  2. If he wants to guarantee the last part of record he should sail "the wrong way".
  3. maybe it would be cheaper to just shut down the CBD and move that to Whangarei . . . or the Mount . . . or Kawakawa!
  4. KM - reach to the left and tighten that lid on the hardener!
  5. makes you wonder if its a case of having the chartplotter zoomed out too far
  6. perhaps they outsourced that story offshore as a cost cutting execrise
  7. yeh - wondererd if there was a massive e/quake that we all missed!

  12. Will give it a go when the boat comes out

  14. Selleys do a product specifically for the job. That said I was told that the product I need to remove the silicone and PVC paint for the aqua coat is xylene which is a pretty nasty solvent.
  15. anyone had a look around the Tamaki. Caught sight of our boat in my rear view mirror when I left for work so I know she's where she's meant to be.
  16. they certainly are - a few of them around NZ
  17. Left ocean beach, Motuihe about 1515hrs on the nose for the channel with the wind from NE at 6-8kts. Throgh the channel we clocked 100deg. to port on STB tack and from deep running to on the nose to the SSW. PredictWind's observations showed we were smack in the middle of the squeeze. Gave up and motorsailed home.
  18. But what about that awesome full moon we usually get to enjoy!
  19. But what if there were no fine weekends in April?
