  1. Hi all, I have decided to let her go on $1 reserve since work has taken me abroad. I would rather the boat be enjoyed and kept in good condition than let it become another one of the neglected boats. Please share if you know of anybody in the market for a boat! https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1845004666&ed=true I wonder why more people dont syndicate boats among a couple of club members or friends...
  2. New Force is for sale. Type: SR26 Construction: GRP with wooden core She is a really fun boat both for racing and weekend adventures. She comes with a dinghy and a 2hp Yamaha outboard. At present she does not have an outboard and that is reflected in the price, a 8hp long shaft outboard will do the job. $13,000 ono. If interested please send me a message, then we can take it from there. She is currently out of the water and will likely go back into the water after the weekend. Sail inventory: 1 x Big roach in good condition 1 x Dracon main OK for cruising 1x No1 Genoa Kevlar very

I had quite a lot of mussels on it (about 30cm diameter) my moorings previous service was at a similar time to yours. I ended up going to the boat at low slack tide and winched the line up bit by bit clearing the mussels off. It was about 2m worth of them, that sorted my issue completely. Before sorting it out, the mooring buoy got pulled under by the current on me, disappearing below the surface when I let go. It was a fairly unpleasant start to the w

  8. Hi Guys, Thank you for the response I will try to get photos this weekend or the corroded area. JP
  9. Hi all, I went to look at a boat today and saw some corrosion on the aluminum mast. The corrosion occurred just below the rubber boot seal where the mast goes through the cabin roof. The corrosion formed a 3mm hole all the way through the mast at the leading edge. Does anybody here have any experience with this type of problem? Is it a problem?
  10. Hi all, I am new to the city of sails and have decided to take up sailing. Me and my wife would appreciate the opportunity to crew on a boat or separate boats at the rum race this Friday and/or subsequent events. I have sailed a bit on a Hobie 14, my wife has no experience. I would really appreciate any opportunity to get into the sport over here. Please let me know if you can assist or know of someone I can contact to make an arrangement. Kind Regards, Johan Pretorius
