Yep, I used an Epifanes gloss poly on an interior job on an Azimut 18 months ago, mint to apply, superb finish.

Not going to dispute experience, respected, meticulously maintained etc but to suggest he didnt have access to updated forecasts and was operating on the Weds or just prior forecast is just BS. -

We came home Saturday as it was obvious Sunday was going to be a sh*tfight for wind and sea state. A couple of the crew a bit whingey about it, wanted more fishing time but both those guys called me Sunday to say thanks, good call. Cant understand why you would be attacking 3 King in that. -

Great photos! Around 2000 I had Black Fun on one of the way out moorings at Northcote. Went to check on her on the way to work and could see her being towed through pretty much every wave by her mooring line. completely emersed.

The nice yachting family domestic at Manowar was really impressive last night... biggest, longest most incoherant, boozed, hate filled effort ive ever seen or heard. Ended with a few death threats. Just lovely.

Chamberlains Bay has about a m of broken beer bottles on the bottom so other than being very protected bay from most angles its not great for holding unless you break through that and get a hold of the bottom. A legacy left for us by decades of commercial and pleasure boats just hiffing their bottles over the side. More the merrier when it comes to chain.

Only cost me $400 in fines when I went under the Waiheke ferry (while underway) in a 4m RIB the night we won the cup in 95... The old Deodar wasnt up for catching us but Eagle was...

She looks much more balanced in her original ketch setup. Nice early big volume cruiser.

Nice one, great crew combo for the conditions.

Does this mean the new pest, opps sorry, Post controls become the old post control rules given the problem has been resolved? Or at least a 90 day exemption on the new rule and see how it plays out?
