Guest Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Did TNZ and Luna Rosa not pay the Bill? If they had good contracts like those then there may have been some mismanagement IF that is the case then no sympathy is needed. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Did TNZ and Luna Rosa not pay the Bill? If they had good contracts like those then there may have been some mismanagement IF that is the case then no sympathy is needed. or they were going to go belly up last year and were hoping that the new contracts would help them survive.

NevP 0 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 nothing about on the website today . . . If you're referring to Send It's comment in his original post, he said "companies" not "company's" meaning here. I got caught out on that one to start with. Link to post Share on other sites

oliver 0 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 That's a pity, they were building some cool stuff and seemed a really decent crew - the project manager there was very helpful with advice and materials for a repair I'm doing. Link to post Share on other sites
TimW 1 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Seems there may be a china connection in this (well done that man !) and all may not be quite as it at first seemed. Could be more news to follow as the saga unfolds Link to post Share on other sites
whynotri 0 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Story posted on the new Boating NZ website this afternoon. http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/boating/ne ... f-15-staff Sad indeed. Link to post Share on other sites
GregW 28 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Here's one for the lawyers/accountants here, If they are in liquidation how can they be packing up moulds etc to send overseas (according to the stuff article) when one would assume this would be the very gear the liquidator would be looking to sell to pay creditors? Assuming there are creditors otherwise why liquidation? Or, speaking generally, is liquidation a valid ploy to avoid the full costs of closing down (like rent guarantees, wages etc.) and shifting offshore? Link to post Share on other sites
bene_sails 0 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 in the case of the class 40 moulds, they are owned by BT boats, not hakes-or cooksons. i presume the Sl33s are owned by the overseas dude who comissioned the first ones... Link to post Share on other sites
