Yup, was a bit cramped aboard and the crew were a pack of animals.

The erosion process is natural weathering, wave action undercutting the mudstone until eventually the top bit falls. Its made worse by removal of native vegetation and earthworks which alters the drainage and water table. These heavy rains saturate the ground and weight tends to makes the strata slide on top of each other, if you've ever been to any of the gold mining sites and seen the power of sluicing where they used to literally demolish hillsides, its obvious you really need to have good drains on a cliff site! Whats surprising about the guy who lost his swimming pool (and his house has

considering a new boat more suited to the Auckland conditions, maybe a live aboard. Anyone crewed on this design before?

According to a council study of coastal erosion elsewhere it's pretty common to have no erosion mitigation plans, just let it run its course. The corollary is that they dont build on mudstone cliff edges!

I know of many who have come here with no insurance , but not in the last couple of years.

Aucklands papa cliffs erode quite quickly, its probable that these were built well back initially. Cliff top properties in Auckland are vulnerable

Thanks Raz, that's exactly the info I needed - you saved me hours of research. Vetus looks pretty sound [ pun intended!]
