  1. Correct on the first two. It's the male toilet seat at Paua World in Carterton.
  2. Have a guest where I was over Easter????
  3. it leaked......can't you see the holes.
  4. If you are ever at the pub at low tide, you can see where the props have gone thru the mud. I have heard that my tinnie made quite few of them many years ago, the boys wakeboarding.
  5. I can remember when sailing on a well known 42footer (43 years ago) putting it on the sand at Bucklands beach with a spinnaker pole as a strut either side of the boat to hold it upright. Clean the bottom at low tide, go to the pub until full tide to float it off and back to the mooring.
  6. You could have saved the cockpit if you opened the hatchway.
  7. Rurmour has it...... that a 90 ft canter will perform better than a 100 ft, if that's helps with the bank manager.
  8. Is that GR that sailed with the "Cowboys"?
  9. What 45 year old rum sloshing around in the bilge.
  10. Four days on the sundeck of a launch recording the finishing numbers at the Laser nationals in Napier.

    Hahaha Or just insane It must be the biggest topic for single boat. A very interest record of reconstruction and the thoughts of the owner. Well done Tim. But why so much over a GREEN TRICYCLE.
  17. Luck there was a lifeboat otherwise he could be one of the statics.
  18. Interesting propulsion setup. Pivoting electric motors. http://gcaptain.com/loss-electrical-pow ... dia/?37470
  19. Sat morning hooked the PT on the tow bar, went to the job to witness a crane test. Parked the car and boat in the car park, still at 6:00 pm. Missed the race day. Good breeze, great for the overweight skipper.
  20. get a dingy and clean one half of the bottom.
  21. Knot much in my archives, but this is a 950 been tested. There is a video around somewhere, I;ill get looking. On the bigger boats a crane attached to the keel to tip them over. It looks like the 950 is pulled over from the rig.
