Waiheke Marina at Kennedy Point Completed - November 2023

It is with great pride that we announce a New Zealand first - the completion and opening of a new marina that is entirely fitted out with fenders - The Waiheke Marina based at Kennedy Point.  Work began back in July 2022, when we were chosen to be the sole fender provider for the marina. This involved working with the marina to develop a fender fit for purpose for the marina and working with them to determine the initial fender layout. Once we had made all the fenders, we were out to Waiheke one day a week to install the fenders. As well as fenders, we also supplied spliced dock lines for each berth.

But the work continues, as we have now designed a deep transom fender, perfect for those with transoms lower than the wooden whaler in the marina.  We have also designed and made a pole fender for the purpose of protecting vessels from oysters, rather than for traditional fendering purposes. The next stage of this project for us is working with berth holders to customise their berths so that everything is specific and customised to the boat in each berth.
