    With NZ's current financial issues, it must work out cheaper to send our Navy vessels to Samoa for a complete Reefhit 🤔

    *Boom, tissssch*

  2. Cut the drainpipe into three sections longitudinally. Reassemble the pipe around three circular formers.

    Lay up your CF tube with lots of release coat on the drainpipe.

    Remove the circular formers and knock out the three pipe sections one at a time.

    I too am a bit unsure. This is the App which receives the data from the controller,

    The “Battery “ Is measuring the voltage of the battery.

    “wind “ must be the generator output.

    I can’t find much information about it all

     

    Makes diagnosis difficult then.  Get a real voltmeter and take real measurements.

    How did we ever survive fitting our own regulator,running gas pipe,when was the last vessel to explode via gas?   Oh well back to carrying cans of kero or meths. Do I need a sniffer in the engine bay incase theres a diesel leak? never mind the mountain of wires running off the batteries. All over top imo

    our gas locker (now redundant) also houses the liquid fuels.  Constantly smells of tw-stroke fuel fumes... 😏

  5. the definition of rich man racing.  No technical or operational relevance at all to the boating population, and boring as batshit to watch.

    F1 had this problem for a while and fixed it with technical limitations, but they had the advantage of 10 competitors, 20 vehicles at any one time.  Yachts match racing (AC at least) has two competitors, 3km off-shore in a procession.  Best you can hope for as an observer is a gear failure or an operator error to liven things up.

    There is a high degree of mystery and curiosity as to how a 180ft superyacht managed to sink. Most people would think discussing that is a fairly safe topic. Especially on a sailing site. No?

    Agree with your sentiment K, or as I understand it.

    To move away from geopolitics and into media and advertising, the reason we are in thrall with this is that we are fed it.

    I'd expect interest on a site like crew or anarchy, but the wider interest globally is the result of media selling advertising.  Nothing else. 

    There is no deep public interest in the narrow subject area of "billionaires dying in unusual circumstances".

    There is, however, a fatburg of schadenfreude and celebrity fascination that makes this stuff a goldmine for ratings.
