How did your polishing go today?
-
No 5 never "self polished" for me, useless for racing because you cant wipe it without massive amounts coming off, and it doesn't hold up that well in the tidal parts of the harbour. It's OK but Jotun seaforce 90 was/is better. Some boats have had 3 full seasons and only repainting after 4 years. Not sure if its still available.

it's still a 10 million dollar fishery there for the taking. Everyone knows where it is so just steam on out and mow the lawns, come back to port and collect the $$ or is it harder than that?

No it was taken on Monday with the gate in for class rules

S34 Champs; From the RNZYS facebook page It doesn't get any better than late summer racing on Auckland Harbour

Too much gear in the aft locker?

Five people rescued so far in large-scale operation off North Cape

A mate is has done a lot of commercial fishing, he said the water of North Cape can be the nastiest stretch around the NZ coast which is saying something. -
I always thought that big brands were one company but its a fast food franchise out there!

All the 22 bikes have been built (as in the frame) for the new Michelin rear introduced on 2020 which has a lot more grip but with track temps going to 70c plus they used the older carcass which runs cooler but it caused chaos as some bikes could not adapt. Honda being one of them. In the end it was a wet race so it didnt matter.

This is the kind of promo that grass roots club sailing needs, friendly, exciting and most of all accessible.

A friend sent me this great vid;

Anyone watching tonight, Mandalika is pretty nuts, new Michelin tire carcass causing the engineers grief, new bikes still dialing it in, new track that is ultra slippery off the racing line... and its going to be a wet race! Quarty on a fast lap MM's horrible highside in the warm up, hope he recovers to race

A lot of this depends on how much you use the boat, a simple well maintained system is the best option. For most of us its gas, because it's clean. well understood and fast. My petrol powered MSR climbing stove for boat use is rated "reckless" but its the next step down from oxy-acetylene in terms of boiling water Whatever the caravaners/motorhome crowd do, we boaters won't be too far behind.

for a lot of people boating is taking, or aspiring to take a 2 bedroom apartment out for the weekend. Kero will not stand!

And dont forget that Marauder at Pine Harbour that went kaboom, the apprentice drilled a hole through the gas line! My previous boat had the gas bottle hanging or a bungee in the seat locker, connected to the oven with a mixture of garden hose and flaky pink copper line, apparently had been like that for 20 years!

It's not a cheap sport, especially the RTW version

The best one i havent seen for years, its a flat square pressed metal base with large holed wire mesh over the top, it holds the bread about 10mm from the metal base. Designed for Tip Top white and works perfect! The other kinds above are not as good but you might get more pieces done at once.

are you doing it via sd card?

Theres probably 30-50k in scrap but unknown disposal costs-a chainsaw or digger would make fast work of it and a landfill to accept composite panels? A good project for a resourceful person, having a farm to park it on would help
