See screenshot to confirm the total price I paid - yours (for both 4kg cans incl. the MEKP) $80 and you get both. Basically better than two for one at my price. Was going to use it as part of my current ongoing yacht rebuild project, but decided to go a different route with the boat where I was going to use it. PM me or text the Zozzman on 0220485474 - pick up only - in Mt Roskill, Auck.

Thanks for this. Sent off the survey.

The biggest bomb threat on a boat in my opinion is not batteries or electrical systems gone wrong, but are gas cookers because idiots don't know what they are doing to safely install a gas cooker on their boat. As I am an idiot, I stay away from gas cookers, and use alcohol cookers - which yes, can still cause idiots to start a fire but generally are way safer than gas.

Try the Classic Boat Builders that are in Whangateau. They might know about how to get a mooring. https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/287523138699/whangateau-traditional-boats/

Chubasco the Chico 30? If so, I sailed on her for a day years ago with previous owner of many years, Mike Kalaugher , who is very nice man, and also wrote a fantastic book showing how ridiculous the whole Sounds Murder case against Scott Watson was. Anyway, if you are looking for a manual windlass, hit up Grant at 'Chains Ropes & Anchors' as he often has 2nd hand manual windlasses available. I actually sold / exchanged (for a discount on an electric winch), a manual windlass a few years ago - so he could be a good bet.

Better leave the wife at home then...

Radar, AIS, etc.... good aids for sure, but my question is -> you gotta sleep, even as a single-hander, so you truly cannot always be keeping a watch, at least not a human one. I guess the gizmo's do a beepy thing loud enough to wake you up from dreaming about mermaids when another ship is near..... AIS does for sure, not sure about radar.

‘Man overboard’ is offensive term, says Royal Yachting Association

Yes, men who make their wife walk the plank have been saying this for years.... -
Option 1 - they need to get real and live with it and educate, but cut the banning anchoring crap. Latest evidence I heard / read sometime ago, is natural currents are way more effective in spreading it than an anchor ever could be.

I could hear the roar of the particular gust as it hit our house- nothing like I have heard before. The whole house shook, and then the crash as the tree did it's thing. Next thing to do at sun up is phone my mate in Mangawhai to see if my boat shed up there is still standing.

Its blowing out there. Bound to be reports of boats ashore after broken loose on moorings tomorrow. This massive Pine just uprooted and smashed our carport and landed at the front of the house - amazingly it seems the carport saved the car from being mashed, and probably helped save our front porch. Be careful out there crewdotorgers.

AC has become a laughing stock of a race - read the cutting views of the punters in the comments.....
