darkside 61 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 What happened to the Spencer Sirius? Looks like she dragged the mooring maybe 30m into the Tamaki River channel in the last blow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe. 200m from shore he wasn't. Its a bit hard to see in the video but he was within the 200m. He was the 3rd punter that day to zoom past. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Priscilla II 392 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 "A Maratimo 60 planing past 100 metres away is far worse" Try a 84ft stinkpot twat thundering full tit down the harbour a couple of weekends ago. Spilt my organic muesli all over the cockpit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 The open speed extends another half mile further east of me (Ballistic). It's actually the stbd pile further along. Trust me I know - given up trying to solder on board! http://temp.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/EN/licencesregulations/maritimeregulations/Documents/aucklandharbourrestrictedareas.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 512 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Its a hard one, sure they are technically wrong but what is the rule trying to achieve? Sunny day , flat water, good vis probably more annoying than unsafe. A Maratimo 60 planing past 100 metres away is far worse Yeah, as someone in that situation almost every weekend, I'd rather they went past like that, than dragging their arse at some mythical 5 knots. And I hear you about the Maritimo. If boats ever require a warrant of fitness, lets hope wake is treated the same way as noise/smoke in cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southernman 73 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 There were some complete useless stink pots out on the gulf on Saturday, when you have a complete ocean why do you have to pass within 20metres of a yacht struggling in light air and wave? Two boats on Saturday did this to me on the way to the Barrier Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clipper 343 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 its like some of these pr1cks never look behind and see the carnage they wreak on yachts, especially when its light wind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rmiker 15 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 its like some of these pr1cks never look behind and see the carnage they wreak on yachts, especially when its light wind. Ohh they do!! You can tell from all the laughter and finger pointing from the kids.. See it so often Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrytom 646 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Ohh they do!! You can tell from all the laughter and finger pointing from the kids.. See it so often Hence the reason I am all for registration,so you can nail the Pr2cks, By having a number it will confirm the vessel you are complaining about,at the moment how do you complain about 16ft white sea nymph rakino??how many fit that description?yes suppose to have a name of 90mm but whats the point with no registration? Fair chance if it was a yacht creating havoc even though current owner not listed with ynz still a god chance of tracking them in a marina or mooring as most have a name and sail number on the hull.

southernman 73 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 In the end I gave up and joined them motoring, talk about a drifter of a day. Made it to Tauranga what a lovely part of the coast to sail!! Next step round the East Cape. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Myjane 40 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Yes native that’s what we want if it doesn’t sink in that others have to put up with the bad wash of these boats because most of the skippers of these boats do t have a clue what they are doing. They are not boating people they don’t care and don’t want to know , most have never done any safety training or seamanship corses they only want to go fishing or tow there kids around anchorages ,, I used the words ,,most , and some , but not all , as the ones who do respect the others we wave thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrytom 646 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Registration? F that, we dont want to go down that road. Be careful what you wish for, annual fees, cof's, drivers licenses, fines, water police, random inspections for lifejackets etc- it's bureaucrats wet dream to register us. How else do you lodge a complaint?? Trailer boats are easy,must display trailer rego?? only needs to be a one off fee until change of ownership,we have it too easy in NZ. with our increasing boating population it must come in or do we wait until we have a few deaths?bit like a pedestrian crossing not outside my place we dont need it,next minute 3 deaths Oh there should be a crossing.

Myjane 40 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 You have a seriously large serial number on there bows as in America on boats We yachts have a sail number as I.d then they will stay away from us so we can’t read the number to complain. And that’s all we want 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hurts 6 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I’m with Native on this - you never want to go down this path Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Priscilla II 392 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Pretty much everything is registered one way or another. Gives new immigrants jobs along with revenue grabbing for the Council issuing parking infringements on The Lords day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
