  1. If only we could get all our boating clubs to join together in some sort of Federation...

  2. Guess as much as you like! We will never know! Though I think it well suits the Bureaucrats to blame yachties, we are a reasonably widely dispersed group, without a voice, or organisation, who would put their head above the breakwater to speak on our behalf.!!

  3. I should’ve used purple font . Our modest club pays just shy of 10k PA in YNZ affiliation fees and only 3-4 race boat boat owners would be affected if we didn’t pay that . The youth sailing would lose whatever support is on call but even then they do superbly with minimal input from YNZ

  4. That is my point. But aren't they only in charge of Olympic medals? I guess I was using 'the lowest form of wit' to highlight the shortcommings of YNZ. Given the existential threat to hardstands and haulout facilities nationally, AYBA are doing the heavy lifting on that in Auckland, and they get something like $3.56 in my annual club subs, while YNZ get something like $40 or $50. Entirely ineffective organisation with a 'job for life' CEO.

  5. There is an onshore aquaculture venture almost directly west of the wreck . The saltwater intakes would be fecked by bunker fuel not to mention the kingfish and pāua that live there . There’s also a recovering commercial scallop bed the length of bream bay that is one hell of a producer when it’s in good shape . Salty dog bait harvests a shed load pilchards at certain times of the year in bream bay , H and C area . So there is a bit for MPI to think about but it’s not threatening the national economy .

  7. Cruise ship anchor ? Where they anchor in the roads off Tapeka is a great distribution point , the current fangs out of there . Plus cruise ship passages are measured in days not weeks so greater chance of the stuff being nice and fresh
