Superyacht yard opens on Gold Coast


Innovative synthetic marine decking


The latest synthetic marine decking products from Permateek International Ltd include the company’s innovative ‘Multi-Colour’ decking and a new 150 mm ‘Wide Plank’ range suitable for larger vessels, as well as a new colour called Dapple Grey. Permateek’s ‘Multi-Colour’

he Boat Works’ new superyacht yard at Coomera, Australia, is now open for business


for vessels from 5-50 m after a phenomenally fast build time of nine months. The state-of-the-art facility has already welcomed some of the region’s premium vessels over 30 m for refit, repair and maintenance, whose owners were attracted by the top class amenities and the Gold Coast’s largest boat hoist. Supplied by Marine Travelift, this has a capacity of 300 tonnes. The Boat Works now occupies 55 acres in total within a sympathetically-designed and landscaped area in the heart of the Gold Coast Marine Precinct. On the water, the purpose-built


marina constructed by local firm Superior Jetties features berthing for 15 superyachts to 50 m, with alongside berthing for vessels up to 70 m. The next phase of this landmark


development will begin in the near future with Stage 2, comprising a dedicated sand-blasting shed and refit workshops, together with a lifestyle complex for retail outlets, professional offices, a function centre, restaurants and bars, landscaped as a tranquil reserve for visiting boat-owners, contractors and those seeking an entertainment venue with sensational vistas of superyachts.

weathered teak. Designed and manufactured in the


UK, Permateek is highly resistant to sun, rain and seawater. The product’s solid PVC extrusions are non-porous and provide protection against staining, even from substances such as oil and red wine. During fabrication, the planks


are joined using thermal welding – rather than glue – to ensure a contiguous deck that is resilient to the knocks and spills of everyday use and will not lose its superior non-slip properties when wet. Permateek International Ltd support@permateek.com www.permateek.com


Permateek ‘Multi-Colour’ applied to the foredeck of a sailing vessel. Polyurethane topcoat


A two-component, polyurethane topcoat recommended especially for use above the waterline on a wide variety of substrates, including laminates, GRP, wood, steel and aluminium, is available from Troton of Poland. Sea-Line high gloss yacht


paint exhibits good resistance to ultra-violet light and weathering and has excellent


mechanical strength. Easy to mix and apply by


rush, roller or spray gun, the viscosity of the paint and the


amount of pigment provides high performance and opacity, and it does not drip from vertical surfaces. Special thinners can be supplied to match the method of application employed. Sea-Line paint is produced in a


range of eight colours, including black and white. Troton Spolka zo.o info@sea-line.eu www.sea-line.eu
