore fish-ers and 67 boat only fishers. Prior to the competition a big southerly may have put some of the fish off the bite with slightly colder water. Snapper were harder to catch in the harbour and out west but some anglers got their limits with one large 8kg fish from Nick Bowden from Kapiti. Only one kingi was weighed in but a few got away. Gurnard, kaha-wai, tarakihi, blue cod and bluenose were about in good numbers but moki, spotty shark, elephant fish and puka were harder to get onto. Surfcasting was tough going as the south coast was a bit swelly and the water was dirty close into shore. Sunday morning was the best but only one spotty shark was caught. At 11.6kgs it was a big one though, well done Ricky Nunez!
