Matauwhi Bay , they are universally known as the mudcrabs, and fouling no where near as bad as Opua2 points

Pity that official can't see the successful and extensive history of scuba tanks which work at 3000 psi and are hydro tested to 5000 using a similar system......1 point

My pick would be just upstream from Opua. Well away from stray ocean swell; away from most vessel wake; handy to supplies; close to marine services; handy to fuel and water; possible to rent a temporary berth when cyclone forecast (which I have done twice); car parking; bike hire; walkway to Paihia; bus to Auckland at top of hill.1 point

Matauwhi Bay is pretty popular with liveaboards. Short walk to Russel town and supermarket, Boat club right there for social stuff, nice dinghy pontoon. Also very sheltered for most wind directions1 point

I can't find many specs for the Nova 28 online or in my database right now but I would think I could supply both a main and genoa in Tri Dacron for around 5k. If you have any basic dimensions then I can price it up properly for you or if the boat is in Auckland I could come down and measure it up then quote. www.roguesails.co.nz1 point

Thanks for that all. I'm a very experienced sailor but the west coast is a pretty finicky bit of water. I've done it the other way round but not up. As I guessed it's a no no without some sort of autohelm.1 point

I'd be interested to read of any incident with LIFEPO4 batteries being identified as the cause of ANY fire, ashore or afloat, BMS failure or not. LifePo4 batts are VERY hard to make burn (ABYC tried to do it and couldn't) - other Lithium chemistries have no place on a boat IMO.1 point
