Ah bugger , no preachers frame up the front on DP
-
Never trust a skipper with a pornstache either
-
It’s a trophy not a Boston whaler and not a launch either . Heavy solid boats and it shows when you look at the difference in damage to either vessel .

Yep going to be “retirement “ complex with attached marina for apartment holders

On the subject of antifoul . I spent a good deal time last week down a rabbit hole of active ingredients , legal and illegal . There are several off the shelf pharmaceuticals you could conceivably add to your paint to deter/kill inverterbrates . Most , if not all the ones worth considering bio-accumulate so probably won’t be for sale in antifoul . The most promising one is the main ingredient of “Selektope” . Hempel and chugoku are two Antifoul brands that have Selektope paints available but not in NZ . The Hempel distributor here has not replied to my email asking when and if Selektope antifo

Hope Rudolph didn’t buy that one ?

the Westhaven one is still the best i reckon . 100ft yacht on its ear and the footage of the cat flying through the air where moments ago a ferry had just gone past .

RNZYS is facing a trading loss of up to $1.6 million

Yeah but getting to hear DP on guitar afterwards is priceless ! -
Cool looking boat …what is it again ? Have a similar looking boat at our club , a Beale 780
-
Seems like stuff is reporting the same incident as two boaties .wasn’t It was all the same incident ?
-
Just Bloody amazing . Props to the crew of Te Mana and northland trust helicopter ….and that guy on 888
-
Thanks for pointing that out , learn something everyday ! . The whole situation is quite distressing and the way it unfolded could not be predicted .
-
Te Mana has launched a boat by the looks of it on AIS I would be able to see it from here if there wasnt so many sheds and sh*t flying through the air
-
We are only getting 50 knot gusts here now two hours north , so if what we had earlier happens in Auckland it will be quite an event
-
Coromandel will absorb it for those areas but Te Aroha will get absolutely nailed once it gets a bit of southing
-
You’ve put a bit of weight on there 😂
-
Spencer point ?
-
That’s an interesting option . The boat has a heat exchanger type tank that’s only configured for shore power so could be plumbed in to a diesel heater I think .
-
I’ve been Looking at ducted exhaust LPG water heaters like the suburban and camec style etc . Anyone here got one of these ? And do you have the tankless or tank version ? The fitting options seem more flexible than a classic style califont and probably easier to meet certification criteria too.
-
Isn’t there two ? Beforehand and after ? The multihull club is reviewing the PHRF thing so hopefully they drop that requirement .
-
All good points ! My argument is those core of boats that do the long races and short handed series are very well catered for in terms of events year round . They very rarely enter the soft core races like R66 , coastal or bayweek etc so I doubt they will lose sleep over missing the harbour classic . There’s literally hundreds of race boats in Auckland that just club race and don’t do any major races or events . The Harbour classic just might get a lot of them out of the marinas on that day . I still think PHRF is a bloody facepalm and a YNZ rort for such a short race , who
-
Yeah -na , the Auckland Tauranga boats are hardcore and wouldn’t feel like they are missing something would they ? ….north head to Torbay and back ? And it’s more than PHRF it’s cat3+ too

I worked with Johnson many years ago , I think he would’ve been a kid in the 70s
-
I’ve seen a Davidson 35 slide into a 60 foot tri , heaps of room too . Davidson got a bloody nose and tri got a big scratch .
-
Being country bumpkins we are going for the cheap accomodation at Wynyard quarter 😂🤣. But honestly , good on them for trying to breathe some extra life into yachting . Needing a PHRF cert will restrict the numbers and is a bit of a dumb move , or cunning plan to get the cert numbers up and more participation in PHRF only events ?
