Black Panther 1,763 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Sitting at onetangi looking at theNE corner of Waiheke. I'm saying rock. Angela says too big it is an island. Music festival brilliant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Big enuff 4 one inhabitant and able to support that one i.e. arable, & provide shelter or a site where shelter could be built. Close to an ice cream shop. After all othef things - is life really possible without icecream Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SloopJohnB 328 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 To me a rock is a ROCK and an island is an ISLAND if it has dirty, sand and vegetation on it. Not hard to define. Ok some rocks might have a tree or two on it but it wouldn't have a beach. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,763 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 So I won that one, it's a rock. As long as I dont tell Angela I won. So another random question: what is the smallest island you know of? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 530 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Channel island would have to be close Castle island off hahei and cape Brett's piercy island as well beehive but that looks like an island Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brendong 5 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Watchman Island ........With the price of real estate in Auckland I'm amazed it hasn't got a For Sale sign on it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DrWatson 382 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 So an island has to be able to sustain human life, but there are no explanations offered on what exactly that means. I mean, given the right technology, human life can be sustained on the friggin moon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Winter 42 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Beautiful @Sabre. Can you share some details on this? What paint, what non-skid, what prep did you do? Did you remove the tracks? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winter 42 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Removing toe tails does not look like a fun job Sprayed the elite or roll & tip? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I managed a new personal best on my windsurfer - 16.3 kts Sustained bursts above 14 kts. Board just chattering across the water. The weather on Saturday helped... Flat water and plenty of puffy stuff. Getting the hang of hanging off the back and just boosting it 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In fact will take yours if you’re not careful. It owes me some skin off my face. Ditto the Nun, who only cares for seabirds. The whole area will spank you if taken for granted. And full of katipo spiders,but its ok only the female bite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ex Machina 390 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 First step of the new rudder done .... aircraft wing style of construction . carbon foam sandwhich panel laid up in the garage then sent to the CNC dude . next step is to wrap it in some funky sh*t then tip in some 2 part expanding foam . The foam will be sanded back to the ribs and then then it will get skinned carbon . design and construction is being done by my mate Scott who is handy with a computer and carbon . Check his Ross 490 rebuild here on creworg and in boating Nz The rudder will be hanging off a second generation E780 that we are bringing into this century ....next project will be a prod ...possibly a hybrid fixed job with a retractable prod inside it that stays outboard so cabin doesn’t have a bit of carbon right through it 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 530 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Set up new code zero. Not quite on its marks in this photo. At full hoist it's 300mm further inboard but looking great. Should plug the light wind tight reaching gap we have. Thanks Willis Sails. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
