  1. So that would be a maritime rule, written somewhere?

    Head vent

    Have the pair of 38 hoses going above the WL up to the nylon (Hansen?) inverted U thingy, but instead of the wee vent thingy, it tees into the vent hose from the holding tank,leading outboard. Instead, can I get the wee vent for the top of the U and separate the 2 , and no smell?
  6. "the yacht was likely taking on water due to a leak" Marlborough Harbourmaster-you dont say Einstein.

    Can you just mix up a half quantity? Mixed it all and heaps left over wasted. Does it keep for a year or two in the tin?
  8. Im in the market for a burner, but cant take a whole with an oven a nd all
  9. Built in the wee square plate, is the spring,then the carbon(?)thing, then contacts(I think,offhand) Hose is removed. This is the gizmo that goes click and auto ignites.
  10. Hi, any answer for me? The burner no go. That spring loaded thing just behind the front busted.Have stripped but dont see how can repair. So only one burner going.

    What I want to know, is will the organizer s make a profit?Would the AC go ahead if they knew the world would be locked down with covid when they began organizing it?
  18. Wish to install a Volvo shaft seal.But my stern gland is of the style of having 2studs to put pressure on the packing.(its not circular). So need a round gland style that would take a volvo seal. Where from please? Also, a packed sterngland supports the shaft, but the volvo wouldn't. Is this an issue?
  19. So, be registered with MNZ. (and no need for number carved in beam,) and get cat 1 from YNZ(no need to be on their register)and good to go.
  20. Am I confusing NZ Maritime with NZY.Can you go offshore with NZM, but dont need to be NZ Y registered?
  21. So does anybody know of any advantage of having a number? I can't think of any.
  22. My yacht came with the OT number carved in an overhead frame.I think it means you are listed with Lloyds of London (no idea why). I am not on the NZ register(meaning cant race with NZY,cant go overseas,no sail number,no sole rights to boat name) You can search the NZ register on line for your boat name/number. A fee for change of owner.
  23. Loving it! What is the insignia on the Italians headsail? Looks like the old Woolboard trademark ( the 3 multi circles) Maybe the new sail material?
