Im trying to work out how the mast got broken. That can only have happened by being pulled by the backstay or main halyard one would think. Neither of which vulnerable from the bow. Extra points for that
Ferry hits forestay, pulls mast forward, backstay keeps top of mast where it is, something has to give.
Maybe it was broken before and it was just a coincidence that he hit the ferry?

I have many times fished by heaving to, even when the wind is quite light, the yacht is much more stable and you drift much slower than with the sails down.

And this bit really makes it interesting:
"These regulations do not replace, but rather supplement the
requirements of Maritime New Zealand and the World Sailing and ORC
safety requirements for racing yachts."So why the hell have we got this whole book of rules when you actually have to follow the WS OSR any way?
When the NZ regs are different to the OSR which one takes precedent?
When something is in the OSR and not in the NZ regs do fail your inspection if you don't meet the OSR?
It would be quite a laugh if it weren't so serious, its about saving peoples lives.
At what point does MNZ need to step in and get YNZ to get their sh*t together?

Here is the OSR for Anchors, Cat 1,2,3. Nice and simple isn't it, lesson to be learned there YNZ
2 un-modified anchors that meet the anchor manufacturer’s recommendation
based on the boat’s dimensions with suitable combination of chain and rope,
ready for immediate assembly, and ready for deployment within 5 minutes
except that for a boat less than 8.5 m (28’) LH there shall be 1 anchor
meeting the same criteria.Remember this bit, need we say more?
The Maritime Transport Act 1994 states that the master of the vessel is
at all times responsible for the safety of the vessel, the safety of those
on board, discipline on board and for complying with all maritime
rules, regulations and bylaws. -

any for a Nanni 37.5 ?
If you mean Nanni 3.75HE then:
Oil Wix 51358
Fuel Wix 33149
BE CAREFUL I checked the specs for some other cross referenced filters for the Nanni and they were wrong, including having the wrong thread. I am using the ones I listed, much cheaper than Nanni.

I've been there.

Do you mean between the old store takeaways and the general store? And you can get ashore (and back again obviously)? Sounds like a good option.
Yes, it's basically the first part of the charter wharf before the gate.

main thing is being able to get alongside
There is a public dock on the inside of Opua main wharf, hardly ever see anyone on it, you can get quite a big yacht in there.

'd hope they are going to be re-amended before they are formally adopted in 9 days time...
It's taken 2 years to get it this far

I suspect the sail requirements are for new sails aren't they?
I would suspect that they actually made a mistake, the OSR regs. are a pretty good guide to what will be I hope.
The rules on sails were due a change as they didn't make sense and were poorly written. (as were a lot of other rules)
-
Looks like they have taken down the link, that could be a good thing.
Needs a massive revision to make it coherent, let alone sensible.
Hard to believe thats going to happen over Christmas.

Here's the link to the WS OSR,
https://www.sailing.org/documents/offshorespecialregs/index.php
Here's the bit about Mainsails (edited)
Cat 3 either a storm trysail as defined in OSR 4.26.2 d), or mainsail reefing to reduce
the luff by at least 40% (or rotating wing mast if suitable)
Cat 4 either mainsail reefing to reduce the luff by 12.5% or a heavy-weather jib as
defined in 4.26.2 a) (or heavy-weather sail in a boat with no forestay)NZ Version Cat 3 and 4
Mainsails shall have a set of reef points capable X X R
of reducing the effective luff by 50 percent.The rest of the WS regs are pretty easy to read and makes sense too.
How YNZ managed to take the well written document from WS and come up with what they have boggles the mind, could be an indication of their general operational ability?
The sooner they admit they fucked up and sort it out the better, otherwise pretty much every race you do the organiser needs to apply to YNZ for special dispensation to change the safety rules. Or face a tidalwave of protests against all those pesky little trailer sailors and sports boats?
WS expects you to have a toilet too.

Might be about now that immigration NZ might consider your plea to enter NZ from Fiji.

Why did I bother posting issues here:
New Safety Regs still refer to "Appendix M to the World Sailing Offshore Special Regulations (available from www.sailing.org)."
I still cant find appendix M,
The LPG rules still don't match the Gas Regulations.
How did everyone else do with their issues?

I put a ratchet block on my furling line, much easier to handle.

Well worth a read, big difference between boaters and non boaters northlanders and others.

You Aucklanders might want to keep a close eye on the next marine pathways stuff currently going on. Someone posted the other day about it, there is a big push to make all the rules the same from Tauranga North. The time table is pretty short and conviniently covers the summer holiday period.
They don't seem to think boaties are stake holders either, we used to be recreational boaties, marina users and mooring owners, we are now official known as exacerbaters, pretty predujicial I thought.
The desire is to make thing's a lot more strict and official. I will be submitting and I strongly encourage anyone with an opinion to do the same, at least start researching, thinking about it and talking to others.
-
So you think all those big container ships anchored up off Auckland and Whangarei have got nice clean hulls? Nothing in their "niche" areas.
Sounds like they might be there for a while, plenty of time to spread what they got.
Pretty sure the regional councils are pretending its not a problem and assuring themselves that MPI have got it all under control for them while eagerly awaiting BOOBOO's visit to the Bay.

If you are anchoring it's enough to clean it yourself, if you want to use a marina you will have to talk to them.
-
I wonder if boaties count as stake holders? Not yet by all accounts.
Hope yachting NZ sees this as number one priority to get onto on behalf of the 99.9999% of us that aren't going to bring Dave a Gold medal.

Yachts with movable ballast, in the form of a canting keel or water ballast, may move that ballast to increase or decrease weight, or to change trim or stability. This changes rule 51.
So are those pogo type keels canting fore and aft, movable ballast, or not? They still meet stability requirements "canted aft".
It tends to be the pt. stb. canting boats that get into trouble when the mechanism breaks or they fall off.
Altering trim by moving it back seems to be allowed.
Maybe rules got left behind by technological development again.

The results so far:
Classic council survey.
10 is winning, 8 votes, good enough to claim a mandate. "most people preferred...."
8 votes are for faster than the current limit, did they win too?
Every option has more people voting against it than for it.

You realise of course that most of the people with the issues you describe don't end up in prison anyway they just keep on living next door.
