Sand Bank Bellied-Up Eight.

This week we are repairing a North Shore Rowing Club KIRS 17.5 eight. Bellied up into a sand bank in Auckland harbour, it has compressions and rock gouges over 13 meters of the boat. Boat laminator/constructor Lez, is cutting out the compressed and punctured areas ready for carbon Honeycomb repair. The boat will be looking as good as new in no time!

On a weekly basis KIRS are doing similar repairs, insurance or maintenance, resprays or touch-ups.

Get in touch with us for any repairs or maintenance you want done on any KIRS boats.
