Boatyard Biz: No rest for winter's weary, Haven Harbour spring-bound

Winter at Haven Harbour is a time for our staff to prepare for the summer season to come – and to complete many major projects for our clients before their official splash in the spring.

Whether it be the painting of hulls, re-power of engines, repair of teak, or installation of new electronics, the boating off-season is primetime for owners to enhance their vessels in preparation for the season ahead – and for Haven Harbour Yacht Services to help check off numerous vessel improvement wish lists.

Two of very few businesses open year-round in town, there is always work to be done by the trusted teams at Haven Harbour Marina and Haven Harbour South. Case in point being this week's completion (and total hullside transformation) of a Sabre 38, pictured above with progress photo gallery, from green to blue – bringing about a fitting name change from Evergreen to Aquasition; Or the recent re-power of another vessel with a new Beta Marine 35 engine.

Although we welcome winter as a time to catch our collective breath in the "off-season," the truth of the matter is that these short and chilly days are abuzz with excitement and activity in our shops and boatyards.
