Then donate it to your yacht clubs Heath and Safety Officer as a training aid.

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 ....

iPad user, not noticed any issues.

Did our boat 3 yrs ago, both sides.. not noticed anything as yet.

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.

WOW, hope this works as well as it looks. Refreshing....

Gosh is chalk like cheese, after been trailer yachts the differences kick in.
The C7 has a deep Skeg, with the pivoting centreboard intruding the length of the main salon. While the N25 has a vertical dagger board set forward giving an 'open' salon area.
There is also a difference in the static height in the cabin due to the raised floor in the C7 compared to the N25.
Visit a trailer yacht club or compound and step from one to the other.

Came as a set from 'mother' about four years ago, obviously found online somewhere. She is enroute to Tasmania.... I'll ask but suspect she will have no idea.

Thanks guys, I would like to think I'll not be replacing it, so will bias to the 4000, 4200, just in case.

Jonty Farmer had a 2nd and 3rd many years ago.

Hi
Fibreglass hull replacing a thru hull transducer; the question is what sealant to use or maybe more importantly what not to use.
Thanks

So the metservice website has changed for the worse, it's not just me being a grumpy old man?

As trailer yacht races go , that one is often epic.

The BOP Regional Council have a wave bouy out off the coast. It records a lot of variables, one is the period. Check it out as the significant period has ranged 3-11sec over the last month, mean period 3-8 sec and height around 3m and a max of 8m etc.

Considering its fixed these are large variations in water behaviour .......

Been long enough to go from the boat, around something secure and back to the boat really helps.
Yes to floating also ... a must

That's a very good question.
Not sure on the full or accepted definitions, ,but the usually interpretation taken around here is something like this:
Direct supervision of a club: This is where the racing is run from an onshore tower or patrol boat on the start/finish line. The race stays essentially within sight of race management.
Substantially enclosed water: A lake, or sailing area sheltered from open ocean (Tamaki Straight), harbors like Tauranga etc
Other craft: usually taken as other race boats that could assist (may extend in busy areas to all other craft ?)
Be interesting if there other interpretations ....

Ok I'm seeing a theme developing here, along the same theme I was thinking ... Thanks Tazzy, White Pointer, Vorpal

Hi
I currently have the 'standard' pressed grommet in the main, that is looped over the horn/J hook on the gooseneck when putting in a reef. Often this not the easiest of task shorthanded etc.
The webbing strap with rings appears to be a nice solution. Also useful for pulling sail down etc
Questions:
How long should the strap be ?
Could shackles be used in place of ring (saves taking sail off and transporting to sail maker) if a webbing strap is made.
Are there other options,I'm thinking maybe a rope/soft shackle ?
Thanks in advance for feed back
