I’ve seen a Davidson 35 slide into a 60 foot tri , heaps of room too . Davidson got a bloody nose and tri got a big scratch .

Being country bumpkins we are going for the cheap accomodation at Wynyard quarter 😂🤣. But honestly , good on them for trying to breathe some extra life into yachting . Needing a PHRF cert will restrict the numbers and is a bit of a dumb move , or cunning plan to get the cert numbers up and more participation in PHRF only events ?

east cape and coromandel look like they may cop the brunt of it .

My tea leaves are showing SW going W then NW later in the week with the weather bomb staying well offshore

Dunno if metvuw has updated yet but windy is now showing it missing us by quite a bit . North of Auckland that is , bay of plenty/east cape might get a hosing .

I have one of those if you want it ? Funnily enough I got it off the owner before you of meanstreak . It was free with a furler so happy to pay it forward ….minus the furler 😂

+1 for Te Kouma and surrounds . Recently picked a boat up from there and was also blown away , we will be going cruising there when we get a caravan .

Yeah I’ve yet to see a golf course with a big galvanised gate and a keypad .

Interesting trip ! Commercial boat ?

I never had a problem until I got giardia . Don’t ever want to get a waterborne illness again

Slight drift but we treat our home tanks with this stuff and I would use it on a boat tank if I had one . I don’t like bleach and I don’t like waterborne gut bugs . Our water doesn’t smell because it’s rain water so it only goes through a .5 micron paper filter for bugs ….if I had a fusty boat tank a charcoal filter would sort out any flavours including chlorine/garden hose vinyl flavours from marina supply . https://www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/pour-n-go-water-tank-treatment-2-litre-clear/p/109787

The pakiri sand sucker could be repurposed for weed hoovering

Now write us a short story on how to finance a pogo 36 for beginners 😂 -
3x3 Summer Blast! - the new summer challenge for Richmond Yacht Club

Yeah great concept -
I think maybe that the people who have the sway in Auckland are wealthy enough that these issues don’t affect their yachting ? I suspect that people who could sway the swayers or make a noise about the lack of swaying make and supply stuff for the swayers boats or sail with them . The pointy end of the Auckland fleet is full of captains of industry who as a collective could hold a lot of sway …if they wanted to

Ironic that people with boats like the top one but bigger buy hardstands and close them .

NRC inviting yachties to their Office in Water street Whangarei
Ex Machina replied to Steve Pope's topic in MarineTalk
It’s not really an invasive species though ? No more than yellow/bluefin tuna , mahi mahi , sunfish , wahoo and the odd tiger shark that come down on the warm currents . the other buggers you have mentioned are “invasive” and more than likely hitched a lift in ballast water and on hulls -
great swimming there ….

It was the first “storm warning” I’ve seen issued in the marine forecast by metservice for this area . That was for colville to bream head , 40-50 knots gusting 60 and 50-60 gusting 70 at colville

At what point do you hop out of the car and get into the dinghy to start rowing ? And what system are you using to keep water out of the intake manifold -

Good point . I’m guessing they are keeping northland rate paying boaties in the loop first cause that’s who’s paying the bills
