looks like more practice races monday, tuesday...but not much information on when and where yet
A compromise has clearly been reached and the Herald understands all four teams will have practice races on Monday and Tuesday before the challengers' boats are officially measured on Wednesday ahead of the Prada Cup opening round robin starting on Friday.

A - it'll be ready hard to cut the shaft off
B - it may be very difficult to seat in a small 3 jaw chuck, you "might" get a better grasp with a larger chuck and/or wrapping the end with some shim stock
....
however if you're drilling to drill in a confined space this is what you really need, an air-drill with right-angle head and compressor?
-
a bit like the stereo speakers of old
most people simply buy the biggest 'number' ....so check it's actually continuous
in this case aussie jaycar list this 1500w inverter as continuous
https://www.jaycar.com.au/1500-watt-12vdc-to-230vac-pure-sine-wave-inverter/p/MI5708
note the comment on the input, which can be seen between the fans at back
" Input connection: Heavy duty screw terminals"
unfortunately jaycar nz's 1500watt inverter doesn't list input, even in the manual, or have any pics of the back, but you can assume screw terminals

it's off!

Lewis said he did not want to speculate on the cause of the crash, but acknowledged there had been a "clear navigational error".

presumably "the landing" at okahu bay , auckland could also haul it with their travel lift

that was very informative!
have been aware of them and am possibly interested in the mooted non-battery version
but hadn't realised they had moved beyond vaporware

the race director Iain Murray might be able to offer them a reprieve - with additional practice days if the harbourmaster and all teams can agree.
"I would like to be out there on some more days, clearly there aren't any days on the schedule at the moment," Murray said
"The days that I had pencilled into my diary were the 7th, 8th, 11th and 12th [of January] as maybe days that it might be possible but there is a lot of agreement needed on that."
...
Racing takes a break until 15 January when the three challengers will be back competing for the Prada Cup to win the right to race Team New Zealand for the America's Cup in March.

yes, it's hard to go back to tv after you've gotten used to; watching when you want, hopping around the video, skipping the bits YOU think are boring and replaying the ones YOU think are interesting

-
back with C today
There was speculation earlier this morning that the light conditions would force organisers to shift racing to the less fan-friendly course A, however the same course as the opening two days of racing, C, will again be employed today.
-
they did pretty well today
spending less time bogged in displacement mode than etnz anyway
-
yeah, at least 1 of the small car parks on north head has been turned into bicycle only parking
looked like they may have put up some triathlon? bike stands
-

it looks like the public's need-to-know for the daily course has been pushed out to 10.30am on the day

deano sailed a near perfect race -1? error
but etnz seem to have a slightly faster boat - let down by 5? errors
at this 1st day of official racing
i think i'd rather have the faster boat
...
just watched the video and it seems patriot was faster both up and down, but etnz kept catching up after their f$%^ups
so they must have been sailing better angles
-
Fantastic day up here on north head.....weather perfect, tons of people but still place to sit with uninterrupted views....sir Ben had a major moment and almost tipped the boat over after a horrible gybe...but after a minute they got back going

we watched a volvo start from the water
got there early and got a good spot right up against the SPECTATOR boundary
just before start, a towering commercial gin-palace with paying guests anchored right in front of us on the inner VIP boundary
council desperate to milk this for all they can
don't expect much for free
-
have heard it's course C today, but that won't be confirmed publicly til 10am
which means north head would be ideal
IF, you can get to devonport
presumably they want people to take the ferry and walk to north head
takapuna beach grandstand now advertising to watch race and have big screen for close-ups
-
finally have found something "officialish" about race course selection
The racecourse will be selected on race days by 10:00am.
will be interesting to see if that matches the unofficial info picked up yesterday
10mm drill bit too long

what are you trying to cut through and how thick?
the air tools spin very fast but you often can't use the speed in deep frp as the resin melts
most electric drills are variable speed now, you'll know when the little gearbox in the right angle is unhappy then you back off on the drill trigger a bit
