A bit swirly underneath it from a few reports, interesting because about 10 years a ago tornado formed here and swept up the sugar works valley before heading off into suburbia

deleted, bots are like caleurpa at the moment!

so much rum

The key here is don't give up, the people who want the hardstand gone play the attrition game and aim to wear opponents down. This watered down option does not make sense, a giant carpark during summer that will be empty most of the time?

its a classic suppress the vote tactic, they could make it 7.00 p.m. on a Monday night just as easily.

Linear PolyUrethane, if you go to a marine shop their garden variety 2 pot top coats are acrylic LPU's, if you want the ultimate superyacht look get Awlgrip which is polyester based. Resene light industrial do a range of LPU's which are just fine for marine use like Uracryl, cheaper too. All the major paint companies make them for industrial use as they are so superior to any other paint in certain applications. They were originally developed for aircraft which need paint that sticks, lasts and doesnt peel off at high speed!

There's 2 kinds of LPU, acrylic and polyester, one can be polished and one cant. This is from memory so google it, but polyester is the higher gloss, longer lasting and harder paint that shouldn't be cut and polished whereas acrylic LPU's are softer more easily repairable (and cheaper) and can be cut and polished. Read the TDS to see what kind youre buying. Both types are extremely good but the polyester is the premium product and for most DIY'ers acrylics are a better option. On a scale of one to ten, oil paints being a one, single pot polyurethanes are a 4, and two part LPU's are 10

Has anyone got an old 80's Lewmar hatch lying around with some good working handles?

Removed the self amalgamated tape mast boot, all the old MS sealant and filled the partners with two-pot urethane to stop movement there. Was going to get spartite but after a bit of research got this product called PMC-790. Looks like golden syrup, sets up pretty quick and as far as I can tell does the same job for 1/3rd the price.

By yachting, we are talking racing and the level out on the course is now is generally lower than it was in the heyday of the 80's and 90's. Less people club sailing = less crew, less people moving up the grades. Why? there are lots of reasons e.g. demographics, available free time, cost (of ownership) the demise of the NZ marine industry, a lot of clubs (with some exceptions) spending all their spare time shooting themselves in both feet and forgetting they exist for the sailors. Lack of effective political representation, no one doing anything about changing the false the perception of yac

Sounds promising

Looks like a heart attack, bypass coming up!

Gotta say it, sailing is taking a hit at the moment. Participation is down in lots of events.

I might have some 85% phosphoric acid kicking around if its still required

last I heard RNZYS are racing tomorrow from Orakei, inner harbour will most likely be off limits for another week at least.

What a tragedy, very sad to hear about it. From the tracker it's pretty obvious which boat it was. It's going to affect a lot of people and as for the lessons, way too early to make assumptions but assume a crash gybe. I'll bet theres a few of us here that have had injuries from them while racing, and running at night in swell and breeze is the worst.

Yacht racing is pretty much not happening in the harbour this week, except for the coastal start. It would make sense that Mission Bay cleans up earlier since the bulk of the flow is in the Beaumont Street and the Wynyard Quarter area

There's theory and practice, spoke to a few people who raced on Saturday and coming back home from the gulf; the harbour has a definite stink to it.

I agree, the consensus amongst people who know a lot more than me is that we are about 200 billion behind where we need to be. But as I mentioned, infrastructure is unsexy and tax cuts are very sexy! Very much
