To me it looks like the thrust bearing is retained with the brass/bronze locknut and stepped shoulder behind the bearing, undo the lock nut then the bearing housing, the complete bearing SHOULD slide off the shaft, thats my engineering opinion if I was designing it.

In the mid 70's on a S&S 50 footer we were running down from the Moko's at night in a good NEly read to gybe around Flat Rock and the boat did a chinses gybe, we were pinned down. The crew were ready in their positions for the gybe with the new sheet grinder up to his neck in water using the lifelines as a ladder, I could could another crew with a knife attaching the boom preventer, yellin at the grinder to duck then a few seconds the main changed sides. That was my closest moment to a fatal accident I been to on a boat. Had to off load a crew member with a broken leg to a launch in the le

While NOR states: The Organising Authority (OA) is The Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club (RPAYC) in association with the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron (RNZYS).

Interesting I sailed the DF95 down at New Plymouth on Waitangi Day at the New Plymouth Radio Sailing Club on Lake Rotomoa, one section is closed for powerboats, jet skis etc, they have to take turns on the water in 10 minute slots and going anti clockwise. All the boats are moored, anchored up against the bank in one section of the shoreline and take off from there. Ok there is a bit of wake especially after a wakeboarding boat but we soon learnt to tack on to port and surf the waves into the top mark.

I think the Emergency services where a bit shell shock after their last attempt of prewarning the public.
