    There's a range, upto 15kgs per clip If you used 4 then you would need a halyard to lift it http://www.fastmount.com/en/clip_system/standard%20range#

    Fast Mount

    Thanks Smithy just what I've been needing How many did you use per board ? And do they just release with a pull or do you have to use a tool ?

  8. What cutting cats ? Skinner's been working on this project for about a year now and and has been appointed boat captain I believe or something like that.
  9. The entrance to that proposal is in deep enough water and if they sifted the silt then used it for the hard areas they maybe able to use all the dredging onstite plus pay for the work with the brite yellow stuff that falls out the bottom ?

  13. In the pursuit of scientific advancement I will be sailing to Great Barrier Island on the 14th I will be checking on the tidal affects to fish and rum consumption We may need to send divers down to monitor the effect to crayfish and scallops I think the best way to get a comparison will be to stay there a week and keep an eye on the after effects also The things we have to do all in the name of science ? Maybe BP can monitor the effects in Fiji if he's still there.
  14. I like ice with my rum Or a blender, ice and a dinghy full of fruit. This is defiantly the best way.

    Best Bilge Pumps

    The most important part of any pump is the strainer, needs to have large surface area so it doesn't block too fast. Bilge Pumps are either submersibles or or diaphragm usually, both can't handle trash in them So any good quality brand, the larger the better, it's the type of equipment you hope to never use but if you do you want regret spending a bit extra on it. I also like one at least to have a long suction hose so you can go scavenging as the water never runs nicely to where you want it.
  16. The real problem is over 1,000,000 jafa's and not one could read smoke signals

    RACE TO VAVAU

    I T I'd hate to cast aspersions on places you've been and I've been to worse spots as well but we found it the worst place we stopped in a season from Central America to Fiji Compared to everywhere else it lacked pride in its environment imho But don't get me wrong I'll still stop there next time as it's a stepping off point for Vavau which is one of the nicest cruising areas in the pacific It's a bit like comparing Suva with the Lau, but maybe I just like the path less traveled.

    RACE TO VAVAU

    Sailed passed but yet to stop Great in a Cat as anchorages are shallow the drop off quickly, can be windy but that's not a bad thing in the tropics Also not much shelter if the weather turns but that's not very often but definitely on my list Tongatapu on the other hand is a Sh!t hole
  19. All I'll say is a 35kts wind gust is normal for a 20-25kt forcast Gusts to 150% plus peaks to 200% the forecast is predicting the average, I'd suggest you don't head down to the Southern Hemisphere then
