LBD 76 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 The majenta triangle, Cape Brett / Three Kings / Bream Head... Why is this area to be avoided? (I see no note) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K4309 145 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Do you mean the Poor Knights and not the Three Kings? Three Kings are north of North Cape & Cape Reinga. The area between Cape Brett, Poor Knights and Bream Head is excluded to heavy shipping, to avoid the risk of a Rena type catastrophic incident with the oil tankers coming into Marsden Point. I can't remember the tonnage, it is on the note. Either 50 tonnes or 500 tonnes. Due to the whole Tutukaka Coast being one of the top 10 coasts in the world, and the Poor Knights being such a valuable reserve and marine habitat. Yachts and launches etc can go up there freely. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LBD 76 Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 Yes, sorry... "Poor Knights" .... simple error for an aging South Islander who had never been in the area before.... yes Harry Tom... Thanks for the reply. Yes it is a beautiful area, we only flew by on a delivery trip, only stopping at Matauri bay for a night. 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
