MarkMT 68 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12224338 Herald says it dragged its anchor (though it's NZH, so who knows). Seems an odd place to be anchored. Anyone know more? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
khayyam 77 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 There was a similar boat anchored in very close to castor bay a few days ago. Inside the swim platform. Must have been so nearly beached. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Priscilla II 392 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 The photo would suggest the user is more towards the less knowledgeable end of the spectrum.Not so sure about that.Far less fouling easy access and far more cost affordable berthing options given the ever rising tide of cost for marinas.

waikiore 400 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Yes with travel lift rates and the floating dock prices rising I dare say many more of us will resort to careening, as people used to at Okahu bay and issy bay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Priscilla II 392 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Been keen on giving these beach legs a go for a while. Now where can you find a quiet spot to give your bottom a quick rub without some dobber posting you on social media. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,239 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 that pic is a bit odd. The lagoon legs I've seen in use before sit under the rub rail, so the boat can rest on them. What holds the top of those ones?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SloopJohnB 322 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 We use to do R2 on Bucklands Beach with 2 spinnaker poles, 1 each side with a sheet thru a toe rail turning block and back to a winch, clean the bottom go to the pub and come back at full tide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What holds the top of those ones?? Those pictured have a fastening on the topside. These are shaped to hull and tuck under toe rail. Preferred legs no fastenings required but lousy for cleaning bum.

waikiore 400 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Hey Priscilla she has got a look (the yacht) is she a Bill Garden design? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Priscilla II 392 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Not sure about that Waikore you could be right though. That strake that settles through the waterline and deeper makes me think she was a working boat. Will post a pic on WBf and see what drops out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, just make sure you do it in accordance with these easy to understand rules from the unitary plan............ I speak "planner" almost fluently and I'm bamboozled by that rule set!

Adrianp 120 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Actually, it looks like the Unitary Plan contains rules that allow ("P" for Permitted) for a "Grid" or "Careening" away from sensitive coastal areas (SEA M1, ONC, etc) The proviso is that you collect the runoff as far as practical with drop sheets, etc: And that you don't do it don't do it near any of the islands (Pr mean prohibited activity) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Priscilla II 392 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Crikey Adrian thanks for the sore brain reading that. So it is not allowed to clean ones hull of natural reoccurring bio fouling without paying some coining it outfit within 500m of shores. Look I do not begrudge those that make a living cleaning others bums but last time I was on the Dock what was Sharpies $120 transmogrified to $190. Ok his father paid $2m for the rig but slow down boy you don’t have to repay Poppa Bear all in one year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
