We received a lot of great feedback from our service customers during and after the marathon haul-out session for Hurricane Earl (we hauled 120 vessels in just over three days). Here are few of the messages we received – thank you every one!
This was my first experience with haul out service. I was early, as I usually am anywhere I go, and figured that I would wait. Wait was not going to happen! I arrived, tied up and left My Paramour to your crew. I was very impressed with every part of the operation.
I got to meet Jeff and Mr. Lawrence. You all did great and if this service is representative of your other services, I’ll certainly consider using Jarrett Bay in the future.
Thanks and let me know when I can come get her. Continue reading “Smoothest Hurricane Haul Out Operation Yet” »

Good Morning Everyone,
We were extremely lucky last night. We had a near miss and only saw winds of approximately 50 kts. It could have been much worse if the Hurricane had not started turning east yesterday evening.
We had a crew on standby to come in but the winds never got bad enough so we let them get some much needed rest. We hauled 120 vessels from 32-112’ from 1pm on Monday until 12:30 yesterday and moored two in the basin.
We are hard at work this morning launching the Army Corp of Engineer vessel and several other commercial charter craft. We are also assessing damage to the vessels on the yard but none is expected. You will be notified if we see any evident damage to your vessel. Continue reading “Hurricane Earl – Morning After Report” »

8:12am, September 2, 2010 – Jarrett Bay Boatworks Service Yard – Beaufort, NC:
As of Wednesday evening we had hauled 97 boats in a little over two days. We are on target to run out of stands & complete haul outs this afternoon at 1-2pm
Hurricane Earl is starting its turn to the North/North West this morning. The high pressure ridge over the eastern US is now steering the Hurricane. Let us hope it will take the worst out to sea. We are under a Hurricane Watch presently. We still have the possibility of having some really bad weather. Earl is a CAT 4 Hurricane with 145 MPH winds.
Does anyone remember what Hugo did to SC and even inland as far as Charlotte, NC?
We will have a crew here tonight and will be checking all the stands for every boat in the yard as regularly as the wind allows. The worst problem we normally have in a Hurricane is the wind and rain in unison causes stands to become loosened. That is why we try to check them regularly. Antennas, curtains and any other item that is prone to wind damage should be removed or secured firmly. Outriggers on Sport Fish boats are easily damaged in high winds.
We will try to have staff back into the office Friday afternoon and on the yard to assess damages. We will call you if any major damage occurs. “Major” being anything other than cosmetic issues. We prefer that you come inspect your vessels as soon as safe to do so and roads are passable. Continue reading “Hurricane Earl Update 9/2″ »

8:22pm August 29, 2010 – Beaufort, NC:
The latest NOAA projection is predicting the west side of the possible track to skirt Cape Lookout. This is still a Cat 1 hurricane. There is a 5-10% probability of us receiving Hurricane Force winds. It does appear to have sped up. It is now to arrive somewhere off our coast Thursday afternoon.
This storm is still very unpredictable so we will advise caution. Better safe than sorry. We will be able to haul vessels Monday afternoon if any of you want to get a jump on hauling. Please contact Kendra at 252-728-2690 x232. Kendra will begin receiving calls for appointments at 9am Monday 30 August. 50 and 75 ton lifts will start at 1pm and be scheduled for every 30 minutes. The 200 ton lift is already busy Monday, but call anyway and we will do our best to start some 200 ton lifts if possible. If not, we will start the 200 ton lift at 0730 am Tuesday morning.
