Those look really good. I am not sure about carbon, probably a glass one would be fine as it is only for a Davidson 29. I will take photos and measurements of my existing one. Thankyou for all the good information.

Has anyone here made or have seen a composite propeller shaft strut?
My old stainless one is failing. Bronze ones seem really heavy. I was thinking one made with g10 possibly.

It is not listed that I know of but every boat is for sale.

That’s a shame , was it in the pac cup or transpac at the time ? . I think it was built for a kiwi in San Fran ? I distinctly remember seeing some photos of the “sea trial” which was a cruising holiday . My school mate took some photos of Bruce on the helm coming back from BOI , big grin on his face with the Dinghy out the back just about airborne going down the face of a bloody decent swell . They had a good north east breeze and hooned down the coast back to Auckland
She was competing in the Hawaii to Hiroshima Race under Japanese ownership. I can't remember what year that was.

The old Uptown Girl was lost on Pearl and Hermes reef many years ago.
-
That's the one I saw. I have tried googling every name possible but no luck yet.

I have the spinlock extension but this one I saw on the JPK 1080 was an actual handle attached to the tiller and adjustable and removable. It looked to be designed for short handed racing.
-
Has anyone seen the tiller handles they are using on the euro jpk 1080.They seem to be a separate product from the tiller and adjustable side to side. Great looking piece of equipment.

Three multis got taken out by collisions with logs this year.

Thanks for the good information. Soda blasting might just be the trick and that Nyalic is available here so I am going to try it.

I am going to sand off the paint on my mast and just go bare alloy. I am looking for waxing or other easy polishing ideas.
-
Aluminium mast.

Dogs should be allowed ashore if they are on a leash. I take my dog everywhere on the boat. Usually all the parks have walking trails.

I remember seeing Whale Rock breaking in a big swell decades ago.

You might see my brothers new to him Roger Hill 40 Harmony.
He keeps it in Whangarei. Nice boat.

What do the BOI bottom police do about the big cruise ships that come in there?
-
Thankyou everyone for all the great information. Is that a picture of Positive Touch in the latest RNZYS Breeze doing a Rum Race? Cheers, Tom Andrewes.

I am looking for any information on this design. My son has just purchased one that is in the Netherlands and was supposedly built in England. Thanks for your time.
-
I have mine underneath the propane locker and close to where the propane line attaches to the stove.

You are lucky to be down there. Still snowing up here.

Is the Davidson 42 Outlaw still in Auckland. That was a beautifully built boat.
-
I make the painter about a dinghy length but still have to shorten it before reversing.
-
The Davidson 30 would be a great boat for Auckland. It does need a new keel and rudder though.
Kevin Dibley has done new keel and rudder designs for my 29 so he would be well worth a talk to.
-
There is a Davidson 29 design in the US that has standing headroom thru to the Head and an open transom. It would be a great boat for NZ.

That would be a Townsend 30 at that year.
