[TIE - Temporary import exemption extension]

I know of a Lagoon that had its TIE extended. It was going to expire in June but Customs extended all the TIE's in the 'category' as a blanket extension for all the boats due to Covid-19. When you call, you might find yours has already been extended?  Ours was not in the age class range but is still valid for the length we expect to need.

Is that a PT11?

The Thatcher book is good.

We spent last winter in the BoI. Had intended going further north but never got around to it.  Did you know there is a tango group in Opua? 

Good Eye!  Yes she is  a PT-11,  but I am surprised that a small 2-person business from way-way far away in Port Townsend is know in New Zealand.... and by not one but two people on this thread. Her name is Townie and she has the full carbon sailing rig with the PT foils.

Thanks for the recommendation on Thatchers Book!

Morning Chris, sorry I should have updated the title of this thread, I ended up buying a project boat in Kerikeri in September last year.  Still ongoing but getting closer to going sailing, this virus thingy hasn't helped progress!

I appreciate you getting in touch though, and good luck with your boat, trimarans are a niche market as I found out...

Cheers,

Dave

Any pictures?

Welcome to NZ!

If you can by/borrow the "Royal Akarana Yacht Club Coastal Cruising Guide" it would be well worth it. Covers Auckland to far north. Continually updated and written by cruisers, for cruisers.

Most chandlers have it or buy on line.

Hey Terry,  That sounds like a great suggestion. I'll look for it on-line tonight.

My wife found a David Thatcher ?'Cruising Guide to the Northland 3rd Edition,

Any thoughts on this one?

 

And since we have some thread drift going on; Here is our dingy...

We're Canadians on a Farrier F36/39 overwintering here. Heading north from Bay of Islands  next week and looking for a good source of information on anchorages and spots around Whangaroa.

Any recommendations on where to look?
