Silvertip was designed for the former owner of Imagine, another Dubois design, however this time he wanted a boat with greater performance while maintaining exceptional comfort and cruising capacity. Silvertip's concept in style was rewarded as she won the prestigious Super Yacht Society "Best Sailing Yacht" and Showboats International "Best Sailing Yacht" awards in her class for 2001- the first yacht ever to win both awards. |

Amante was the genesis for the
new shed to be built at Gulf Harbour in 2000. In order for
TOG to paint Amante a shed of a suitable size was required
to be accessible by the 110T travel lift. Amante is a Delta 65’ heavy displacement vessel for an experienced and highly knowledgeable client. She was painted in Awlgrip Flag Blue for the Hull Topsides and Eggshell White for the Superstructure. No expense was spared with the final coats being painted off scissors lifts and cherry pickers to reduce any chance of dust. |

Prozac was designed by the late Beau Birdsall. Now owned by former R.N.Z.Y.S. Commodore Richard Endean he decided it was time for a makeover.
Prozac is another vessel plagued with the gloss topcoat delaminating from the undercoat. This is common amongst boats painted 10+ years ago with certain products. In order to apply new coatings all the delaminating paint need to be removed and the old undercoat sealed off with an epoxy primer ready for the new undercoat. |

Superflyte is one of the biggest ferries and the Fuller's fleet. TOG did a full repaint of all exterior surfaces over the winter of 2006 on the slipway at Titan Marine.
Superflyte was fully enclosed by a scaffolding structure and tented which enabled TOG to control the environment with heating and extraction. |

Jet Raider is the largest mono-hull in the Fullers Ferry fleet. 15 years worth of antifouling was coming off - literally in sheets - due to so many applications. It was calculated that there was nearly 2.5t of antifouling on the hull.
The only way to remove this was to abrasive blast the old paint off. To keep within environmental laws this needed to be contained so blasting outside was not an option. Jet Raider was travel lifted into the TOG shed at Gulf Harbour and a scaffolding structure with shrink wrap was constructed to enclose the 6m of boat extending out the shed. |

Wetnose is a 19m ocean going cruising
yacht by Van da Stadt. She had a full repaint during the winter
of ’08 in our facilities at Gulf Harbour. Being of steel construction and with some dubious hose connections in the deck coamings there was extensive corrosion that resulted in the entire back half of the coamings & coaming floor being replaced. |

Toyshop is a Lotus 10.6
designed by Alan Wright in a double diagonal construction. Toyshop is owned by a senior ISAF Principle
Race Officer and has been used as a committee boat for many
ISAF World Championship held in Auckland. Just about all the
dings and repairs have a story behind them – be it from an Etchell, Laser Radial,
RSX or a Tornado. Needless to say the finish was ‘tired’. |

Yakuun is one of the larger private
motor vessels in the world at 65m in length. TOG painted Yakuun at the slipway of Titan Marine during the winter of 2007. This was TOG biggest scaffolding and tenting job to date and involved custom made heaters to keep the environment at a suitable temperature to paint. Some 700m of shrink wrap was used to enclose the 5 levels of scaffolding and roof. This structure survived the July hurricane needing only minor repairs and no delay to the schedule. |
