5 mins reading the YNZ regs provides the answer. Under Part III - it states "An Inspection Certificate is valid for one clearance only and expires at first port of call, and then reverts to a Category II for 2 years." - another example of ambiguity in this document.
-
Must be some other piece of legislation that applies as the YNZ guideline would seem worded sufficiently enough to be applied pragmatically. Either that or some beaurcrats being overtly officious. How old can a Cat 1 be valid for before you actually leave - 1 day, 10 days, 30 days 90 days, 2 years?

Nautical scrupulosity at it ugly best!

Pretty darn good so far! -
so they were just out for a bit of a sail - nice!
-
for the cyclists on the boat there's a difference between "never being in a yacht race before" and "never being in a boat before".

If I was a buyer I would find that very reassuring
-
Nice!
-
that's my approach as well.

ah - so you use the same donk to motor the dinghy out to the boat. How about ditching the dinghy altogether and use a paddleboard. 9/10 times that's what I do - sometimes with 10kg of gear in my backpack - and I just carry it from the house. That would require leaving the motor in the boat.

but you love us all just the same!

Geez - they think of everything! So it seems that keels are the real problem - I sense another public submission being formulated . .

Yeh I think they are just distributors. I've read through quite a bit tonight in the tech section and it does seem quite a good setup. Gibbo seems to know his stuff!

http://www.aasolar.co.nz/Votronic%20Battery%20Computer.html The operators manual can be downloaded at the bottom. doesn't look like it does it properly but calculates it base on the battery charging curves. Looks like they recommend and annual reset.

just sail off the mooring and stow the motor below?

you missed the other element - coin!

Fish (for a change!) my comment wasn't about keelers vs multis so much as varying draft by swinging a keel. But having read the description I see that it's actually a lifting swing keel - in which case yes - that's great! I guess I read swinging and thought canting - my bad
-
how does a swing keel give you access to water really any shallower?

Wavescreen? What wavescreen!?!

Is that the 18" high version. Do you think our milk bottles will fit into the 15" version? -
Fun race today. Com. and rear com. Stopped off for tea and rum in Wai-O-taiki bay proving that us multis can't have it all to ourselves. We flew one massive flag for a while. All good fun!
