The workshops at Dixon Stainless is in Warkworth are action-packed in the build up to the summer holidays: with SailGP hitting Auckland in January, two projects out the door include 14 sets of aluminium stillages that will mobilise the F50s, and also the resizing of an AC75 - removing a middle section to create a new F50, taking the fleet to fourteen.

Plus, a range of gangways have been made for Kerikeri Cruising Club Doves Bay, Drummond Wharf in Akaroa, and Waiheke Marina, along with marina safety ladders and dock carts for marinas in Australia. Nice job, team!
