Just back from 12 days out. Original intent was Gt Barrier, but the weather gods decreed two weeks of windless conditions. So we lazily toured the islands and anchorages available around Coromandel. We didn't regret it. Stops included Te Kouma, Woolshed Bay and Deep Cove on Whanganui Island, Waimate Island, Moturua Island, Motuwi Island, and Happy Jack. Apart from Te Kouma and Chamberlain's on our last night, we had a maximum of 3 boats in sight each evening. Deep Cove we had to ourselves for 3 days. Along the way we had encounters with dolphins, orca, a number of hammer

Have you heard the ancient Chinese curse? "May you own more than one boat"....

A lot of people got a lot of work done on their boats there. Another example of pushing the budget boatie out. It’s been there along time.I bought my Trimaran from there early eighties and she had been there for years before that

It was still a hard stand, regardless if it was to your taste or not.

Not sure whether it has been mentioned here but the inaugural wooden boat festival is on next weekend at the viaduct

Looks to be a new Rapido 40 in NZ, seen being commissioned in Tauranga

I can thoroughly recommend an Elliott 1050 - there’s one on trademe at the moment!

Lots of big Bronzies around at the moment 1.8/2m+and they are not shy.

Correct. 2 divisions, single or double. Not accounting for any amputees racing I guess you could say a 2 handed and a 4 handed class 😉

This clashes with the Panmure 2-handed 3-legged, and Waikato Gulf Classic.

Great. Hope there's a huge fleet, in contrast to anniversary day!

The Habour Classic is coming round again, Josh Leys will be providing the music at the party on Friday night, and the race itself on Saturday 9th March. Entry fee is now only $30, and that still inlcudes 2 nights berthing in Jellicoe wharf! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Prepare to set sail as PIC Insurance Brokers extends their support, allowing us to significantly reduce the PIC Harbour Classic fee to only $30! In our unwavering commitment in making th

Just received this email from NZMHYC. I will get back in my box, they obviously tried pretty hard to avoid a clash while getting their new classic underway. And it seems there are some future harbour events that they want this to be a part of which played a role in the conflict. Whilst we were very excited to bring you the news of the inaugural Harbour Classic (Saturday 1st April 2023), we recognise this is on the same weekend as the Altex Yacht & Boat Paint Auckland to Tauranga Race (Altex A2T). The Altex A2T race for cruising yachts starts at 1000hrs on Thursday 30th March with th

They should do a mark foy like we used to for the crew rum race.
