Dry Docking a Phinisi in Sulawesi: Slipway, Timeline and Cost Factors

Dry-docking a phinisi in Sulawesi means a slipway haul-out: the hull is eased up the ways on a cradle, blocked level, and worked on out of the water. This is how large wooden liveaboards are docked in the Bulukumba region, and here is what governs the timeline and the cost.

The slipway and cradle

Capacity is quoted by length overall and displacement. A heavy wooden liveaboard sits differently on the blocks than a light day boat, so the cradle and shoring are set to the specific hull. Send the boat’s LOA, beam, draft and rough tonnage to confirm the haul.

Timeline

A haul-out and antifoul is a matter of days. A repair stay depends on scope and is set once the boat is up and open. Planning the window around the charter calendar keeps lost revenue down.

Cost factors

Four things drive the number: the haul and re-launch itself, dry-storage days on the blocks, the specific repair scope, and antifouling materials. We quote the haul and any works separately, in US dollars, so you see what you are paying for.

Book at haul-out and drydock; larger work flows into refit and restoration.
