[General Jackson]

Hi Ballystick, here are some photos of when we did up 'the General'.

She was still red with the name 'Jenny G'. very race, rallied and rolled - if you could point at it, it leaked.
First memories of taking her away was just after we got her - night race to Kawau... bailed her out before we left, as she leaked like a seive. Brought a handheld compass, and a chart for navigation....I recall halfway through the trip Joe going down and asking why his bag was floating, so much water ingress... then it rained like hell when we got there and had to pull a sail over the deck so we didn't get wet while sitting inside!

She was very water damaged, as you may be able to tell from the photos - I have more but they are tucked away in storage somewhere... 
Ant and his brother Simon did the refit - General was launched and about 2 weeks later left for Fiji with RAYC Fiji race.
Lots of offshore trips, Airlie Beach regattas and memories from our time with this boat.
My son was 10 days old when he took his first trip on General - it was cruised with Ant and I, and Tristan, I recall doing some ladies racing for a time, but mostly the guys raced it on Wednesday night and rum racing. 

We heard you were around Kawau at Xmas but couldn't find you...we now have Marcato (62ft Simonis sailcat) and Bullrush (the kids have Bullrush)...if you see us on the water come say hi!

Janine, and Ant

The internet one is that we have a modem on board. Appears to have heaps of signal we can connect  (devices say connected) but there is no internet/connection. Can shut down/restart modem some times it will reconnect. Other times not. Sometimes it works fine, then for no apparent reason - it won’t.. 

The connection problem is not isolated to one device, it can be phones, Apple TV, computer etc..

..there is a booster up the mast...

Thanks all will speak with Island Time after Christmas.. (we’ve already had a couple of people look.. )

 

[Tech expert required - Half Moon Bay]

We are looking for someone who can help us with internet, czone and other small navigation/screen issues on our boat  (someone who can come onboard and sort out a number of problems that 2 years on have not been sorted by our own fault finding).

Any recommendations?
