Antifoul
Antifouling is an important part of boat maintenance, particularly for both timber and fiberglass hulls that spend the majority of their time in the water rather than being dry-stored.
It is typically reapplied on a regular basis, approximately every 12-months here in Victoria, due to our low water temperatures.
Boat Restorations
Does your boat require a serious makeover?
Wooden
Whether it’s a clinker dinghy, a Couta Boat, an ocean-going yacht or a motor vessel, we offer a complete restoration service. One of our greatest pleasures is breathing new life into an old boat. Wooden boats are unique and if properly maintained they will outlast their owners! Many wooden boats are like members of a family and are handed down through the generations, each has a story to tell.
We have undertaken extensive restoration works on many wooden boats including new keels, steam bent frame replacement, new decks, new cabins, engine repowering, electrical work and re-painting.
Depending on the wishes of the client, we can undertake the restoration for you or can offer advice and assistance for those that like to be hands-on.
Fibreglass
Yes, we can help!
Does your boat require Osmosis repairs, gelcoat repairs, a re-spray, new upholstery or repowering?
Many fibreglass boats have timber floors and trims which we can revitalise or replace if required. Perhaps you would like to remodel your galley or cabin? Marine plywood is used extensively in many fibreglass boats, and often these areas require re-glassing as traditional polyester layups can de-laminate from timber/plywood over time.
We only use modern epoxy resins when sheathing timber substrates with fibreglass cloth. Epoxy resins are designed specifically for this task and provide a permanent solution. We have all the skills and experience to undertake all these tasks.
Boat Haulage
Need your boat moved?
Corsair Boats provides slipping and haulage services for annual maintenance. We are able to haul boats up to 8 metres (26’) in length and weighing 3,500 kgs. We can collect your boat from the mooring, de-rig and remove ballast if required and haul it to our yard for winter storage.
What if my boat is larger than this? No problem, we can arrange haulage for larger vessels utilising other boat haulage companies in our region.
Our haulage services are for boats based on the Mornington Peninsula. Should you require long-distance or interstate haulage we are happy to introduce you to others that can assist.
Boat Storage
Need to store your boat for the winter?
For peace of mind, rather than your boat left unattended on a mooring over the winter months, we are able to provide storage at our facility in Rosebud at competitive rates. Prices start from $25 per week depending on the size of the boat.
Storing your boat at our site allows us to carry out any maintenance efficiently. However, if you like to do the work yourself we are happy to provide assistance and grant access to the yard during normal business hours.
Please contact us for further information regarding storage conditions and charges.
Mechanical & Servicing
Does your engine need a service?
We offer services for all the systems required to keep your boat running reliably. Engine servicing of all popular makes of marine diesel engines including Yanmar, Volvo Penta, Perkins and Nanni to name a few.
Corsair Boats can perform maintenance of propulsion, plumbing and electrical systems.
Whether it’s a basic service, a rebuild or a re-power of your vessel and all associated systems, we can assist.
