Takapuna grounding...

Herald says it dragged its anchor (though it's NZH, so who knows). Seems an odd place to be anchored. Anyone know more?

There was a similar boat anchored in very close to castor bay a few days ago. Inside the swim platform. Must have been so nearly beached.

The photo would suggest the user is more towards the less knowledgeable end of the spectrum.

Not so sure about that.

Far less fouling easy access and far more cost affordable berthing options given the ever rising tide of cost for marinas.

Yes with travel lift rates and the floating dock prices rising I dare say many more of us will resort to careening, as people used to at Okahu bay and issy bay.

Been keen on giving these beach legs a go for a while.

Now where can you find a quiet spot to give your bottom a quick rub without some dobber posting you on social media.

that pic is a bit odd. The lagoon legs I've seen in use before sit under the rub rail, so the boat can rest on them. What holds the top of those ones??

We use to do R2 on Bucklands Beach with 2 spinnaker poles, 1 each side with a sheet thru a toe rail turning block and back to a winch, clean the bottom go to the pub and come back at full tide.

Those pictured have a fastening on the topside.

These are shaped to hull and tuck under toe rail.

Preferred legs no fastenings required but lousy for cleaning bum.

Hey Priscilla she has got a look (the yacht) is she a Bill Garden design? 

[Priscilla II 392]

Not sure about that Waikore you could be right though.

That strake that settles through the waterline and deeper makes me think she was a working boat.

Will post a pic on WBf and see what drops out.

Yep, just make sure you do it in accordance with these easy to understand rules from the unitary plan............

 

 

 

 

I speak "planner" almost fluently and I'm bamboozled by that rule set!

[Adrianp 119]

Actually, it looks like the Unitary Plan contains rules that allow ("P" for Permitted) for a "Grid" or "Careening" away from sensitive coastal areas (SEA M1, ONC, etc)

 

 

The proviso is that you collect the runoff as far as practical with drop sheets, etc:

 

 

And that you don't do it don't do it near any of the islands (Pr mean prohibited activity)

Crikey Adrian thanks for the sore brain reading that.

So it is not allowed to clean ones hull of natural reoccurring bio fouling without paying some coining it outfit within 500m of shores.

Look I do not begrudge those that make a living cleaning others bums but last time I was on the Dock what was Sharpies $120 transmogrified to $190.

Ok his father paid $2m for the rig but slow down boy you don’t have to repay Poppa Bear all in one year.

Man that’s a pretty boat!

Big for 22ft quite impressive.

Computers have their place.

Come by the Squadron and see all the models stacked in the upper window of the Richmond.

Old school here.
