  1. 4k in stock - what's that - a 1/2 pallet of tins!?!
  2. Yeee haww! https://youtu.be/2LRhkMH48_Q
  3. passengers in a car may not be aware of the risk - children for example. So I think the analogy to a recreational skipper is fair (air craft pilots are a different matter). For accurate comparison - his fine was $6750, His reparation payments to the passengers who were hurt totalled ~128k.
  4. I was amazed at the carnage on the river when we were on it this weekend. A good number of sunken vessels (don’t short cut the northern end of the bucks moorings btw! ), drifters - there’s still one on the putty just a few 100m from me at Farm Cove. And I’m sure U-Neek is closer to the starboard channel marker - though John B reckons she’s longer than the previous boat on that mooring.
  5. He won’t need to cook mate - fresh big game sashimi for thousands of miles out there!
  6. Nice - Southernman - sounds like you'll only be able to tell us how great it is!
  7. I always thought it would be easy to install a concrete wash bay with piles. Once you've blasted down your boat just wash the stuff into a pit and shovel it into garbage bags for disposal. Not really different to what's done on the quick haul at Panmure. Bund only needs to be 100mm high. Mind you, you would still need a few bays - running 24/7 - 1 bay only equals 700 vessels a year!
  8. Nice - still very with our move from a GBE to a T!
  9. What sort of boat speed did you have going in and out?
  10. q(J) = m x C x dT where q = energy in Joules, m mass of stuff being "heated" in grams, C = specific heat of stuff (j/g/deg.C) and dT = change in temperature. assume 750ml wine = 825g (sg ~1.1); glass bottle = 400g; C = 2.3 - 2.7 J/g/deg.C wine; = 0.5 - 0.9 J/g/deg. C glass therefore you need [825 x (2.3 : 2.7) x 13] + [400 x (0.5 : 0.9) x 13 = 27.3 - 33.6 kJ of energy plus losses (depends on your cooling method) someone else can finish this - got a meeting to get to
  11. popping out to Motuihe for ice-cream
  12. I reckon they've had to go to 75ft to make this concept work, any shorter and it would struggle - any longer and the budget would have been inter-galactic beams rather than just moon beams!
  13. The same way they wave canting keels on 120ft ocean going race boats around. The forces required are no different - just located differently I don't see this concept is particularly innovative at all if you think through it logically.
  14. they certainly help on my boat!
  15. Anyone got the oil on this? https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/property/98613673/council-intervention-forces-boating-club-to-freeze-sale-of-historic-building

    ST2000 Remotes

    I got one off him last year . . .
  17. it'll all be based around the coastal site www.coastalclassic.co.nz
  18. you can add MBIE reporting on building failures and Police investigations into the same to this list
  19. Fig. 2-5 - Adrenaline. Where did she finally end up after her experiment out of Westhaven?
  20. Take em in to YNZ. Then take em back to the shop
  21. posting in your sleep again Mark?!?
