  1. And 1200 chairman mao cap wearers that aren’t Chinese
  2. “Pro lan” should be available at Kamo and Southend farmlands or ullrich aluminium and anzor fasteners
  3. I wrecked the balls in my traveller car with Sailkote . It makes them skid on the track rather than roll which gives them flat spots
  4. http://crew.org.nz/forum/index.php/topic/15644-elliott-1050-kick-is-coming-home-to-nz/?hl=elliott+1050 This one
  5. Didn’t kickass bring an NZ built E1050 in last year and give a rundown on the process here somewhere ?
  6. Those modern steam shovels are computerised to the hilt so incredibly complex to fix after a dunking I would fink
  7. Bloody impressive effort and we watched you overtake us about 5 miles after Rodney not knowing you were boat hooking it .
  8. Bit of a habit they’ve got there . They drowned their caterpillar traxcavator a few years back hauling a boat out
  9. https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/116638559/why-is-auckland-council-so-eager-to-sell-prime-waterfront-real-estate-to-a-millionaire-developer
  10. Yeah that’s the bugger ! He must have a few boats
  11. Not drawing any parallels here doc but you have reminded me of a boat I spotted in France recently . It was the first boat with black sails I had spotted out of the 100s of benes , jonnos , elans etc . I grabbed the telescope and glassed it over and noted it was a new J boat of fortyish something feet . It’s was being sailed solo by a gent in linen shirt and pants and what my son called “slippers” which seem to be popular over there with gents in moneyed circles . I sh*t you not it could’ve been Jonny Depp for all I know , filming some after shave ad cutting a dash through all the 4 k
  12. Thanks for that link IT friggin difficult to find a wide brim in NZ that doesn’t go curly above 10 knots
  13. Midday Friday but it changes every couple of hours...yesterday it was showing 30 knots W
  14. Yeah once its dialed in should be pretty close to CU in speed . Got a Whopper handicap !
  15. So um would you need 6 of these to get 12v to an inverter ?
  16. Yeah sorry my mistake they are 2v
  17. Solar king sells those and hitek seems to as well . Solar king doesn’t have listed prices but states they are typically 50-55 cents per amp hour of storage capacity which I think would be $550 for 1000ah ? Hitek sells 48v 400ah for $7,400 each ! . The trademe battery is 80v 1000ah so some big variations in price
  18. It’s bloody grants fault ! Not a conspiracy at all . Sealink had to move to make way for AC bases . Shame they didn’t use Bayswater marina or the navy base or orakei marina or anywhere else equally unsuitable
  19. Mark do you know if Niksen is a 2nd hand import ? Have noticed that they come from the factory with very basic sails and no trailer . 2nd hand ones in Oz are asking 20k more than the new price which is pretty good considering they are fully sorted , extensive sail wardrobes , trailer , electronics etc
  20. My dreamboat along with the beneteau/seascape 27 . Think there’s another FE28 in Auckland that did the triple series ?
  21. There are quite a few other articles with a little more info
  22. I asked him awhile back but I think there was a black leather road trip the same weekend or maybe a Cessna flocking event
