  1. Nah 12v. I'm redoing it all when I get the mast down, and I'll conceal it better than this under new headlining panels. It's a rat's nest, atm. I'm also taking recommendations for bulk supply of marine tinned cable!
  2. Not on boat to take pics of bowsprit until weekend, but it's just stainless tubing, literally just extending under and beyond the pulpit, but extending approximately 4ft forward, with inadequate (i would say) standing rigging support. Previous owner left mooring line over, rather than under it, and you can guess what happened next...now I've got a bend to fix.

I have a pacific aerials 12v amplified one, boat is moored right opposite sky tower in northcote, and I regularly have trouble with reception (tv3 particularly). That's in the middle of Auckland, so can only get worse from there...usb dongle would be even more rubbish.
  5. Thanks. Was hoping for someone I didnt have to pay three hours just to get here and back! Any recommendations for anyone more local?
  6. Hi all. Anyone know of any riggers who can work in thames?
