    LPG Solenoid and Switch

    in TechTalk

    Posted

    Only thing I'd suggest is a seperate switch and sniffer units

    As been on a boat with a dodgy sniffer which then stopped the solenoid

    We ended up having to re plumb to bypass it

    Bit more expensive but in reality you want the sniffer to work like a smoke alarm, doesn't put the fire out but tells you that there's a problem

    What is the Ron Given design that you see sailing out of Kawakawa, Joker ?  

     I don't know size but they're going to go ok I would have thought , always seem to when you see em out.

    Joker

    There's a 6.7 that's too small for a family of 4 but they sail really well.

    And a 8.2 that would be ideal as they are water ballasted so light to tow but twice your budget is what's being asked and more

    Don't be afraid to offer 25% less than asking price, most TY are hard to sell and getting quite old

    You should settle between 10 to 15% under asking price or your wife will fall in love with one and you will just buy it.

    Yeh that is a cool looking boat, appears to be a lot sportier. Bit out of my price range unfortunately......

    Are you familiar with Trojans? What's the common opinions on them?

    Trojans are similar if not slightly slower than a Noelex 25 but with a higher SRI (self righting index)

    Very family friendly as far as TY go

    If you want performance then get a Ross 780

    Here's something to use as a base for comparison http://www.nztya.nz/uploads/113077/files/Rating_Current_from_August_2016_-_Listed_by_Rating.pdf

    Sounds like your on the right track Fish but of its still there with the newly serviced prop then get a cup half fill it with water and move it along the drive chain sitting on the hull, where the water wants to jump out the most will tell you where the problem is.

    Or maybe it's been there all along and now you can hear it.

    You should get 10% less revs at full throttle underway than at full revs neutral if your props sized correctly i.e. if your getting 3000 underway you should get 3300 in neutral.

    Prop Shaft Antifoul?

    Fish, I've used "CRC Soft Seal" for this type of thing before

    Cheap and easy to apply, just clean it off and spray three or more coats over a couple of hours while your waiting for the tide.

    Had it last a year or more on the shaft but only about 6 months on the blades as they have much more water over them.

    Anyone else used it ?

    Auckland Council - through AT - through Harbourmasters office also have a bylaw covering this.  You would only come under YNZ if you a) race or B) go offshore.

     

    Hopefully their consistent!

    Doing the cruising Div in the Coastal with family and going offshore agains as soon as I sort work out

     

    Will sus the harbourmaster etc, funny how you can sail 15000nm over halfway around the world and now you want to do something in your own country you now have to jump through hoops.

    Nope, YNZ requires name and numbers on the Hull.

    All I can find in the safety regs is must be at least 50mm in height preferably 100mm,

    Thinking name on stern and sail numbers on each side of bow plus name on boom. 

     

    Have Signcorp coming to look at boat tomorrow will try Stanley Signs if need a second option

    Dan from Boat Coat is overseas at present, thanks Herdy

    Seaworthiness

    The C&C 34 is the most seaworthy as per your post, though they are getting old.

    But, for single handed you will struggle to find anything easier to sail than the Wright and it's much newer. Not sure about pointing ability though but looks nicely built.

    Track down Alan Wright and have a chat, he lives in Whangapouroa (sp), he's very approachable

    I'm lifting Ma'ara in a few weeks to do the antifoul and wanting to replace the stripe above the waterline, it was damaged by the anchor chain up in the Med before we bought her.

    Also want to redo the name etc plus we need sail numbers on the hull.

    Who can you recommend team ?

    Boat will be at Pier 21.

    Also thinking of putting name on both sides of the boom as its a leisure Furl boom and then only having the name on the stern, does this comply with YNZ requirements ?
