  1. The NZTYA has a scheme with Crombie Lockwood in Tauranga. They maybe worthy of a call.
  2. I used UHMWPE, UHMW to replace a wooden base under a winch, should work well also under a deck to take up loads.
  3. Good questions I've been pondering a similar situation, looking at items like this; Renogy Battery Monitor or Mastervolt BattMan Lite Battery Meter. Any lessons or experience.....
  4. The NZ Trailer Yacht Assoc runs a scheme thru Crombie Lockdown in Tauranga. There maybe scope there...?
  5. Any chance these can be set up as a Zoom meeting, so those of us 300 km away can listen in ?
  6. If going for the 'soft floor', the big improvement is having a inflatable keel. Makes a big difference to the rowing abilities.
  7. Did I hear correctly: ETNZ boss= Dalton AC event boss= Dalton

    Sigrid 6

    I was thinking about the fit, if you have to get a couple of inches removed.

    Sigrid 6

    They will be very similar.... a couple of extra or missing inches could be very annoying in the long term.
  10. Note on Windyty you can select between 2 models when using a laptop or desktop. Doesn't appear you can on a tablet, unless the option is buried in a menu I haven't found.

    Jigsaw blades?

    Used to cut a insert in bulkhead for GPS chart plotter, maybe 6-8 mm thick.

    Check out the diamond coated ones ... http://www.linbide.co.nz/product.php?p=345 Turn the glass to butter.
  14. Hi I have a SD20, as I understand it the zinc ones should used in saltwater and a magnesium based one in fresh water. The boat is kept on a trailer and used mostly in Lake Rotoiti (freshwater with some geothermal influence). We also put her in the sea for a month or so. Similar for the motor ones Yanmar. Thanks

    Old life raft

    Having done several HUET courses and a offshore survival course I'd agree go have a play .... capsize it, see if you can get in it with some gear on ....
  18. iPad user, not noticed any issues.
  19. Did our boat 3 yrs ago, both sides.. not noticed anything as yet.
  20. The Farr 9.2, Noelex30 or the Farr940 version are worth a look. Easy to sail by 2 people. As many have already pointed out a well looked after boat is worth a 2nd look.
  21. WOW, hope this works as well as it looks. Refreshing....
