  6. A small leak has started from behind the pulley. What are the servicing/rebuild options? At last impeller service, I had to get cover plate machined (wear groves). Starting to think maybe a new one, what are options? Who is best supplier, are there replacement options?
  7. Is it just me or are there a lot of people sitting on the rails not wearing life jackets ?

    They’re going to have to raise minimum wind speed…too many races ‘end’ when one falls of the foils. If they are not going fast enough to talk/ gybe why bother.

    Stumbled onto coverage this morning on TV3. Some good background info about boats n crew, authorised spying etc. The actual sailing/racing was sub par, win start win race… at least graphics used knots.
  19. Hi team, I have a recollection of a yacht being dismasted in a Round White Island race, probably in the late 1990’s. Does anyone remember this ? Keen to understand the circumstances, especially if the volcano was involved. Thanks

  23. Really interesting to have followed this thread as today I have a letter from my gas supply company , the meter on my household supply needs to be replaced. All good, but then they go on to say the ‘full installation “ needs to pass a compliance test after they replace the meter. If it fails the system will need to be repaired to compliance! At least I now understand the implications….
  24. AIS track is curious…
  25. Awesome effort… https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/sport/2024/04/sailing-australian-lisa-blair-smashes-solo-speed-record-from-sydney-to-auckland.html Now looking at setting Round NZ record.
