  1. Not making any excuses here, but apart from the chip by the stainless fitting, it looks like there's voids under all the damage? Or is that just an optical illusion?

    Grief

    Sorry for your loss RossD, and I won't pretend to know what you're feeling, but I'll echo KmC's thoughts, and I'll go so far as to say get counselling even if you're convinced you don't need it. I can put you in touch with an amazing guy, pm me if you like?
  3. Eberspacher do one of those, called a Hydroplate. 5ltrs tank, but as ex E said, continuous flow. But then heating with engine would be a problem, so maybe no good for you. We're putting one in our 4WD campervan build.
  4. The thing is super reliable, uses almost no diesel, the fuel line looks like the inside of a ball point pen, about 2mm diameter. It heats the water cylinder in about 10 minutes, and can heat the whole boat in winter in about the same. Wouldn't build a boat without it.
  5. We have an Eberspacher hydronic, which heats a glycol/water mix (just like antifreeze in your car, but a bit thicker, maybe 50/50 mix?) This gets pumped around the boat, we have it going thru the hot water cylinder, and thru 3 heaters. 1 in each cabin, and a double size in the saloon. The heaters just run a little fan like a PC fan. If you get organised you can even bend up some stainless tube into a towel rail, and have a heated towel rail. The heaters look like this
  6. Possibly losing the 2.8 tonne wine cellar would achieve more? Very few yachts carry the equivalent of a Glengarry wine shop around with them?
  7. I understand 1 drifted/dragged aground, and the rescue attempt wasn't as successful as it could have been!

    Level 4 boredom. Next it'll be your lemon muffins or something. It's ok, we're all being kind & not mocking things that would usually attract a fair level of scorn,
  9. Level 4 projects. Carbon prop struts for Bad Kitty.

    Orientals. Same as a Siamese but without the colored points. 2 brothers. Troublemakers!

    Litter tray in the shower. They're fine. Lot cleaner than those Piedy guys.

    ANTIFOUL

    Good feedback BP, sounds pretty appealing!
  13. Good questions the Psyche. Personally, and professionally, we're working on the assumption that most of the world population will contract Delta, or some other variant. NZ included. If not this year then next, when we eventually have to rejoin the world. Plan on seeing more focus on vaccinated vs unvaccinated and various controls related to that?
  14. Agree, a project with a lot of people involved, but driven by one incredibly generous family.
  15. As a diver that's had more than their fair share of seafood over the last 50 years this makes me sad, but it's a reality that we can't keep going like this. With more & more people in NZ, and more fishing & diving pressure, much more capable boats that are the most affordable ever, something has to change. My home waters, the Hauraki Gulf, desperately need a break from the constant take.
  16. Yep we'd be right into this, adopt a project! What are some ideas? I like that mussel project, but maybe something more visible, an Island thing maybe? Revive Our Gulf
  17. Yep between Covid 19 & Starlink it may never look the same again!
  18. Yep and on our cat either the rig falling over or the boat tipping over is kind of coin toss once the load gets to that point. Maybe why the resident engineer gets a bit edgy when half the rudder is out of the water?
  19. Well hopefully the bondage & whips guy will jump in here, who specialises in string, but for me there's a bit difference between 2010 & 2016. One is fine, the other would have a question mark over it for me?
  20. If you keep attacking people, then don't be surprised when they push back. Actions have consequences. Welcome to the world.
  21. And anyone that is even remotely good, is busy & no cheaper than NZ
  22. Having done a lot of marine work in Fiji, I wouldn't even contemplate getting any finishing work done there. If something was so urgent that it was needed to prevent sinking, then maybe, but anything else,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,?
  23. So the estimated weight was a bit out then?
  24. I'd be surprised if anyone is still voting National? But that doesn't change the facts that the Waiheke anti marina group have exhausted every legitimate avenue to stop the Marina, and now will resort to more illegal bullshit to try & force their opinion on everyone else. After getting a free pass on a massive legal bill, that they had no way of paying? WTF has that got to do with National or Labour?
