I actually wouldn’t mind except when you’re going for a walk to the shops or something you either have to lug your jackets with you or run the risk of having them nicked out of your dinghy

And if you stand up you can say that you’re stand up paddle boarding anyway 😁

So everyone has to wear a life jacket when going ashore in the dinghy now? https://www.1news.co.nz/2026/09/04/who-needs-to-wear-a-lifejacket-under-new-rules-this-summer/

No idea who the manufacturer is it’s 82mm outside diameter and tapered at each end. Pictures attached.

I’ve got one at 4.2m that I’m not using that’s been living in my garage. Could be persuaded to part with it for a decent offer.

Hi all, does anybody know where I can get some foam core offcuts? - I need several bits about 130mm wide and about 300mm long and don’t really want to buy a whole sheet.

@Island Time - Matt, do you stock these?

I’d be keen to have a look at the installation and have a chat about that. Whereabouts are you based? And are you wheel or tiller steer? cheers

does anyone have one of these installed in their boat? I’ve currently got a B&G hydraulic ram which makes the helm feel like you’re steering an old wooden scow. Without the ram on its fingertip light which is nice. The DD15 supposedly offers no resistance when it’s in standby mode which would be nice so wanting to know if anyone has experience with them.

Cheers

How many hours either side of high tide is the creek navigable?

How was it yesterday?

Are people out and about yet? Or waiting for this predicted blow to pass through? We’re hoping to get over to coromandel in the next couple of days. interested to hear here folks are.

Yeah if it’s the split type it’s about a five minute job.
