Lovely work IT

Hi guys I have been side tracked to the peaceful surrounds of a beautiful offgrid northland lsb so my pelagic is still feeling unwanted. It came in a box delivered to my front door. I will dig out the invoice. The arm is ss construction. It has separate waterproof compass and control boxes and looks far superior to my plastic raymarines.

oops slow service here

Elliot749 what performance difference do you have with the kiwiprop please? My current boat has the same engine and leg as yours. I had a kiwiprop on my previous boat and found it great

According to Sail World they decided to suspend racing 6 miles west of Cape Horn to do better repairs where the mast track came unglued from the mast 5 days ago. There's a high coming so they bank on not losing too much ground to the others apparently

They picked Gita hitting the South Island 10 days out. They are very good

Youtube has a number of vids of different size yachts using them. Webb Chiles on his Moore 24 Gannet is the best known user of the Pelagic. The lead time for them has gone from 3 weeks to 6 weeks in the last 12 months. What does that tell you?

Hi Meister work got in the way of boat stuff big time.I will be doing the install finally in the next couple of weeks as I have some work free time. I will let you know how it goes. Cheers

Maybe one crew swaps out in Honkers then. He admitted he didn't even communicate what he was doing so I imagine he's received a right bollocking from the rest

I am following it, enjoying some spectacular photos and watching the different routing strategies. Today Scallywag recovered a MOB in 7 minutes while sailing at double figures. How good is that? Well done guys

Nice one well done! That's great going must have been exciting. Merry Christmas

Congratulations! What a catch that one is. Well done!That's a bonus Christmas present for all the family that will keep a smile on your face for a long time. Enjoy! By the way what rig and bait were you using? Cheers

Francois is a special sailor. As I see it autopilots steer enabling him to sail the boat, keep up with repairs and routine checks of all equipment. In some of his recent blogs he makes it clear what physical and mental toll it takes to keep that machine at optimum speed. He thought he was doing really well getting more than 4 hours sleep in 24. Sorry I don't remember what site that was on.

Wow! Another special sailing chapter closes but it looks like you are enjoying your new baby which is great

Correction, Mapfre's average was 17.1

Mapfre, with Blair Tuke onboard has won the 2nd leg to Cape Town by 36 miles. Brunel with Peter Burling onboard finished 4th 136 miles behind. Mare's average speed was 17.1kts

Well done Beccara! I am sure you will value all that hot work very shortly

Thanks KM. Yes there is a foot switch. I agree with you and would prefer to have a separate on/off switch. Job list +1. Thanks

I decided to take this baby off my boat, give it some love then start using it. It hasn't worked which hasn't been an issue as the anchor, chain, rope is easy to pull up by hand. What I thought would be the problem source, the solenoid I can't find anywhere. One cable goes back to the start battery, the other to the big 1,2, both switch. Where should the solenoid go and does it matter what type please? The capstan is only for up hauling. Thanks guys

Looking great KM. How satisfying for you after all your hard work. It looks like you're on the home straight now.

Congratulations!
