    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.
  7. 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

  10. As seen Rotorua.
  11. 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….
  12. AIS track is curious…
  13. 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.
  14. Samassaan resting in Cherry Bay Lake Rotoiti….last 3days

  16. There was a bit more to it than that…becoming a complex story. For me I learnt more about the issues…

    Run a tape measure over it….
  18. Just checking in on the current best practice for washboards . Currently have 2, looking to go to 3 as part of the process. Currently have ply, considering the acrylics for the new ones. What’s the good, bad an ugly out there ?
  19. Hi I need to adjust some rig tension. They are Graham screws and on my first attempt they felt very very tight.I was able to loosen for-stay, so the rig tension was relaxed. Do I just carry on with force to break the lock/binding or fill with WD40 for a couple of weeks an try again? Thanks for ideas.
  20. Have a look here https://www.sailbrokers.co.nz/

  22. GeoNet has real-time data for Auckland and Great Barrier (plus about 16 other sites) as part of the coastal tsunami network. The data is only up dated every 15 seconds. https://tilde.geonet.org.nz/ui/data-exploration
  23. Don’t over look getting a trailer yacht to learn on…a lot cheaper option for a first boat. Can sail the harbour or nearby Rotorua Lakes. Keep it simple when starting out….
  24. No they anchor offshore an we send divers out to clean them! wonder where the debris goes….?
  25. That’s was all…just boat name. You could try contacting YNZ there maybe more info.
