  2. Awesome event. Shithouse organisers. All boats should, as a condition of entry, have to stay in the water for 8 weeks prior to start without being hauled and /or cleaned in any fashion. Even if I could I would not enter or support the organiser by entering.

  4. A mooring in Northland is going to set you back around half your budget. You will also be required to service the mooring every 3 years so there’s at least 1k/3y. There will be semi regular inspections of your hull by NRC for invasive bio fouling. If found you have to haul and clean at an approved facility of which there are very few. if you live on your mooring you will attract additional attention from NRC w.r.t. treatment and disposal of black water. You might need to furnish a plan and be able to prove compliance with the plan. As an example, AFAIR, there’s a local rule preventin

  5. I would like someone to tell us what they are hoping to achieve and how. One adult female Fanworm produces 30,000 eggs once or twice a year. And they had millions of years of evolution to learn how to spread before boats were invented. Thus IMHO they're going to end up anywhere they can survive irrespective of what we do. Meanwhile they're all gone from our river after ther rains. Seems they don't like fresh/brackish water. Same reason Marsden cove is full of Fanworm and none at the town basin.

  6. The issue is they don't know how to clean them in the water, without causing further propagation.. If you scape them off, one becomes 3 - or more. if you poison them, other species suffer. Its not easy.
