Guest Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 About $35,000 and a throw line if your a single hander!! Oh! if your boat is less than 30 foot forget it. By the time you load aboard all you need, there won't be room for you!!! Link to post Share on other sites
ab1974 1 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Cat 3 isn't difficult for a Agree with SD - print it out and run through with a highlighter so you and up with a job and buying list. Link to post Share on other sites
Clipper 346 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 cat 3 is a piece of cake for most well found boats. I am happy to have all the required gear. There are 1 or 2 minor niggles, but they are more weight related then $$. Link to post Share on other sites

There are 1 or 2 minor niggles, but they are more weight related then $$. Yep agreed. I went through this for the first time for the Coastal last year and there were only a couple of minor niggles that I had to address. Following the Yachting NZ safety regulations was reasonably easy and in most cases common sense. Jono at Safety at Sea has a spreadsheet that may help if you need to buy stuff. I'm happy to have the safety gear onboard and keep most of it even when I am cruising. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I can do small, I can do light, I can do cheap. I can't guarantee all 3 at the same time. Safety at Sea are please to help out where we can. Our biggest advantage is tailored specification depending on the boat, intended use, and budget. Give us a call at Safety at Sea 09 3099 111 Link to post Share on other sites

Safety at Sea are please to help out where we can. Our biggest advantage is tailored specification depending on the boat, intended use, and budget. Give us a call at Safety at Sea 09 3099 111 My main gripe is with the emergency water. 9L required I believe? Whether you have 1 crew or 15. Pretty minor for most, but on a light cat, I'd be stoked to save 9kg somewhere else, so adding it in water is frustrating, when it is clearly overkill. Link to post Share on other sites
Zoe 8 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Check out the regs were reviewed just recently and there are a few changes that depending on your perspective will help you out, for example 16.14 and 16.16 stored water to cater for the number of crew members onboard. I only know this because i was doing some initial research around it for the Coastal. There are also changes to 16.08 (re cooking stoves), 17.05 (life jackets) and 18.2 (multihulls only) - I'll leave you to figure it out. According to Michael at YNZ there are some additional further changes but they are either minor or clarifications and he didn't list them for me. Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 514 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Cat3 is a good standard to have whether you race or not. Link to post Share on other sites
Bogan 8 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Non-flammable water based beverages probably count to your emergency water, even the amber foamy ones. ...you may still need to finish with the required amount though? Interesting question in the case of post race inspections. Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Interesting question in the case of post race inspections. Sorta defeats the purpose of carrying it! Sorry Mr. Inspector but we had to use a couple of hacksaw blades to break open the emergency 2-4 box of brew... err sorry water! Link to post Share on other sites
