Default Harbor Availability
Greetings all! My wife and I are submitting our EOI in the next few days. We have 145 points and are hoping that they agree to count them all!

Anyway, I am wondering about harbor space. Here in Chicago, there is a waiting list for harbor space of about 2 years for a mooring bouy and about 5 years for a slip if you have a boat less than 30 feet in length. For greater than 30 feet, it is about double that.

We think we will end up in Auckland or Wellington and are wondering if it will take that long in NZ. We are keen to buy a sailboat straight away (is that the right lingo?) - sailing has a lot to do with our choice of New Zealand.

Does anyone know if there is adequate harbor space so we wouldn't have to wait a long time?
