Just to pass on my thanks to Oli and the HMLS team for the recent initial antifouling of my new boat.
The work and attention to detail were first class, as well as being on-time and on-budget.
Additionally, all of the team were very friendly and advice/assistance was provided without hesitation.
I will recommend HMLS to any contacts.

Shane/Oli and Staff,
Thanks for the unreal service, workmanship and work ethic shown by all the staff that worked on White Saffire.
I have been a customer of the hard stand facilities for the last 30 years, and this was definitely the best experience ever.
It would be much appreciated if you could pass this on at your next toolbox meeting.
Kind regards

Hi Brad,
Recently I had Perle lifted for a clean and antifoul by those in the HMLS yard.
I want to say that I am more than happy with the service and the outcome of what the team was able to achieve for Perle.
Right from the start Oli was most obliging with the pre-lift discussion about the product I wanted and the process. Shane monitored the whole process and was very helpful in giving advice and explaining what was needed to produce the best result. Likewise, for Brendan in painting the hull, even re-doing a section that was problematic. Heyden and Sean did a good job of sanding back problem areas.
Throughout, the team’s approach was helpful, friendly and positive, making me feel comfortable with the process and outcome.

We have just completed an 8 day refit on our 10m SeaRay at HYC lifters yard. We found the staff very helpful and polite.
We had a hull blast, sand and antifoul also propspeed applied to underwater metal gear. Their work standard was excellent and we are very happy with the work done. We found the staff very flexible and helpful with working in with us and other trades. We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the yard and the very professional approach of the staff.
Well done
Kind Regards

Lifters Maintenance of Yacht Mulberry
It is very pleasing to report the excellent work carried out by the HYC team at the lifters.
Shane with the assistance of Jason lifted Mulberry, pressure washed the hull and placed it on the hardstand with due care. Due to the very low tide and Mulberrys deep keel it took careful work to place the slings avoiding the torpedo bulb and the sail drive.
With input from Shane, Brendan and Gerry the scope of work was amicably agreed. Brendan carried out the preparation work and applied the antifoul. The workmanship looks very good.
Jason and Shane returned Mulberry to the water again with due care.
The really good new is that Mulberry was lifted on schedule at 10.00 am on Monday 9th and returned to the water at 3.00 pm on Wednesday 11th. A very efficient three days allowing us to take part in the Thursday sail.
Thanks to the team for the good work.
Good Sailing

Hi Brad
Just had my boat lifted back into the water today.
I have to say the service provided by Shane, Ollie, Tracy, and Brendan has been superb. I couldn’t get crew help for the lift out last week and Shane and Ollie were brilliant is helping me get the boat into the lifter. Brendan did a terrific job on the anti foul and then today Shane and Ollie and another yardie helped me and my crew member get the boat back into the water.
One happy customer.
Kind regards

Hi Shane,
Thanks for a great job done today on White Saffire. I can not remember the young guy's name that did the pressure clean, he is an asset to the yard.
Everything was carried out with minimum fuss and very provisional.
Kind regards

Hi Brad,
We just had Goddess antifouled and I must say the experience was a delight. Best job done for many a year.
We informed Oli and Brendon as well.

Good Morning Brad,
Just a quick email to complement the standard of work during the sanding and antifouling of " Chardonray" in July.
Ollie and his men Brenden and Sean not only did a very professional job but the standard of cleanliness of the boat when returned to the water was excellent, the best I have seen in my 38 years of membership and a credit to HYC Lifters.
Good job by all.
Regards, Brian Kennewell.
