Thanks all, some good info

Cheers lads... Few mates have the Yammy and love it and something as light as possible is what Im keen on. Ill go hunting Cheers

Hmm yea 50kg is probably a bridge to far. No wont be removing it. But Ive got really poxy wheels which love wet sand more than I, so weight is def a factor. Prob bit unfair to blame the wife... the kids are slowly packing on the pounds as well...... Tender is a monster Zodiac... the previous one and the 9.9 worked well, but it died of old age after a very long innings, new tender much heavier

HI can someone please talk me into or out of a Yammy 4 stroke 15hp.... leaning towards a Yammy 2 stroke 15....for a Zodiac tender. Wifes put on few pounds and the 9.9 just isnt doing it for me anymore Cheers

Cheek of it, bet it didnt have resource consent for ripping out the mangoves

Ive got a genny to test which North Sails promised would get me 10 knots on all points of sail, though they wouldnt put that in writing.... And I was giving the crew on Ronaza some lip last night about best dead bird seasoning, till I worked out its model is call Rapid 60...... We apprec everything you guys do Jon, so thanks for having us, in the prestart at least......

5 fkn knots,,,, what are you doing to me Jon Henry!?

The first question you should ask yourselves is, whose dinghy was he originally charged with stealing and why did he plead guilty to that.....

Their leadership is terrifyingly out of touch with the real world...its quite incredible how the pollies and heads of army/navy/maybe airforce can screw up every procurement they are tasked with doing. Though Im told this is a very good ship.... lets wait and see. To be fair some of the last things they have all bought look like they may actually be fit for purpose,...I guess when you have suck a low baseline, you can only go one way, or am I just kidding myself I read a great report of that battle we had in Afghanistan, where the LAV gun wouldn't go high enough.

Thanks guys Thinking about it, a laaser bung would prob do it too..Rubberbits going to send me some photos Thanks again

Ive no idea! I have heard of those but know not much about them other than someone made a plane or a gun with one....?

Hi All Attached is some snaps of a freezer plug I have that is dying a slow painful death. Its proving elusive to find a replacement. Tried usual spots, hardware stores and even a couple of RV shops including google. Anyone got any idea where I could find one? Cheers

Does this mean you have to register white spaces against a boat as well? Thats how I read that Hans?

Ye ole terracotta pot over the element works pretty mint... and kids downstairs appear to sleep bloody well too...

Bullet my arse... its hurts its face on a nail attacking a fender or something similar

Well the owner was adamant. There is now more than one isnt there? The bag was shredded

We headed to sea for the first 2.5 weeks for the lockdown and stayed at either end of Onetangi for the whole time. I spent several weeks prepping the boat just in case and took the view they had not said no to boating. The boat is designed for live aboard and had sailed here from France. Ironically, our sewage system at home failed on last day home and we had no wastewater. There were about a dozen boats to start, some headed to Barrier, others melted away as food and water ran out over the 20 days we were out The first 10 days were fine, you could walk on Onetangi beach and the loca

She destroyed a boat in a bag setup in Orakei last week for a launch. Boat owner was gutted

9 years ago, ahhh fark it, I still had kids... someone slow this bus down I want to get off. Id go for the one the others got done... stops an arms race and the design was solid and is proven. Manson Marine built them to Elliot spec.. Mike Rees cast the bulbs. I did Pork Chop as same time but was a different gig, had to move bulkheads etc..Lloyd Stevenson did the work and I couldnt have been happier with the work

Cut the arse out of a bucket

Always had a soft spot for this tug, shame to see

Modern Plastics, the fulla is awesome Was in town but out south I think

They cut it to show 20 knots good, 24 knots bad.....

I always thought you just drank bubbles.....

Gday team talk to Marine Electrics... they have or know a water maker fulla. Or take my other advice, rip it out and burn it dead.
