Hard to say, & may never know. It looks like the deck under the main beam may have buckled?
Was the rig tension much higher than before the refit?
Also there is no continuity in a lot of the laminate at the break, almost looks like the main hull was built in 2 sections & joined at that point?
Very sad, obviously a lot of work has gone in there in there since she arrived in country. As Scottie says though, it's not too bad to repair, best of luck boys, I'll try & get a bottle of Mt Gay down there once you get back into it!
Moral Support that is!

What a balls up!
Gotta feel for athletes that spent years windsurfing, started kiting recently after the decision to have kiting at Rio, now are back to windsurfing.

Looks like it needed the removed daggerboard and case for strength in that area.
Doesn't look like that at all actually.
Have you looked at it?

The section next door to the Milford site is now sold. Be a couple of crappy new townhouses there before you know it!
The loss of the Takapuna Campground is a tragedy, that place is a real asset to the City.

I'm with you motorbike, & I live down there!
It's a waste of money, 1/2 the people that walk there are trying to get exercise anyway so we'd be doing them a favour making them walk round the Marina.
-
I disagree with the marine centre at Taka entirely. I reckon the motorcamp there is a gem. It is classic Kiwiana and loved by all. The Taka boating club has heaps of space and there is enough space there for massive regattas. Don't bother with it..

We use Micron 66 and it's been great. Call Akzo Nobel & talk to a technical rep and they will help sort you out.
Our's has been on for 2 years now, done about 5000 miles and been cleaned with those green pot scrubber things and it's still good. We're out at the moment, was going to redo the anti foul and their rep saw it and said just touch up where we've fitted the new rudders tubes and keep sailing.
Wouldn't use anything else, but it costs a bit extra to start.

Hey Wheels, you've fallen behind in the fantasy! The passport is not for getting the yacht, it's for stop 2, somewhere in the tropics.
If you are going to be part of the crew you need to keep up!

Cheap rum, dark dusky women, plenty of fish and fresh seafood, good music, good company. I'm not asking too much am I?
Well it's funny, because all the places I've been with palm trees, warm water and trade winds have "Cheap rum, dark dusky women, plenty of fish and fresh seafood, good music, good company"
Some technical brainy person may be able to work out the correlation, me, I just enjoy it!
-
Too true AC, some basic requirements;
Water 25 degrees or more
Trade winds, 15-25 knots
Palm trees
Anything else?

Yeh Tim How Dum " One Club (ring) to rule them all, one Club (ring) to bind them" Oh sorry wrong fantasy my Precious...
Come on guys how hard would it be for the clubs to work together a little better. Perhaps the time has come for the Greater metropolitan club of Auckland to be born. With the reduction of membership and the loss of some of the old clubs do we really need so many clubs in Auckland?
H28 club could've rolled into a tramping club, chess club and a "watching the grass grow club". Oh yeah also the used to be a sailor club too!
Soon Pedro, we'll sail & drink!

And kiting tucked in behind Martello, before the carnage began on Pulse, followed by the crawl over to Crowded House to finish off!

Lazy motor home on monday
-
Oil spots float up to the surface there continuously, be pretty interesting to know how much is still in there?
Keith Gordon, the ROV operator in that story has raised it with MNZ, but I bet you $10 nothing happens till a great big slick hits the coast somewhere!
-
WOW !
Jason Sager has just finished the antifouling.
He used Micron 66 and gave the Middle hull an extra lick as well as two coats on the amas.
Jason, Thank you very much ! You are a true Multihull legend (talking about your Antifoul Painting here, Jase, not your sailing ability!)
Can someone give me Jasons' contact details please?
Just remember Nate he doesn't do scratch, only coloring in!

Try these guys, they do ours & have been fine.
Rates vary depending on where you are going, we have our plan on a NZ & Aus plan most of the year then change to a different plan for winter in the Islands. If you make calls outside the plan area you get raped!

Aaaaaaaaaaarh, agonising boom jealousy strikes deep into the guts!

And thanks for the thread lend paultux

oh god - not the apple vs pc debate. Those battle lines are almost as bad as the multi vs leadswinger debate! There's always an iPad if you can live with the power demand and accuracy!
Hey ScottiE, it's the ipad that started it all really. Everything we have is pc based, then got an ipad and "omg the ease with which it all happens now"
But they are a bit limited for offshore, predict wind, sat downloads etc so I was considering an apple laptop for that. Sounds like I'll have to keep a pc laptop,
-
Sorry for the hijack paultux but while you guys are here:
Anyone running any of this on Apple?

So, time to tell you what the mystery trimaran is.
She was built for the 1988 single-handed transatlantic race as "Spirit of Apricot" for Tony Bullimore. She was designed by Martyn Smith and Barry Noble.
The photos were shot in the harbor of Waxholm just east of Stockholm.
/Martin
Well that's not a fair quiz. If you are going to have these sorts of competitions then it has to be a question that can be answered.
It's just not possible to recognise a Bullimore boat when the photo is showing it up the wrong way.
-
What a load of sh*t.
Your post? Or are you interested in elaborating on some other aspect of the thread you disagree with?

Hey tim
you could have saved yourself a whole lot of bother by building symetrical bulkheads and making a proa. Acorrding to a proa builders you would have had your boat built and be sailing this weekend. Not only that you would take line and handicap in your 400 million knot boat
And it would be so light you could just carry it down the ramp yourself & chuck it in the water. Save crane costs.

Anyone else reading these?
Absolutely loving it, keep it up Jill & Bruce!

That's tough, Iridium is bloody slow with data.
Worth talking to Predict Wind, they have some new gear for receiving sat weather & I believe the price has comedown a lot over the last year or so.
