PRODUCTS & SERVICES Galicia yard now servicing bigger boats Nauta Sanxenxo, the municipal company that manages the marina of Sanxenxo and its on-site boatyard in Galicia, northwest Spain, has replaced its 45-ton boat hoist with a 70 ton machine manufactured by GH Cranes & Components. The decision to invest in a larger machine enables the yard to service much bigger boats. In use since October 2017, the hoist has been in steady demand moving both sail and motor boats. It is a highly manoeuvrable machine with various steering options, including 45° crab movement and 360° turning. In order to guard against any collision of a sailboat’s mainstay with the upper girder of the hoist, extra height has been incorporated. Remote control operation, with a clear display of turning modes and front and rear weights, is another asset. Purchasing the hoist had become a priority for Nauta Sanxenxo as it was unable to fully meet customer demands. Boatswain, Jesús Quintáns, explains: “During our high season, March to the end of June, we normally do ten lifts a week and thanks to the GH hoist we are now able to not only offer a better service but a safer one. This is one of the biggest investments we’ve made in the last 15 years but it has opened up a market that we were previously unable to cover.” The boatyard at Nauta Sanxenxo offers full-service boat repair. On-site companies specialise in glass fibre, gelcoat, mechanical and upholstery work, and two marina shops are stocked with a wide range of boat-related goods. The commercial aspect of the site covers an area of 3,000m² (32,292ft²) and has parking space for 380 vehicles. Berth holders benefit from wifi, waste collection services, 24-hour surveillance and gated pontoon entrances to access 450 berths for boats of 8-45m (26-148ft). Standards are high. “So as to offer the highest quality service to our customers, our future plans include getting the Gold Anchor award. We already have the Blue Flag, the Q mark for Spanish tourist quality and the Galicia Calidade,” Quintáns reveals.
