    Where to Mount Nav Lights on Pulpit?

    Probably a good idea to follow the Yachting New Zealand Safety Regulations of Sailing 2017–2020

    19.07 Navigation lights on all boats shall be fitted no lower than the height of the upper lifelines.

    Thanks, that's good to keep in mind.  Interesting 19.07 first says above main deck level in the first paragraph then later says no lower than upper lifeline.

    Any opinions on where is the best place to mount navigation lights on a pulpit?

    Y99 Geriatrix has only ever had a masthead tri-light.  It was 30 years old and broken so I'm getting some stainless mounts added for LED's on the pulpit.

    If you had a choice, what part would you install them on... under top rail? lower rail? forward?  Any pictures of a great setup please?

    Cheers

    Ball bearing block lubrication

    Thanks guys.

     

    Yes definitely bearings, I can see them down in there.  Just like this except blue pulleys https://www.svb24.com/en/easylock-easymatic-two-speed-mainsheet-system.html

     

    I'm trying CRC Onedrop C&C synthetic, as a cheap alternative to Mclube Onedrop.

    6 bucks from Steves Marine Supplies.

     

    Cleaning them and dropping from 12mm to 10mm when I buy a new mainsheet from Knot Me will make the most difference I'd say... until I can slip new blocks past the bean counter.

    Does anyone use anything to lubricate ball bearing blocks?  I read about McLube one drop but anything cheaper and more likely to have around like that 3in1 multi-purpose oil?

     

    I've got some old 'easyblock' mainsheet blocks that I'm trying to revive - a good clean helped.

    Battery monitors - Smartguage?

    I bought one of these from Ebay a year ago:

    I'm not saying it has the quality or all the functionality of other models mentioned, but it does all I need it to do and seems to work fine. Voltage of start and house battery, charge and discharge amps of the house. Shunt included. The price was appealing.

    Davidson 28 for sale - Any Y99's coming to market?

    if you want info about any 1020 pm me and I will tell you what I know.  Having being down the Y99, Y11 and then getting a 1020 (now Chairman of the association) don't think you would regret the 1020 especially with re resurgence of owners in the last few year both social events and racing

    Thanks Rawhide.  I had a look at a few 1020's.  I think if a nice one came up I could be swayed.  Otherwise I felt some of the other 33 footers had more internal volume for the cruising side of things.

    Cheers

    Crew Available - tonight and through summer

    I'm looking for a ride in the Richmond race tonight if any kind skipper needs crew.  Looks like it will be light though.

     

    I'm happy filling any position throughout the boat.  36 y.o. fit, experienced, easily fit in, and can bring a few beverages.

     

    Looking forward I'll be available most of the summer around Auckland (Westhaven preferred).

    where do you get canvas (dodger) repairs done?

    Can anyone recommend a place for odd repairs and changes to canvas in Auckland?

     

    My dodger blew out a couple of months ago on the piles at Westhaven, with the clear separating from the canvas.  It just needs to be re-sewed.  Also my main cover doesn't fit over the new main so needs to be lengthened and widened.

     

    I'll have a flick through google too...

     

    Cheers
