The tender

November 10, 2018 | By Jillienne de Vos

I saw an advertisement somewhere about a tender that was made in New Zealand. I saw the post and I wanted a tender just like that one.

OCTenders are a New Zealand company located in the beautiful Bay of Islands. Each tender is made by hand to order. octenders.co.nz  

Karin was wonderful to deal with, I knew nothing about tenders and she was very patient with me.

They cannot compete on price with a RIB but I wanted a tender that I didn’t have to inflate, that was stable to get in and out of and was light. The OC330 comes in at 48kgs.

We ordered the OC330 which is 3.3 metres long and then added some extras.

OC330 – Custom built tender, extra non skid on cockpit floor and decks, rub streak, oarlocks, oars, anchor bag, mesh tank bulkhead, 4 side storage bags, two seat blocks, davit lifting eye.

Beach Master Wheels, fixing bolts and installation. Custom built crate for freight – solid 12mm treated plywood

OC330 Alloy Delta Panel OC330

Custom Rubrail Cover colour BASIL

Vinyl Name Cutting Tender to S.V. Eucalyptus

Telescopic Ladder (Smart Marine Seaforce SS Above Platform 3 Step Telescopic Ladder) and installation
