This one takes the cake . Dunno if we will see this calibre of small boat designed and built in nz again
-
f*ck that’s awesome ! Never seen that one or any of ragtime . I reckon that’s the most iconic NZ boat , still hauls ass after nearly 60 years
-
Backstay got a major crank just before so maybe too much so ?
-
One of my all time favourites bit of a slow burner but the tension ratchets up towards the end . The carnage further back in the fleet is worth keeping an eye on , flares going off and insane wipeouts etc .
-
Highlight for me was spotting a kiwi boat in the spectator fleet .
-
Historical artefact ?
-
Anyone know what’s happening with the E7s when the new ones arrive ? Asking for a friend . It would be unfortunate if they end up in Aussie where they already have a heap of them .
-
the market has spoken , Div B boats are hitting the market with frightening regularity
-
Ironically the developers are quite the sailors and have done a bit of racing but not as we know it .

Priced off the poles - what areas to look for a small mooring?
Ex Machina replied to motorb's topic in MarineTalk
I was going to say the same about whangarei and only half the distance to bay week and a much shorter sail home from the coastal . Added bonus of numerous hardstands within 1 km of each other . 4 pole mooring is approx $1400 PA for an SR sized boat . -
The mixed water of Wairau cove is an antifoul in itself
-
They went down the rangi side of the fleet with the pink piedy
-
Have to mention the Ross 650 Sunset Sam totally posting the jandal in this video . Bit of a rough start but ripped through the fleet and pulled past suspect device . Plenty of other action too in the first start .
-
Is it still actually “warpaint “ or has wet n forget bought the branding and whacked it on something they get cheap ?

Check the App Store there’s quite a few . Read the reviews they are a good indicator , mostly . -

Mount a GoPro 360 every night so you can prove someone collided with you . On top of that mount an infrared sensor that’s connected to a horn …just before a boat collides with you the horn should be programmed to give 5 blasts . I will have a website up and running in a few days to sell above devices , watch this space ! -

Ponder this angle . Imagine you join a “boating “ club not a “yacht” club but you have a cruising yacht . Imagine said club was affiliated with say Offshore power boating NZ . It would be a bit of a piss off if $30 bucks of your sub went towards a powerboating outfit to do whatever with it , you roll with it anyway because it’s the only boating club in your area with decent facilities . that’s what our launch owners and cruising boat owners , social , crew members plus juniors face with YNZ whether they like it or not . -

Same here can’t access the rules , only getting overviews . -
Maritime NZ proposed new anchor watch rule enforcement
Ex Machina replied to eruptn's topic in MarineTalk
That’s kinda where our club sits . Only 3-4 boats ever enter YNZ sanctioned events yet we pay nearly 10k PA to them . I would happily join another club to retain eligibility to enter coastal etc and save our club major coin . -

Vaguely remember a comm fishing boat that dragged anchor at maybe hen and chicks ? Maybe loss of life ? Teenager in the wheelhouse asleep who was assigned the anchor watch but wasn’t qualified ? -
What tool did you use for scraping ? I have a moonscape of antifoul to sort out at some stage
-
It’s reassuring to see it has a masthead light
-
That’s on display ? Think it’s on loan to the developers to give a nautical theme to the place . I’m pretty sure it’s the one that needed lee cloths and buckets to keep the water out of the cockpit ….and then the rig folded

Surely not Rudolph shack !?
