Hey BK, sorry for the delay getting back to you. I will grab it if it's still available.
Matt P (IT) may have some of the rest of what came off Bad Kitty, a bottle of Diplomatico would probably get it out of his garage?
He was selling it off, but if there's anything still there I imagine he'd like the space back?

I don't have the cover, can you separate them?
Hi BP, if BooBoo can use the whole thing I'll send it there?
If not it's yours, a cover with a spare head unit!

If its compatable with my raymarine ST60 gear then I will take it. I will do some research.
It was on BK with ST60, so should be good?

Hi BK - any progress? Cheers
Yep, progressed to a few days out on the water! Give me a day or two, but we're on track,

Update. might be able to get 60% off if I sell them all, 7 available less the 3 spoken for.
So if you keen they may get to $800,
If you've committed at $1000 & we get them all done you'll get the new low price. As said, I don't want to make anything, this is a bonus for all the good crew groupies!
Don't pussy foot around, Veladare churns thru that in Pinot in a good weekend!

Excuse my ignorance but would this do data? As in pulling down weather to a laptop etc??
Yes I think this model can usb to a laptop for weather gribs etc. Island Time is the geek that will sort mine out. We've used SSB, Iridium, Iridium Go, and now we'll use this.
I didn't particularly like the Go, found the connection to devices more finicky than a straight Iridium phone, but then some people love them. I have an Iridium Go that'll be for sale when I get round to it if anyone is keen?

Hi, Bad Kitty
I would be interested in one of the Satphones. Maybe text me to establish contact?

Just gathering numbers, talk soon, BK

I've got a Raymarine ST8002 auto pilot controller that's been sitting in my office since we fitted B & G gear a few years ago.
Good condition, it was in the saloon so not weather beaten.
Free to a good home if you're running Raymarine gear from that era.
Pick up Castor Bay

Bk, definitely its a nice to have item and sounds like a good deal, whats the prepay options in NZ?
Sorry I meant to include a link, here's the phone;
Iridium Extreme® Satellite Phone - Ready for harsh Australian conditions. (pivotel.com.au)
And here's the plans, these all have a sim card from Pivotel, which they may be able to reconnect. You'd need to check with them.
We use Pivotel (used to be called Wright Sat Comms) and they are great to deal with.
Iridium Call Rates, Plans, Special Calls, Value added services (pivotel.com.au)

We have a few Iridium Extreme sat phones now surplus from a big job.
About 18 months old, very light use, good condition.
Still got the boxes, manuals, accessories.
These are $1995 retail, I can probably get them for $1000 each.
If you're interested let me know & I'll try & sort a deal out with the Production Company.
Please don't bother making stupid offers, I think this is a good deal for Crew members, & I'm not making any money on it.
About 6 available at last count. Pic is of my one, they are all the same.
Thanks,

Now that the topic has become about that most vital of sailing liquids, I have this year discovered that this is my new gold standard for Firefly’s medical cabinet.
Absolutely Dr Watson, we've done extensive market research on rum, and that's been the favorite for about 15 years now.

Who here cuts through the gap between Cape Brett and Piercy Island...
Sailing, racing, pretty much never.
Sightseeing, fishing, diving all the time.
It's a great place to park up if you're sailing!

This thread pushed me as far as looking at the tables to see what size excel for BP.
Very confusing as I don't fit anywhere.
Not the first time you've heard that BP!
-
Plus one for the Sarca Excel, but as suggested see what fits the bow fairlead also. We changed from a Rocna to the Excel, as the roll bar was less than ideal.
But forget the plough, no matter what chain you have!
But any of the 3 you've shortlisted are great.

So at what stage do we let it spread, lock up the old and overweight people, accept it as the flu, and move on?
I am forever frustrated that we are still going for elimination when the boat sailed the minute it jumped China and landed in Italy
All current health measures are just to slow the inevitable spread, & try to stop the overloading and collapse of the health system.
If you have any surgery or similar booked in Dec I'd be making other plans!

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?

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?

You can also set up a diesel heater like a califont, so you get near-instant hot water, and no need for hot water cylinder.
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.

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.
-
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

We've never eradicated a marine pest once it's been introduced.
That doesn't stop the crayon eaters in Wgtn spending eye watering amounts of money trying, like the tens of millions spend trying to kill off Undaria in the Chatam's where it was on the hull of a boat that sank.
Still there, plus all around the place now.
