🌊⚓️ Exciting News from Blue Water Electrical & Auckland Marine Systems Ltd! 🛥️🔋

We're thrilled to announce the successful electrical repowering of the H28 sailboat "Santa Cruz"! Our mission was to create a serene sailing experience for a family passionate about the sea, including their autistic son who prefers a quieter journey.

Thanks to the dedicated efforts of our teams at Blue Water Electrical and Auckland Marine Systems, "Santa Cruz" now glides through the waters with a whisper-quiet 5KW electric engine from Combi Smartline, Netherlands. This transformation was driven by the desire to share the joy of sailing with every family member, in harmony with the ocean's tranquility.

🔌 As proud Battery Town Marine suppliers, we've outfitted "Santa Cruz" with state-of-the-art Discover Battery LiFePO4 48V batteries from Canada. Our goal? To establish this brand as a frontrunner in New Zealand's Marine Lithium technology. The boat's battery bank boasts 13 batteries, delivering 390ah at 48V.

⚡️🌞 Sea trials were a success, showing an average speed of 5.5 knots and only 10% battery usage per hour even under partially cloudy skies. This means an impressive 10-hour motoring time between charges! Charging is efficiently handled via solar power and shorepower, managed by Discover's advanced battery system and our Victron equipment. This ensures a closed-loop charging process and optimal maintenance of the batteries.

And that's not all! We've installed a custom-made stainless steel frame to support 900W of solar panels, achieving a peak of 20amps DC at 48V on clear days.

With this setup, "Santa Cruz" is more than ready for a summer of safe and serene cruising around the Hauraki Gulf.

🌟 Here's to quieter waters and brighter sailing adventures!

Lets go boating!

It's the news many Aucklanders have waited weeks to hear - from 11:59pm on Tuesday 5 October those in the big smoke will be able to hit the water again.

Here’s everything you need to know about the new restrictions at Level 3:

🛥️ You will now be able to go boating — including fishing from a motorised boat or vessel, sailing, scuba diving, jetskiing and camp overnight.
🛥️ There are some restrictions — outdoor activities with other people are limited to 2 households, and a maximum of 10 people.
🛥️ If a boat has an enclosed space, only one household or bubble can go boating.
🛥️ If a boat does not have an enclosed space, 2 households or a maximum of 10 people can participate.
🛥️ At Alert Level 3, you must continue to wear a face covering at certain places, and to keep 2 metres away from people who are not in your bubble at the boat ramp. Scan in to keep track of where you go.
🛥️ The easing of Alert Level 3 restrictions will not extend to the Waikato Alert Level 3 area.
🛥️ The air, road & sea boundaries between Auckland and the rest of the New Zealand, including the Alert Level 3 area in Waikato, will remain in place.

But most importantly given your pride and joy has likely been sitting around for a while, do the old girl a favour and give her the once over before you head out! Remember the essentials:

✅ Log a trip report with the Coastguard App
✅ Carry at least 2 forms of water proof communication
✅ Wear a life jacket
✅ Check your local marine weather to see what’s going on out there before you hit the water
✅ Look out for yourself, your loved ones and most importantly enjoy yourself

See you out there and know that Coastguard Radio has your back!
