Work on the second section of the timber decking now complete. Almost 2000 linear metres of treated local hardwood and over 5000 stainless steel screws. And the whole job completed by one man, Steve Abbott. Great work Steve. Thank you. 
The work on the replacement of the main timber jetty is well underway. For the record more than 1920 lineal metres of hardwood timbers are being replaced and the new boards are secured by more than 4000 Stainless bulge batten screws and glue. All the work is hand-done by Steve Abbott. The local hardwood timbers have been treated to ensure long-life.
Nice to host boats from Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club in Sydney. Remembering Kay Cottee AO ( a life member of RPAYC) is key to the way Yamba Marina operates!!!!

The new timber wharf on the eastern end of the marina is really taking shape now. A few more weeks and the job will be complete. Local treated hardwood secured by thousands of stainless screws. Steve Abbott is doing a great job!
The first stage of the replacement of the main deck is now compete and access to the floating marina via the main ramp is now open. Remember however this is still a building site and will be for some weeks to come so everyone needs to be careful. The deck structure is treated local hardwood and each plank is individually laid.
We have begun major works on the timber wharf at the eastern end of the marina. This means that for an extended period the wharf will be out of bounds. We have installed temporary fencing to keep the site safe. In the short-term access to the marina will be via the ramp in front of the Marina Cafe. Sorry for any problems this may cause. Access is still available for trolleys etc via the Cafe ramp. The safety fence will be relocated as the works progress. All the wharf timbers are being replaced with new treated hardwood timber planks.
Spring is just around the corner. Lets hope the rain has gone and the sunshine is here to stay. Our travel lift has a new lease of life with a new engine and major upgrades to all moving parts. Call the marina to book in for time on the hardstand to get the boat ready for summer. Remember we only lift on Monday to Friday BUT you can work on your boat 7 days a week. Call Graham for any advice you need – 02 6646 9898.
We’d like to remind all our customers of the need for safety on the marina. If you are using bikes, electric or man-powered please DO NOT ride them on the marina walkways or fingers. It has come to our notice that some customers are riding bikes to get to and from their boats. PLEASE DO NOT DO this. Just push the bike until you leave the floating section of the marina.
Also…we like dogs….but all dogs must be on a lead when moving around the floating marina and marina grounds. The combination of dogs off leads and people riding bikes on the marina can be very dangerous.
