waikiore 473 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Perhaps the unlikely and impractical school story is just a delaying tactic to keep the council at bay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

khayyam 101 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 The irony will be that by the time the HM does pull the trigger and scrap it, everything of value will be gone and so they'll get nothing in return. Whereas if they'd done it ASAP there might still have been some value there. I hope I'm wrong and it ends up off the rocks as a playground. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1paulg 20 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Unfortunately a sad end to this story - the boat broke up today and the debris is either on the bottom or in Matiatia Bay beach Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi The Council and Harbourmaster are empowered by the Maritime Transport Act 1994. Wreck issues are very clearly dealt with "33JRemoval of wrecks by regional council (1) A regional council may take steps in accordance with this section to remove and deal with any wreck within its region that is a hazard to navigation." Likely a bit of a stretch to say that wreck was a hazard to navigation when it is hard on the rocks in 1 metre of water and not likely to float off. Not is states "Council" and not "Harbourmaster" i.e. it is a power of the elected officials. If you read the section of the Act the Harbourmaster has many powers but removal of wrecks is not one of those. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 473 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Just a waste of a shippy little craft, that would have had many miles left in her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The cost is in the clean up -debris scattered let alone a rig , keel and motor still to be recovered 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waikiore 473 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 The keel if lead will be salvaged the rest.... I thought they were taking the rig off straight after New Year? Perhaps a bit too much like work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mizzen mast went - I believe to be someone's flagpole -main mast was still in place up until the blow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1paulg 20 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Just talked to someone who came in from the Barrier and they came across a 4x3 m section of the wreck out in the Gulf so be aware -there is debris floating around - keep an eye out -particularly launches travelling at speed. They notified Coastguard and the Harbourmaster Quote Link to post Share on other sites

khayyam 101 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Yuck. Reflects very badly on the owners, of course, but imo the hm should not have allowed it to get to this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Y88 5241 27 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Wonder who actually owns it now? If the school took the boat, perhaps the clean up cost is now on them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
