'It bewilders me as to why he was there' "Manu, a Samoan local who saw the HMNZS Manawanui sailing dangerously close to the reef as it ran aground, said he wondered why it was so close in the first place." "He crashed on a bommie." It is suggested there was a loss of power? To propulsion or Nav electrics? For that kind of reef definition you would think they would use a smaller, shallower draft more manouverable vessel. Bad result all round.

Well, gravity is not a force anyway. And arse driven pintails are old hat.

Why would the non-business user have it on 24/7?

Beam me up Scotty, I’m done here. Too many 1st world problems. Or, lack of.

I rewired my boat with custom (scavenged Porsche alternator) and ext regulator direct to house with ACR to start and 4x6v LA’s. Three switch setup . After 8yrs I got tired of FLA’s and got enamoured with LFP. 18mnths into LFP now and I consider mine simple when I look at the kit on some installs. Just bit the bullet and went LFP on a car. Next project maybe trying to find the Saic parameter ids for individual cell monitoring with a can sniffer. All ready done for the ZS model cell max delta, but not for mg4. Dismayed by not having access to bms on MG4 as opposed by my humble LFP boat

I have an ACR free to good home.

Got my Excel, Chain and rode off the grumpy one! One grump to another. 😐 Usually go to Fineline for misc warp. Its closer. I like the handling of 12mm, and it it fits the cam. I forget the names of them.

Quad purchase tensioner on one leg of V backstay? Needs replacing as existing is 20 plus years old. Going to replace all the blocks, shackles AST. Regular pre stretched or dyneema bearing in mind UV. Other leg is SS wire rope.

Ok, so bare minimum. Road spikes so if the leopard seal comes back he will baulk at my open transom.

Just found that you can only use the wifi to stand alone base modem router Eufy camera here as Eufy obviously has a no sell to nz public agreement with distributor here for 4G LTE NZ version. So we get screwed again. Price goes to 3x.

Going back on mooring. 4G sim on a cheap monthly plan, turn siren off to spare the livaboards, pir inside, IR beam across easiest boarding area…..any other precautions? Spreader lights strobing on activation. Can control from app. Was thinking of a solar Eufy 4G LTE camera up mast but a bit over the top…? Half a boat buck. Obviously visit the live aboards with liquid offerings would be the best option. One of those fake hawks on top of dodger for unwelcome visitors of feathered kind.

Yip - downdraught day. You just fly everything. & do 10Noeds.

Dont know that I’ve ever come across rogue wave. I thought they were solo at 50’ plus. Not a double up or a wave hit by backwash or clean up sets where then at 30’ every waves would be “rogue”. Surfed a break in Kauai 2x+ overhead when a cleanup set came & closed the bay out point to point a km further out. They reformed and weren’t much bigger than than the normal sets on our reef. But out there they were 15’+ of white water after they broke. You could see it starting to happen as the tide dropped, but the swell was rising. Was end of day & next day was small. If you go ov

Define "more active management". Does the number of unsatisfactory outcomes of current Cat 1 boats to overseas registered non-Cat 1 boats warrant this "more active management"? Not mentioning todays infinitely better forcasting and comms. Or does YNZ just not want to be involved, preferring MNZ wields the big stick.

Yip, price matched against BOI discount Chandlery, on international Ultra II they went $10 lower/can. $340 as opposed ticket. Westgate.
