Does anyone know where you can buy 1 piece dorades with a flexible base? I can only find the new version which has no base as part of the actual dorade but has a plastic insert (with the base) which goes up into the dorade (bit hard to see on this link but there are two parts - https://fostersshipchandlery.co.nz/products/homer-low-profile-flexi-cowl-vents) I can't get my bronze (screw on) fitting over the bulge in the new version. ta

Was thinking it looked like a 50 footer in that top photo. Infusion process looks complex.

Shoulda put a mast on it ay... Not a trailer set up but for a modern boat I love the look of these Salthouses. http://www.salthouseboats.com/southstar-37-coastal-cruising-vessel.html

Except when you put it all together you get something a whole, WHOLE, lot more sexy! Are you getting a carbon mast DW

I live between two broker berths and recently got a gouge out of the side of the boat. (I only finished repainting the whole thing 18 months ago) Was talking to the neighbour across the pier and he said he saw the guy leave and somehow get the nose of his newly acquired stinkpot through onto my side of the pole. I know the boat is around at Milford marina now but what can you do. Kinda pisses me off as I'm pretty sure I'd know if I hit someones boat. But then I'd also know if I hit someones car with my scooter, like some goon did at a set of lights about a month ago, who then r

Foxes and steering wheels wasn't it?

Are there a sh*t tonne of people standing down the port rail of that speedship? Not so sure about his (her??) driving tactics, wouldn't you be better to track it down wind rather than zigging and zagging about the ocean?

Yeah, I'm not even sure why I was asking if it was here or not given I've barely got a brass razoo to my name and my boat has a growing list of things that need doing... I like my similar aged Kauri log but immediately get excited when I see a pogo.

Is this sitting in nz?? https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/auction-1903951869.htm?rsqid=85e5157d687b4734bd1bb87268fa3c82

Amazing write up about the stranding and rescue attempt someone had put up on the Historic Vessel Vega FB page. https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/LT18650323.2.10?query=wreck%20daring%20&items_per_page=100&start_date=01-01-1865&end_date=31-12-1865&snippet=true&type=ARTICLE&fbclid=IwAR0rEHqRIdiHhGjngHMhQFD4ZJESkXwjjtPZeU-7hRjFxZUt_sKjhWwETA0 scroll down a bit for the Daring. They pretty much had her off only to get skunked by a new swell arriving just as they had gotten her afloat again. The owner walked from south Manukau head up to the stranding

After 6 (gulp) months of parking fees I got to take some photo's looking back in.

That's a thing of beauty, if you order two I'll share the freight

No rocketship like most of the other entries but I love the look of the Boreals

Can you use this stuff before you get a bug?

What's with that bloody great shark hanging in the background of the tri...???

Ouch! But have to say, being out the Barrier in 2hrs would be pretty cool! Not really my cup of tea but still a pretty cool machine and even at that cost must be way under what it cost to build.

Totally off topic but, how much fuel an hour are you burning at 27 knots? 100L? Or more? Yesterday she traveled from Tauranga to Wellington in 17 hours at an average speed of 27 knots.

That's a bloody interesting thought! It's those sort of things that make memories that stick with kids for life as well, and if those memories stick they're more likely to stay with it. We spent quite a bit of time skiing this year, the bits the kids liked the most was going on little missions into the gulleys and guts the volcano has, stuff that tested them a bit, the last day we walked up to the crater lake, skiing down was by far the highlight of the season for them. That's the same as sailing out to an island and camping. My oldest fella is 8 now so old enough to do the youth thi

Wow, you're the odd one out if you're not French. 120+ entries, 17 non frenchies.

Interesting guy, sounds like he spent a good bit of time down here, anyone ever meet him? http://wavetrain.net/boats-a-gear/830-nick-skeates-on-wylo-ii-the-ultimate-barebones-cruiser-and-his-ultimate-dirt-simple-boat

I think he's referring to the pedestrian crossing beside the roundabout/breakwall? Have to say I took one look at that and my very first thought was that it looked like an accident waiting to happen.
