I was on a pretty new PCC late last year, was shocked to see that it only had one engine... and also how small it was.

That will come off his total

Happy Friday BK!

Yea mate got 15 2 stroke from Fishing Boats NZ over on the shore... and was happy with the deal. They were really good to deal with as well and gave some good advice on few other questions I had.

Id recommend them and use them again no issue

[Mooring Required In Russell for Coastal Classic]

[Yammy 15]

Thanks all, some good info

[Yammy 15]

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

[Yammy 15]

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

[SSANZ 2020 Lewmar Triple Series]

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......

[SSANZ 2020 Lewmar Triple Series]

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

[The Sounds Murders back in the News]

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

[NZ Navy gets its biggest ship ever - it's a Hyundai!]

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. The solider said words to the effect they had better results chucking rocks at the taliban than shooting with the steryr rifle.

 

I can think of the following which have been a not fit for purpose for all to see except those with the cheque book:

Steryr Aug rifle

Pistols

Czech ammo that had to be binned

Radios

Lav

That butt ugly thing that replaced the Unimog

Sir Charles Upham

Inshore patrol boats

Seasprite choppers

The new Air force chopper that a guy in full kit cant get out the door of and doesnt fit in a herc

 

Good purchases

New rifle AR15 variant?

Supply ship

New Hercs

Posideon, though I wonder if being a jet they have restricted its operational ability

 

Happy to be corrected on any of this....

 

[Freezer Plug]

Thanks guys

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

 

Thanks again

[Freezer Plug]

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....?

[Freezer Plug]

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

[And so it goes on]

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...

That couldn't have been her. She has been in whangarei until recently and then hanging around Whangaparoa. There have been no sightings of her near the city. 

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