  1. Don't have a chat plotter as this works just fine. Also Don't bother with a speedo anymore, speed is on the phone too.
  2. I went to Fiji and back using an android phone and mariner mx primarily and navionics occasionally. Had a tablet as well but phone was more convenient.
  3. I waste far too much time looking at this
  4. Waaaaaaaa. We were going to get off the mooring for the first time in aaaages.
  5. Hull is balsa cored so what youmight end up drilling through that
  6. Ok, might need a professional opinion to know for sure, but the rust you see could be from 50 yrs of condensation. They weep a lot, if anyone knows a solution to that one I'd love to hear it. Sounds like a nasty job , good luck.
  7. I see Sail GP as akin to professional wrestling.
  8. What is your objection to reproducing the original, they are well proven. In fact why are you wanting to replace them?
  9. Nice, I loved the old paint job.
  10. Oh I remember that one from when I was a teenager racing dinghies at Onerahi.
  11. Just went by, they haven't drowned yet.
  12. There was a great display of naori and Polynesian ocean going vessels at the Auckland museum a number of years ago. Terrific.
  13. I can get in there at 2.8m draft
  14. For me the main purpose of going electric is to not have an ice engine. I'm happy to go a bit slower and 60 NM is plenty of range. Recharging off grid is an issue, but the technology continues to improve.
  15. The difference between want vs need.
  16. Years ago a cav32 was run into a rock at just over 7kn. The front of the keel was mulched but the bolts the hull and the join were unaffected. A bit of work with a plane and some bog and away she went. Still sailing around today. The factory painted the tops inside the hull with epoxy, it kept the nuts from turning. That thin epoxy skin hadn't cracked.
  17. I gotta get me a helm wheel
  18. He's got to live with himself.
  19. Impressed with your LGTQ+friendly lifelines.
  20. I hear Little Shoal Bay is gone.
  21. This lady is really good
  22. The GPS satellites are further from the earth than the space station. Far enough that they experience a different space/time than earth. So time goes faster for them. So. Their time is corrected according to Einstein s general theory of relativity before launch.
