Tips for a Tunisian haul-out (Sailing Nikau special episode)

If you are in the Med and looking for a cheaper option to haul your boat and get works done here is a complete summary of our experience at the Monastir boat yard including costs and process. The guy we used was Moncef Mrad - contact via email on moncef.polyster@gmail.com or +216 22 653 457 Other people we know used a guy called Sabier (+216 52 809 400) who runs another part of the same yard and speaks good english, they were very happy with their new anti-foul and complete engine rebuild! We are the Robbins family sailing on our boat named Nikau. We are a family of 5. Our 3 kids are doing NZ correspondence school on board. They are growing to love it! What's not to love about 3 hours of school a day and then a different playground for the afternoon every day! We've traveled from New Zealand to Sardinia in Italy to pick up our boat and we plan over a few seasons to sail her back to New Zealand. We hope you enjoy following us on our adventures! We would love to hear from you. Especially if you are interested in doing something crazy like we are! Maybe we can help answer some questions you have? Thanks and enjoy.

Hi! We got lots of work done this year in Turkey its a very beautiful country and cheaper than many med spots but I doubt cheaper than Tunisia. It's great for getting thinks made and more specialized work. We got a window made for a fantastic price. Bait lights, deck pump, and an overhaul on all our toilets but still cost at a guess 30-40% more.

Thanks Andrew, yes we got the anti-foul in Turkey as we knew it would be cheaper than anywhere else (good discount for cash there and exchange rate with the lira is awesome right now) also we weren't sure how good the quality of anti-foul in Tunisia would be, turned out their price was same as Turkey and they also had International Micron Extra and Primercon which was what we used so probably would have been ok to get the product there just we didn't know that beforehand! We didn't source any other marine supplies in Tunisia, there wasn't much at any of the shops - it was even hard to find marine silicon! What they are great for is labour, you can get quality cheap stainless steel work and another cruiser we know got his engine completely rebuilt and they made the parts he needed replacing for a fraction of the price anywhere else! Kids didn't much like the dirtyness or heat of Tunisia and not nice swimming at the beaches because of the pollution, but they appreciated it as a cultural experience!
