The only new stocks I did were of 2205 Duplex ss with tangs plug welded by a top NZ SS fabricator , now sadly deceased.
-
The joy of multihulls Tide/Wind Wind/Tide . Pacific Bay in Tut may be less stressful, though Wellington bay is fine as long as its well north.
-
Replaced a couple of Chico 40 rudder stocks about 22 years ago after one snapped flush with the hull North of NZ . Yes they were alloy and I dont believe that big a diameter. The first boat got towed back here and we put a new rudder on (with SS stock) then she went offshore another couple of years later and main bulkhead came away after rigging was slack so the occupants got off and I believe she washed up on a reef somewhere.

The last boat coming in seems a little stuck at the hen, reminds me of a certain Blackadder episode, I hope they dont have to resort to the same diet........☠️

Seven will finish, Romany you have it there -these races require much thought and planning -and are really only suited to ocean going yachts that are happy enough (not comfortable, but capable) for hour after hour with 25-30 on the nose.

(After snapping below the top bearing)
-
Alloy shaft tapered at the top 😕 I think from videos that it probably just broke the bottom bearing housing away and flooded her rather than dropping out and piercing the hull.
-
Did my one just before Christmas, genuine seals -and the bearings from a bearing shop about $150.00 for parts and two hours work (including making some timber shapes to press it together)
-
Getting close over here, have had requests for an EWOF on two boats that I have -neither of which is ever plugged in to the national grid ! One does not even have any wiring on board ! (apart from outboard killswitch)
-
Though strictly not a marine business, Neil and his sister looked after many of us Beaumont st workers , just one more sign of Panuku et al renting the industry out in favour of developers and their apartments.

Any water/bug going through an electronic injector and you have a big expensive problem, our navy has already experienced this many years ago with some German built diesels.
-
With Westhaven pricing ever going north, your new ship is looking v attractive to me.
-
Almost did in January with two tugs fighting hard to control a ship in strong Westerly , took her to Chelsea -then back down the Harbour when the wind died to the Port.
-
In last weekends case it wasnt Wussell that was trying to renegociate on Thursday -just saying
-
It was rather a lot more about the Iwi than the Hector that wasnt...
-
How did it go -I saw some Milford piedies heading there on friday? Tricky scheduling stuff at this time of year, Classics to Waiheke , Panmure 2H 3L etc etc
-
Very impressive build
-
Dave Jackson bow in the background?
-
Colin Bekesi would know-but I am not sure that he is still with us ...
-
Actually with the volume of fuel on these ships it will not be burned before the Bug can grow, also mechanical damage can and will occur particularly with common rail engines and electronic injectors. The key point to know here is that no water in fuel = no bug . This goes for a frigate or a Reactor with a 1GM Yanmar. Most major Diesel manufacturers do not recommend biocides . Prevention is better than cure..

I recall the one behind it , its GRP but has circumnavigated. (Gravel Rocks & Pebbles)
-
The ketch? rig in the Tamaki looks fairly big?
-
Interesting that those cover boats are still filling the entry lists today -ie there has been no revolution in design for local yachties.
-
Yes constant fuel polishing like most offshore cruising powerboats??
-
Look for another in two years.....Re the missing M class , not many have been racing of late but there was a lovely Silver Fern there and an X class.
