DeckHardware is proud to announce that after many years of friendship with the team at Sea-Sure, we will now officially distribute their range of marine products in the region.

Sea-Sure has built a strong reputation for innovation and quality in the sailing and marine industry, offering products that meet our standards of performance and reliability. This partnership marks an exciting step forward for DeckHardware as we continue to expand on the brands we distribute and deliver world-class solutions to sailors and marine enthusiasts across the region. As well as complementing our growing range of product suitable for Industrial applications.

“We’ve known the Sea-Sure team for many years and have always caught up when both at METSTRADE” said Mel Yeomans - DeckHardware. “Bringing their range to our customers is a natural progression and we’re excited to strengthen this relationship.”

“We are really looking forward to working with Mel and the team at DeckHardware” Said Daniel Henderson, Managing Director @ Sea Sure Ltd. “ We are excited to get our world leading dinghy transom products in front of the sailors in their region, as well as getting our growing industrial product range into businesses across Australia”.

The Sea-Sure range will be available through DeckHardware’s distribution network, ensuring easy access for retailers and end-users alike. This collaboration reinforces DeckHardware’s mission to provide premium products that enhance the sailing experience.

We will be closing early on Christmas Eve at 2 pm. From 29th to 30th December, we will be open from 11 am to 2 pm. 

We will be closed from December 31st until January 4th, then resume our regular hours.  

We appreciate your understanding as we use the Summer Break to take a little time away from the Warehouse. Thank you!  We will be monitoring Emails and Live Chat Messages outside these hours for emergencies. 

A number of our Suppliers will be closed over the holiday period so please be aware it will take longer for us to get in non stock items.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our wonderful Stockists and customers using the brands we distribute. We love following all the action and this time of year there is plenty!

2025 has been one of our most interesting years since we purchased the company in 2006. We are still working behind the scenes on lots of updates to our website and product range.

Especially after Mel's trip to METS where she met up with the brands we represent as well as others in the industry.

As we approach 2026 and 20 years of owning DeckHardware next December we will enjoy a little time this holiday period away from the warehouse.  As small business owners, we don't get that chance often. - The Yeomans Family 

When it comes to Marine Suppliers we all head to METSTRADE in November held in Amsterdam for the biggest trade show globally.

The first round of the NSW Flying 11 States has been run at Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club. 

When it comes to boat windows and windows in a coastal environment with a nautical style, the types of windows used play a crucial role in ensuring safety, functionality, and aesthetics.

Snatch Blocks work by having an opening mechanism for the side cheek that allows easy insertion of a rope or cable.

The range and variety of vangs varies between brands in this Blog we go through some of the main differences.

Mel had the opportunity to do a talk at the Australian sendoff for the Down Under Rally put together by Island Cruising NZ. As participants prepared to head off over the coming days Mel talked about Maintenance that could be done during their travels to ensure things go smoothly.

It was great to chat with the sailors before they headed off on what will be an incredible adventure. With a number of Pacific Nations on the Agenda for their vogages. As weather was looking fantastic for setting off, many were in the last stages of preparations.

We wish everyone a safe voyage and hope you all have a fantastic time!

As this was being held at the Boat Works in Queensland Mel headed up early to spend some time catching up with some of our Trade Customers in the region.  Not as many as hoped, thanks to rain slowing some of the driving in between. 

What is a Rally?

A rally is all about having cruising adventures with friends heading in the same general direction.

Island Cruising & Down Under Rally takes this a step further. Our rallies include intensive pre-departure training to help ensure you feel confident and prepared on departure day. You can tap into some excellent discounts from our marine business partners. We support you on the passage with weather and tracking you on passage, help you find crew, assist with all the documentation and entry/exit formalities, provide detailed resources and destination information to save you lots of time doing all the research, provide assistance if you have any issues en-route, and we have fun events along the way and connect you with others heading in the same direction. 

You can choose whether to cruise with the group or do your own thing and sail independently. 

We welcome yachts and power boats on the rally.
