Great event. They got 100+ boats, Quite a few local and Whangarei but also Tauranga and Whitianga Most of the "big" name Auckland 40's and 50's were there and solid fleets below. Weather, organisation, shore facilities, island party were superb.

I’ve got a couple of old fibreglass rod battens just taken out of our old sail cover. Approx 15mm x 6.9 mtr long. Free to good home. Collect Gulf Harbour.

Yeah, I think he's on point with that last comment there. Rest of the article is completely unrelated to the actual issue of abandoned boats - that rusting eyesore has long been sold to another owner, as the article (eventually) gets around to mentioning. Usual trash for the herald these days - more of a gossip tabloid than any actual news, all just a thinly veiled advertising channel for real estate.

Most of the serious race boats were up at bay week until Friday night at least

This is now a 6 year old topic, does anyone know if there been any updates on composite cylinders in NZ since then? I need two new cylinders and was looking at aluminium but the 5kg Aluminium is 418mm high... 20mm too tall to fit in my locker... And I am uncomfortable with the brass valve fitted to an Aluminium bottle in the marine environmnet. The 5 kg Composite bottle is 384 high and will fit nicely. https://www.southernseasmarine.com.au/yacht-boat-non-rusting-lightweight-composite-gas-lpg-cylinder https://hexagonragasco.com/our-composite-lpg-cylinders-3/approvals-and-certific
