From the Resene News – issue 4/2005 Mayday mayday - Great Barrier Island Coastguard When the Great Barrier Island Coastguard Stabicraft Rescue boat hit a whale off Great Barrier Island major repairs were required urgently. The boat was repaired in Auckland, with one side cut out and replaced, then repainted. Brad Darwen of the RAPC Auckland team completed the work using RAPC cleaners, pre-treatments and etch primers finished with topcoating in 805 Acrythane. A year post repairs and following close monitoring by Great Barrier Rescue to see how the locally made two pack product would withstand the harsh environment of permanent mooring and daily use of a rescue boat, a second call came in for RAPC systems to refurbish two rescue boats from top to bottom. Resplendent in their new finish and whales permitting, ship to shore calls will be on hold for some years while the RAPC system keeps things shipshape. |
