  4. I wouldn't worry about it. Tainui are in charge of the Waikato River now, and they will sort it out properly. None of this Colonialist govt departments and science and stuff. Am I allowed to say that now? Its not politics or religion? (that part is a serious question) Please advise if anyone spontaneously erupts by reading that post.

  8. this runs at the level of paranoia seen in various other conspiracy theories. You'll be burning effagies on the steps of Parliament next. Commercial shipping and others can be addressed directly - its a pretty small group, easily identified and well controlled. Recreational boats, not so much. The various statements from Regional Councils, MPI etc to "boaties" (a broad church that covers everyone from the owner of a 4m tinny to the Gin Palace brigade) are communications to the largest un-unified group. That group is largely ignorant of the biology, the risks and the methods of con

  10. I spoke to a specialist on this at the Boat Show today. He is AC's Biosecurity guy. Incidentally he was the guy that kicked off the issues with needing to keep The Landing open to provide biosecurity capability. He couldn't say anything on that as he's been gagged. I shook his hand anyway. I challenged him on how it got here and the allegation that yachts spread it. He believes it is most likely that it got into NZ as an aquarium plant. It is very popular in aquariums as the fish don't eat it. On shipping, he says that is unlikely, as ballast water is now filtered, both on intake and disc

  11. Here's an explanation of the definition of finishing as per recent changes https://www.sailing.org/tools/documents/13918RacingRulesofSailingDefinitionFinishNewDefinitionSailtheCourseRules2835andrelatedrules-[24321].pdf Regarding the sailing instructions, if there is a modification of a rule it must be stated clearly (note this is about changes to the RRS) 85.

  13. When the SI's change a rule, they have to say something like: "this changes rule XX" eg: “First Substitute” will be lowered at the same time as the new Warning signal is flown. This changes RRS Rule 29.2 Failure to make broadcast will not be grounds for redress. This changes RRS Rule 62.1(a) The SI's cannot make up new rules, they can only change existing rules and even then only the rules that they are allowed to change. As Psyche points out there are many rules that cannot be changed.
