Hopefully they will send you a new reg

At a guess I’d say your drill isn’t turning fast enough Try changing speed on drill and see if volts change

look at the unlockable saloon doors and the large cutout on side deck ?

Ignore the stuff you done have like AIS/ MMSI

Don’t know of any original inspectors being signed up by MNZ, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t I do know only about half the inspectors have signed with YNZ, however the ones in the likes of the bay only really did Cat 1’s so weren’t interested in the others I've got a few starting to came through for Cat 2 and 3 but haven’t done any yet

Only a couple missed reso, but a couple also tried finishing south of committee boat and another tried finishing at Westhaven 🥺

Yep we thought long and hard about moving the finish to northern leading between the short two and long course But why spoil your fun plus waiting for a Raven 26 to finish 3 hours after the multi’s meant we had to run two lines If you kept west of a line from Durville toLittle Barrier you had wind all day, just ask the guys on the short course however look at this pic of last 3 boats going around eastern mark

Forecasts looks mint for tomorrow See you all on the start line, and hopefully at the finish as well

Report any lights not working as Hazards to Navigation as per below (f we don’t report things nor working then we become part of the problem

The inspectors are being shafted also, I charged (my fee) $200 for Cat 3 and $235 for cat 1 &2 I’ll now get paid by YNZ and Cat 3 is $150 less PAYE so let’s call it half as much give or take and as a PAYE employee, I’ll not be able to claim my travel against my tax either as I was able before as a contractor Only half (approximately) the inspectors have re signed up.

That’s what happens when you buy a French boat

Got some great shots of committee boat though

The improvements seem to be working

Yes that’s what someone else has said, haven’t seen the paperwork yet but I’ll be getting my employment consultant (offshore crew) to give it the once over.

We’ve ( current YNZ inspectors ) have been asked to apply as casual employees
