HYS unveils new hoist dock<\/p>\n
07 Mar 2017<\/p>\n
The new hoist dock is part of a continuing programme of major improvements at Hamble Yacht Services<\/p>\n
Hamble Yacht Services’ (HYS) new hoist dock, which has been under construction for the past 12 weeks, is fully operational.<\/p>\n
The new dock accommodates the yard\u00b9s 80 tonne hoist and a second 40 tonne hoist. It replaces the previous boat lifting dock which was consigned to history after 44 years in service.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe construction work went very smoothly,\u201d said Robert Bicket of Hamble Yacht Services. \u201cWe are delighted with the work carried out by Walcon, which finished on time and on budget.\u201d<\/p>\n
The hoist dock has the capacity to lift yachts up to 33.5m length, 7.3m beam and 5.5m draft. Both the hoists have also undergone complete servicing and refurbishment.<\/p>\n
Designed by Mayhew Callum, the hoist was built by Walcon Marine, which mobilised its full fleet of three 20m barges to assist with construction and the movement of equipment and materials to the site.<\/p>\n
This infrastructure investment is part of a continuing programme of improvements at HYS since it was taken over by its current owners early 2015.<\/p>\n
