  1. You are way out. I am a liveaboard in Mahurangi and a few years ago started a list of the live aboard that I came across. At that time there was 7 myself included in the Mahurangi. Hard to work out in Kawau but there are people living and moving through there. And they come though the Mahurangi as well. In the last year or so the numbers has ballooned and my last count was 46 in the waters that I travel most. Around the Weiti and other placers the waters are infested with us. mostly gray hairs like my own self.
  2. This boat drove past me on my mooring last week at Jamieson bay in the Maharangi. Had a young bloke about late 20's driving. from the flying deck. don't know where it went after that but have passed on the message to a couple off mates that are in the area.

    I have a 60L cfx and run it continuously for the last 4 years. At -6. whether I'm on the boat or not. Best thing since forever would not bother with engine driven stuff they have had there day in my opinion.
  5. They have always been rubbish, we used to think they where the bee's knee back in the 60s and they where. So long as you toke a bunch of spear plugs,ten gallons of fuel for the mile shear pins, and last but not least another spear engine and oars. If they where such hot stuff none of the other manufacturers would have got a look in. They where made in mother Britten, Engines for butter and sheep.

    Yep. Just type Bowman heat exchanges into uncle.
  7. the unobtanium done it for me. got my vote.
  8. We had some good winds up in the Mahurangi, last 2 days nothing like that though. friend went for a quick look around the harbour this morning and reported that all looked good to him.
  9. I watched a chap take a large piece of gelcoat off the side of his boat in sulphur point. With an electric plane. did not seem to take that long.
  10. From the doc above. PERMANENT ENTRY If you wish to permanently import your yacht or small craft it will be subject to duty and/ or GST. You must complete the Advance Notice of Arrival (Small Craft) (Form NZCS 340) and email it to yachts@customs.govt.nz or fax it to +64 3 358 0069 at least 48 hours prior to the expected arrival time in New Zealand territorial waters (12 nautical miles from the coastline). If your yacht or small craft arrives in New Zealand permanently and there is duty and/or GST outstanding the vessel will be held within the port of entry until this is paid in full a

  13. Is that why we are seeing blue lights out there are the bulbs going fissss. with the colour.?
  14. Most outboards from about 10hp upwards don't have shear pins they have a rubber type bush gizmo, that absorbs the shock and gets you home been like that for over 35 years. This do's have the added benefit of shifting the damage to more expensive parts of the outboard leg. Found that out the hard way.
  15. That's my thought on it as well, I think the boat hit the yacht and was airborne and cleared the decks and laded on the other side. It will have damage for sure. on the front.
  16. "Yes, he's my boyfriend," said Coplestone, who also strongly denied allegations of foul play, which was supported by the police and coronial findings. "You don't get many blokes out in Erie Bay so when you do you make the most of them." Stand out comment from the above report.

  18. It's advisable to use a rope from the vessel being towed not your's, If for some reason you must let go it's the towed vessel's rope that is released because they might not release your's.

    Another Cyclone

    Posted picture but forgot the text. The above is from Met service, they have been adjusting the track all afternoon. I'm in Mahurangi and we have been getting very strong SE wind but it's starting to swing to the SW as predicted. Plenty of rain this arvo. Full water tanks so all good put down brew, done dishes wash down inside and still full tanks so disconnected water catcher. You guys be careful out there the roads will be slippery.
