Taking the piss

I have been struggling to get a lift out but have the guys at Rodrigez Yachts who are going to quote? Anyone else used them?
My alternative is to use the port in Menton but cant get a date to do it.
 
No, but I have had my boat lifted at St Laurent du Var. What do you need to have done and where would you prefer to be lifted out at? Is it urgent??
 
I have a diver under mine now for a underwater jet wash , Hull sterngear the lot @€300 .
The nozzle is about 3 Cm dia ....bit like a sand blaster gun .

So for me that’s a 1/3 rd of a yard + there ( same in the CdA as J Rudge ) extortionate jet wash off .

I did the anodes and bit of stern gear scrubbing my self 2 weeks ago so we could use it .I have a Beucat mini diver bottle + weight belt .
Bought it for stern gear de fouling but for €5 fill ups it gives me 20 mins + @2m or what ever .
I just tie string to the spanner’s / tools and keep them in a net while working .

Remember it’s not been lifted this season ....C19 issues etc .
This diver will do the anodes at cost ( he supplies them ) for another €100 .

So it might be worth finding out if there is a dive cleaning / anode guy nearby ?
For a 22 M ? .... boat you have a ballpark for my 15 M.
 
A second vote for diving rather than overpriced jetwashing. I haven't had a jet wash for years. Better and cheaper.

You know the jetwashing is profitable as you have to be quick to get the guys to stand down. They are itching to blast away at the hull as soon as she is lifted.
 
I’m sure the directors of these services places wear masks......and ride horses, my ice maker packed in, engineer had a look at it....won’t be much just needs a module, cost of module 179 Euro, total invoice inc fitting 731 Euro !

The oil pressure sensor on one of my gearboxes is playing up, cost of sendor 438 Euro, total quote inc fitting 1,060.00 Euro, I’ve just bought the sendor, from the main agents of twin disc in the U.K. £90.00, screw the old one out, screw new unit in.....5 minutes job...............

I had my engines serviced yesterday by a UK company who spend a few weeks in SoF servicing boats - I received a recco from another forumite and was pleased with their service. I had bought all the filters, but not the coolant or oil. The bill will be approx £2k for engines, gearboxes and genny.

I had the same thing organised with a U.K. mechanic but he stopped answering calls........I priced all the service items from the U.K. @ £1500.00 but I just can’t afford the time to do it myself, too busy at work, we are on the boat next week with all the family and I wanted everything sorted so we could just set off for a few days.....hopefully without any worries.

Yep, totally makes sense, we've all had to bite that bullet more often than we've wanted to
