My favourite image from the last Olympics was of this gold medalTurkish shooter. Obviously very talented, but didn't look like he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars getting there. I think it's a bit unfair to blame the lack of Olympic success solely at the feet of YNZ. So much has changed in New Zealand socially and in the Olympics as far as what's required to get to the top step.

I have heard that in certain regions where barnacles are a problem that cow drench containing ivermectin has been added to anti foul with great success

obviously having some kind of mental health episode, maybe fully cooked on P- anyway best thing to do in these circumstances is to run away!

They are painting themselves into an ideological corner, fouling is a natural process. It's what happens in the marine environment and is the basis of the ecosystem, us boaties provide free new blank canvasses for this process to occur- so what is the problem? I understand that moving one ecosystem to another and introducing new organisms is problematic but otherwise so what? Are they going to demand piers, jetties, navigation buoys etc be anti fouled- of course not! (Hang on we are dealing with ideologues so who knows knows!) Combine the removal of public cleaning facilities, the shrink

I installed a $15 Ali express 2 channel RF remote for the windlass as a back up because the foot switches have failed twice.

I read the act, its pretty vague. This is going to be a legal gravy train

its a lottery that is looking RIGGED! Christmas to the 1st week in January is unpredictable i.e how often do we get an easterly blow, endless wind or rain when its supposed to be summer, it seems we always end up sheltering from bad weather for days if not a week at a time and its not that pleasant! The settled weather starts about now, I would support a petition to move the summer break forwards a few weeks at least.

Does the yachting community want it? If they do then participation is the pressing issue.

The other issue you may come across is delignification where the lignin in the timber has broken down due to electrolysis around metal fastenings. It results in fibrous patches that can be picked apart easily, the solution is to dry it out and soak in epoxy. Regarding traces of oil and epoxy, its not too much of a problem provided the surface is degreased, lots of timber is naturally oily, teak for example and the accepted practice is to wipe the mating surfaces with acetone before gluing. You are not going to get all the engine oil and diesel out but thats not a problem, I have used a

Dry it out first, a good dehumidifier 24/7 for a week or two at least will suck all the moisture out. Sound like it wasnt that well sealed in the first place, perhaps with everdure or a similar high solvent product? They are permeable unless there are very heavy coatings but the modern way is to use 100% solids neat epoxy warmed slightly and best applied to warm timber if possible. You need two coats, wet on tacky to cover holidays and pinholes. It's also important to understand the materials involved, epoxy does not soak into flat sawn timber very far at all, perhaps a millimeter or so end gr

In these boats if you don't win the start, you are at a significant disadvantage. Or putting in another way coming back from behind in the fleet is extremely difficult. If the boat in front gets a puff or into a new breeze, they are gone and there's almost no hope of catching them
