I will be following the (old) cat 1 check list but damned if I want to pay MNZ for the virtual colonoscopy.

$2.2K's worth of Blind faith What is the 2.2K actually fund? Why is it such a disproportionate amount compared with other countries.? Bet MNZ will try an enforce the legislation against NZ'ers registering offshore.

ie Part 1 -153 pounds for 5yrs & Doesn't seem to have the 185day resident clause and cost 72 pounds to renew for another 5yrs. But you have to have UK citizenship. My wife does, yeah dangerous!

Isn't UK only 150 quid for lifetime?

The several thousand dollar question; Will they seek legislation to circumvent NZ residing boats from offshore rego?

Thanks for that "What cells are you using that are rated for 0.01C at 3.65v that's out there." ( O.001C 😬) IIRCly Both Will & Andy have charged to O amps terminal current to batteries "full capacity"? My CALB 230Ahr came with product specs in Chinese. So resorted to Prowse and Andy OGG coming to the conclusion that absorb was for lead in the main, and perhaps to balance but was not really necessary. For day to day. I've only ever top balanced once (8mnths after installing) was in a hurry so left it on bulk until HVD, then balanced manually until it started charging again

Still be a "meh" at 25% aye? 100% would be "nah, not going there". Not for non terrestrial vehicle anyway. Electronics of the Balmar mc618 I better check on tho as its powered from ignition.

What put me off 5x cell was 50%=2.2V. (11V) Discharge curve YinLong

Ok, re phrase. What %C tail current do you call 100%soc at what target voltage. Guessing that it will be high TV for LiFe and errr, 2%C seeing as you like smashing. I do TV= 14.6V and 0.1%C for top balance and sync. (0.5A) 6monthly or less. Normally 14.2V and 2%.

Geez.......I gotta toughen up! Hmmm, could get overcharged with 14.2V with no dc-dc. 6 seems safer. Discharge curve is steeper than LiFe. Also cable run to windlass will alleviate bit of high V on 6 pack. Not so with starter though. Yanmar will get a fright! BTW CD, what %C tail current do you call 100%soc?

Second CD's & Machina's MO. Fridge is always on. Beer is always cold. Solar disconnected for type of sailing I'm currently doing. I have been absent for 3 weeks and its usually around 30%soc when i return. Never low voltage disconnect but have run it down to check operation. Usually do 80/30 state of charge, with a 95%+ balance charge before multi day sail. Usually just changing anchorages is enough to stay in that 80/30 zone as charging at a steady 80A with the alternator brings it up quickly. Should have done it sooner. Drift---LTO's on hold as a bit skeptical how windlas

Guilty by association, sounds fair.😵‍💫 Set aside? FM! Sounds like cruel and unusual punishment. On remand forever. Btw, good rationale K.

Whether you drown your friends or just customers?

Sobering.

That Genie partially under boat looks broke. Hard to tell, but did you duck for them or bear right away? Fantastic shot!

Great to learn from those with experience! That "overcoming its inertia" of a stopped boat as opposed a boat at even hull speed broaching after being hit by top portion of breaking wave and all that becoming rotational energy makes a lot of sense. I guess depends on the magnitude of swell and cross swell. "Unless you can travel faster than the train with meticulous steering". Twenty minutes could seem like hours. Risking stuffing it and a PP. Mate and I planned to go out in 40+ in the gulf and practice Heaving to years ago. Never happened. Anybody heard off increase in Sta

Sorry mods, please delete duplicate image. Cheers. An actual Yinlong graph below, above generic LTO. Also erroneous above as at 14.2V it will not charge any higher. Your post appeared as I was hitting send! Cool, Thanks.

Extensive check revealed none. $600 for 6x yinlong LTO's with Balance board. I'm told 14.2V target V will keep them to 95% SOC. (MyLiFePO4 setting) Must have weird V/SOC curve for that to happen. Ummm, just looked -below. Make that 75%! Don't have glowplugs, start battery is sad, weight is irrelevant, like tinkering and thinking on bailing marina.🙄 Will compensate VD to windlass. So 40Ahr will be 30 if I get house to 14.2V? Maybe not as LTO's will charge way faster?

Agree, mightn't help waxing up, but start is most wearing part of operation I'm told. Dry cylinder is not ideal. Recently I've been having trouble starting Yami 5. My mechanic said run it dry. I didn't say a word. Last time it wouldn't go I gave the above tank a blow job. (Not ideal) Went first pull then. Whatever works for you. At some stage you are going to have to clean the jets whatever you do.

Don't see how that is an applicable analogy seeing as the stop sign was in the skippers head (or not) and any incoming has to be assumed at 100% probable to be safe. But I get your drift. Forgoing the WP and dragging lures over a drop off could conceivably result in some last minute fun and disincentivize stop signs. TIC.

It seems K that you are putting the right to be rescued above the moral obligation of a skipper to keep his crew and passengers safe. Calling us prejudiced against the skipper is like us saying what connection do you have with the skipper? Its just what one believes is more probable, that your undocumented eddies, wind and chop overrule the current/drift modeling which is corroborated (once activated) by actuals with timestamps. Repeating it over and over with innuendo doesn't make it any more valid. (Whatever stance)

Explain that to me, Not-guilty owing to insanity? Otherwise totally agree. I've banged a few corners, figuratively. In hind sight it was all three and unnecessary.

If you believe their story they were not ready to do their turn to sheltered waters. (Being able to see gap between M & NC.) I think they were banging steep shelf that reduces fast to 10m (North) and a treble -up snuck up on them beam on before they Wested. Like you say 100m could have made all the difference. As for 10° to make waypoint??? Probably get a slap with a wet fish, and rightly so, if nobody can prove his nav was off. Arrogant AH or not.
