On Tuesday the 1st of May we travel to Boat Haulage at Birkenhead and to Geoff Bagnal's yard at Milford Marina. Unitec has new Health and Safety requirements for these "off campus experiences" which means that you all need to have filled in an Off Campus Experience Acknowledgment form I will have these with me
Boat Haulage is a company that transports all manner of boats by road, they will describe the loading and unloading procedure they use on and off their trucks, they also build support systems for boats that are being shipped overseas
Geoff Bagnal's Yard is a small slipway operation, this gives a good insight into the differences between a more traditional operation than what you have seen at Gulf Harbour and Westpark.
After our discussion on teak deck repair and leaking windows I decided to put a link to sketches that may help https://picasaweb.google.com/113782465744253657753/RepairAndTransportationSketches
Tuesday 8th May
We have a final group presentation when that is completed the session will follow on with a discussion on the process's for painting. This will give you information that will apply to your case study on repainting a Stewart 34. We could put the information for that under the following headings
Health and Safety and General Hardstand rules Hardstand rules
General Painting Procedure shrink wrap
Preparation preparation video
Coatings and application
Altex Coatings
Non Skid and Antifouling
Abrasive Paper
I suggest you study the information on the web pages (links provided) to enable everyone to participate in the class discussion you can continue with your case studies in any time that is left
