What Types of Marine Equipment and Hardware Can I Find at Barton Marine NZ?

Barton Marine NZ is a Wellington chandlery that stocks marine equipment and gear for sailing, fishing, boating, maintenance and safety. You can use it as a single stop for anchoring and mooring gear, deck hardware, pulley blocks, electronics, engine parts, plumbing and pumps, safety equipment, apparel, galley and cabin items, and paint and maintenance supplies. It suits boat owners outfitting a new vessel, replacing worn parts, or restocking safety and maintenance essentials; it is not a specialist dealer limited to one system or brand.

Anchoring, Mooring and Deck Hardware

The anchoring and mooring range covers anchor winches, anchor rope, mooring rope, anchors, sea anchors and drogues, and fenders. Deck hardware includes sheet winches, cleats and clutches, deck organisers, hatches, handles and tiller extensions.

For sail handling, the site lists track systems in several sizes (19mm C track, 25mm T track, 32mm T track, 19mm and 32mm I beam track, and 14mm and 19mm ball bearing track), plus mast attachments such as carabiners, exit blocks, rigging stays, shackles, sheaves and wind indicators.

Pulleys and Blocks

Pulleys are grouped by size, from 15–19mm up to 70mm+, alongside industrial pulley blocks. Brand ranges include Harken (16mm ball bearing, 29mm Carbo, 40mm Carbo, 60mm Element) and Ronstan (15mm and 20mm ball bearing, 25mm and 30mm all-purpose, 25mm and 30mm ball bearing, 40mm all-purpose and Orbit, 50mm all-purpose, 55mm Orbit, 60mm and 75mm ball bearing). Rope and accessories cover Spectra, racing braid, Dyneema, bungy, splicing fids and webbing.

Electronics, Engine and Electrical

Electronics include AIS, autopilots, EPIRB and PLB units, fuel gauges, gas detection, GPS and fishfinders, NMEA 2000 network switches and VHF radios. The electrical section adds chartplotters, instruments, nav lights and furlers, with B&G Electronics listed as a brand.

Engine accessories cover control cables, fuel fittings, impellers and engine controls. If you are chasing a specific part, check the engine accessories category before assuming it is a special order.

Plumbing, Pumps and Sanitation

Plumbing stock includes bilge pumps, plumbing fittings, galley pumps, pressure pumps, sanitation equipment and washdown pumps. This is the section to check for a failed bilge pump or a leaking pressure pump before a trip.

Safety Gear

Safety covers buoyancy aids, binoculars, compasses, EPIRB and PLB units, first aid, flares, inflatable life jackets, liferafts, man overboard equipment, and tethers and harnesses. Because safety items often carry expiry dates or service requirements, confirm the specific product and condition with the store before relying on it for a passage.

Apparel, Galley and Cabin

Apparel includes bags, dive gear, footwear, gloves, headwear, life jackets and wet weather gear. Galley and cabin items include galley pumps, gas detection, heaters, ice boxes, ovens and stoves, and water heaters.

Paint and Maintenance

The paint and maintenance range covers cleaners, fillers and glues, paint, and resin and cloth. These are the consumables for seasonal prep, minor repairs and hull or deck touch-ups.

Sailing Chandlery and Other Categories

The sailing section lists chandlery, books, dive gear, flags, oars, Railblaza mounts and tools. The site also flags "Spring Specials," so it is worth checking current promotions before buying.

How to Decide If It Fits Your Needs

The catalogue is broad rather than deep in every line, so for a precise part number or a brand not listed, contact the store directly. Barton Marine NZ describes itself as 100% Kiwi family owned, and the site includes shipping and returns information you can review before ordering.
