Young Entertainer

I had a pink hobie 16 called nipples, when I sold it the guys wife was adament it had do be renamed until he pointed out renaming a boat as bad luck but would let her add another word to the name, after half an hour of suggestions none of which where deemed acceptable she gave up, he bought it and left the name as it was

Will be there for the Worser Bay Optimist Nationals and already taking 2 Optimists and a Large RIB so cant fit the last support boat. ideally 3-4m will be used as a support boat for a Green Fleet Sailor. I have my own 8hp engine I can use if easier. Experienced support boat operator, happy to part with cash or rum. Send me PM if you have an option and I can call to dicuss

go the lazy jacks and normal main, that is what i did on my 1020, that way you can pull the lazy jacks forward to the mast when sailing and fully remove if you want to rave. To Drop just let the halyard go andtidy up alter, hide any imperfections under a main cover

moving the cooling off the sail drive is fairly common as the holes block up and the on/off valve often seizes, i have only ever had sail drive and all mine have been like that no issue. New had an oil expansion issue, just make sure that the level is correct and it works itself out. Also check oil is not milky as that indicates water getting in the bottom seal. When antifouling crack the drain plug and make sure the first drops out are clean. If you need to to the bottom seal it is a simple DIY job when on the hard.

pine harbour is on a bore so no restrictions on the hard stand or the marina as no mains water. beachlands and maraetai is all tanks so no restrictions either

boat not coming out just the rig at the gantry at Bucks, scheduled for the 14th at this stage

Whole lot is coming out I was giving to a rigger who has always sorted me out for part but you can take what you want for a bottle of rum, if you need to check it out prior boat is at pine hrbour

i have decided to replace the whole lot so a bottle of Mt gay will probably get you all the parts you need, should be getting removed mid september at Bucks. send me a PM if interest with your number and i will give you a call

or move to tank supply, i am still only 2min to the marina and i currently have 51000l spilling into the drains it has rained so much in auckland recently. Rigged up a 500l container in the back of the ute with a submersible pump and 100m hose an and good to go

got brand new in the box impeller and saildrive annodes (the three piece set) plus a second hand fuel pump, happy to swap for a bottle of Mt Gay as none if it is any use to me anymore

dont suppose you kept the old one, i would be keen to "rent" it or buy the new one if you dont want it, i am going to replace with a new furler so looking for something to last until then

yeah that one, have updated the title

specifically part number 505-508 which is the metal feeder, anyone got one they want to swap for a bottle of rum?

Cheapest 1020 I have seen is 40k, but normally 60ish for a reasonable one. Main thing with them is engine and sails. The association often knows of boats for sale and hat are not on trademe, not all boats make it there

if you want the security of a solid boat with ability to race and keep up, budget allowing go for a 1020, will do both well, better cruising boat than an 88 due to its volume yet still plenty to race with and being class boats only need a couple of sails

Keeping a watching eye on this one, have done island racing the last few years but might be keen for a windward leeward per day to mix it up

Acccording to the book thermostat starts opening at 90deg and not fully open until 102deg, i have been told that 100 deg is not unusual and wont trigger the alarm, will check that part number next time i am down, i am also going to take an IR thermometer and check what temp the heat exchanger gets to

thanks, my issue has been covered perfectly, i put a new one in 3 weeks ago, and the box failed after 5hrs, was told they have never seen that before, yet in talking to other owners it very quickly became apparent it is a well known issue, my box was replaced under warranty with a warning that i need to get the whole electrics on the boat checked as another failure would not be covered, will have that argument if the time comes, engine was installed by a volvo dealer and signed off with the 5yr warranty so until that time i dont want to make mods that void that such as shifting the box bu

Anyone got comments on these engines, specifically anyone had one installed and had any issues with it?

we have the same setup, pull the lines forward when we are sailing/racing, never leave them out when the cover is on, dont put them out to raise the main, but do put them out to lower, on my last boat (1020) i made them strong enough to hold the boom up for the drop and it saved having a topper. Current boat has a hard vang so not required to hold the boom up and do work slightly better when a bit looser. We will strip the boat for racing but somehow the lazy jacks get to stay

the delivery i ordered today doesnt have an ETA but wont be before the 25th March, hence the reason we ordered, might be another holiday on the boat if we run out!

we are tank water also, average about 500l a day in summer with two preteen kids, so i guess 125l per person per day. our 50k of storage is at 25% and i ordered water today for the first time in 15years of being on a tank so it is definately a dry year.

Currently in the boat and can be seen running, seatrialled. Will be removed as part of a repower, freshwater cooled, includes instrument panel, saildrive and kiwi prop. Runs perfectly, needs real seal done when it is out of the boat and mechanic advised that the heat exchanger should be cleaned at last service in October Just motored 20hrs back from Bay week no issue, and happy for you to be involved in removing from the boat if you want, I am working towards a repower mid May/June Looking for 5k for the lot

I put electric into my 1020 a few years ago, but did the cabinet at the same time and had the copper fused to the back of the stainless, worked exceptionally, and was great as i had shore power so ice stayed there 24/7 but be aware you cannot reuse the existing stainless box if it has been for a compressor as you need to remove the brine tanks, this could have been 5k on its own, luckily I didn't have brine tanks so reused and the whole job was about 4k including a digital controller so the freezer stayed at -15 constantly. used about 3amps an hour for 100litres so was pretty efficient.

yeah decided to push the marina and got a slot on the hard for 4 days pre xmas to the old one can come off and i can put a new one on properly, always mange to find a rush job pre holidays!
