If I just stuck to weetbix then maybe those mermaids would come running (swimming) as they could finally see my abs under the custard pudding!

Hold on here. I have a RC8-6 , that will be juiced only by solar and AGM batteries as I have no inboard engine as my auxillary is an outboard. Reading some of these posts has given me pause.....seems as if I am gonna have a huge spike when using the windlass that could well blow it out.

Sold!

SIze open 800mm X 600mm Size folded 800mm X 300mm You cannot get this type of table in NZ, unless you want to pay a woodworker to make one. Fully imported cost me NZD $330 (EURO €198) Used once. Has six screw holes in back where a "Lagun" table base was screwed in. You cannot see these holes from the top. I am selling for $190 First in best dressed. Only reason for selling is that it is a bit big and bulky for my small yacht, but will do well in a yacht 28-30 ft and upwards. See pics, and video. Note that the video is to give you a look at the table. I am

She has now been fully restored. Wow!

A pic of the original 'Chico' when it was for sale some years back in San Francisco.

BRING BACK TBT. The boaties version of BRING BACK BUCK.

NRC just give it up and stop wasting everyone's time and money. Either the Gov't allows back potent antifouling (which should never have been banned,d in first place) or just accept that FAN WORM IS HERE TO stay.

If they had have "impounded" you on your mooring, what are they going to do? Set up a 24/7 watch to make sure you don't sail away in the dead of the night? By gosh we have a bunch of idiots that run our councils.

That is a beautiful old lady mate. Luv it.

Fair call IT. So, Dear Westhaven Team, Two things for Westhaven to sort out, and everything else is cool. I am a fan of the promenade and other changes. The two things: - 1. Stop treating everyone like a crim when it comes to parking - this is berth renters with parking permits I am talking about here. Do not put those stupid letters on berth holders car windscreens with a Westhaven parking permit because you "suspect" - without any proof -, that berth holders are parking at Westhaven and walking to work. Hey, yeah, I am sure it happens with a very small minority of berth holders

Mad frantic last few days, but yep, set to get wet end of month. I'm sure your state of the art Raven will have a fridge to keep the amber fluids cold, so yep, row over with a sixer and all will be well!

Too crowded...?

Lets hope its a long, hot one. For me, its a launch late November after a two year rebuild, then out into the Waitemata and Gulf whenever I can as I slowly get in sync with my new-to-me old boat. What about you...

Not just wire, but isn't most of the stuff sold by chandleries such as Burnsco and Smart Marine 'Chinese' sh#t?

$368....so I was right with my initial post on this...? I have gone from liking, to dissing, to again liking what MNZ are doing with the fee.

Thanks Dan for correcting me. That being the case, it's back to the two fingered salute to MNz. They can stick their $1K fee and their Cat 1 crap where the sun don't shine. I'll be registering my vessel under a foreign flag again if seems.

The are two amazing things I sometimes think about: 1. That the Universe is so gigantic beyond all human comprehension -- the earth is literally a speck of dust comparatively speaking. 2. Less philosophical, but no less of a wonder, is that those Polynesians were simply brilliant craftsmen and navigators they way the migrated to the islands scattered around the North and South Pacific in craft built with only basic materials, and which they indeed would have had to make some hard windward passages. I really do have to find some time and read David Lewis' books about Polynesian Seafar

Not quite ready to buy agm's yet. But may hit you up when I am. Cheers

Any experience with Goflex, Matt? I got three of them that I am soon to lay down on my cabin top. I considered the Juice brand from Enertec, but they don't come in the smaller foot print I need. I am, however, going to buy a pair of Juice AGM's off Enertec. They(the Goflex) appear well made, though they are of Chinese origin. I would prefer Solbian, but my God you would almost need to win Lotto to afford them,

LOL....you reckon IT will let you get away with this post ...
