  1. If you have the  first aid stuff like the bandages etc already, Oceania will sell you just the drug component.  I had the same situation as you - already had the first aid kit from burnsco for cat4/5 but needed to add the drugs for CAT3

     

    Alternatively, if you have a tame GP some will write you a prescription for what you need.  a lot more hassle though (and not really much cheaper) 

  2. yikes - Found my 2022 receipt which was $210, now $345 for CAT3

     

    I feel like the checklist of stuff to upload is a bit sledgehammer to crack a walnut perhaps in that its trying to be generic across CAT1/2/3 - would be clearer to the average person if there was a different upload check list for each category.

  3. Has anyone managed to go through the 'new' CAT 3 process yet?  Planning my application at the moment as I expire this year.  It will be interesting to see what is actually required this round and how much discretion inspectors will have.  I had thought that I would be all good with an update to my flares as the SRS I got the 2022 cert under are still valid.  

    If we really have to upload as per below, its going to get interesting...

    - the example yacht manual is appendix 5 is a bit OTT for CAT3 surely?  Only needed a plan of where stuff is, a MOB procedure and manuals last time

    -don't have and didn't need an MMSI last time- no AIS or DSC so didn't see the point...

    -gas is a whole other saga - my insurance company were happy with the condition report I got this year so hopefully that's enough?

    -fire extinguishers - didn't need a cert last time, and they are relatively new and showing in the green so fingers crossed?  cheaper to buy new ones than have them certified....

    don't get me wrong, I don't have any objections to the gear etc needed, and I keep the boat pretty up to date, but the only thing I need the cert for is Coastal.... hopefully it dosen't get too hard for smaller older boats to continue to compete....

  4. thanks.  always found the engine room amazing to deal with when i had my bukh

    seems that Yanmar parts are more challenging.  different distribution model maybe but i miss easy access to (albeit expensive) spares all in one place

  5. I know that this has probably been done to death, but is it really worth spending twice the price (ish - abouut 425 vs 720ish) on a stainless exhaust mixing elbow over the cast iron version? Its the u-shaped mixing elbow in my Yanmar 2YM-15....

    this one https://www.firebirdmarine.co.nz/product/146775-yanmar-1-2-3gm-2-3qm-exhaust-mixing-elbow

    vs this one https://www.boatpartsnz.co.nz/product-page/exhaust-elbow-yanmar-gm-series

    need to replace my current cast iron one...

     

    TIA

     

     

     

     

  6. Interestingly, I couldn't actually install a kero stove if i wanted to.... according to class rules...

    (d) Prior to 1st January 2006, a minimum two-burner stove with grill and/or oven in working order shall be permanently fitted with a gimballed fitting.  With effect from 1st January 2006, as a minimum requirement, a two-burner LPG stove with grill and/or oven in working order shall be fitted permanently with a gimballed mounting and any dispensations given under rule 2.9 will cease to apply to this rule from that date. 

     

     

     

  7. was a great event last year  - pity conditions meant we didn't make it to the barrier, but an awesome event from the RYC... would definitely bring the boat back down if it wasn't for that dirty four letter word starting with 'w'

    That's a bit different from what we are discussing here, isn't it?  That's paying someone to operate a boat which they or the club, or someone else owns.  Presumably the operator is making a profit?

    If your skippers are volunteers, they are club members and they are receiving a "nominal wear and tear gear allowance" eg, $25/day and a beer and a meal afterwards at the bar, then that would need to be tested in court to determine if that was payment for service, in my non maritime club experience in relation to, Worksafe, DOC Concessions and the Adventure Tourisim Regulations, the courts have stated that a payment like the above is not payment for service.  But MaritimeNZ have never tested their laws in court.

    Sorry may have misread the post.  We have moss exemptions for our club owned chase boats

  9. Howdy.... anyone had any real world experience with one of these?

    https://vakaros.com/products/atlas2?gclid=CjwKCAjwo7iiBhAEEiwAsIxQEaQhS1LqxOZxxsVX2jB_FzAJ3XXAx1DR8e9v4Cp_N94hrHOvndfEyRoCEsIQAvD_BwE

    need to replace my speedo (the old navman s100 finally gave up).

    All I've got is a raymarine a series MFD downstairs with no network at all at the moment.  Was thinking of adding a raymarine i70, but would also need to build a network to add it so ends up being reasonably cost neutral.

    I will add a speed transducer in time as well (probably the airmar dst810 with the wireless capability) but not keen yet as the boat has only recently been out of the water (typical)

    the ultrasonic wind sensor also looks like an interesting addition, but seems to be mixed views on those.  

    any thoughts/advice?

     

    thanks

    Interested in where this info comes from? Particularly re Baltic, which I have, as the information on the Baltic website says that you should have it serviced each year by an authorized agent OR you can do it yourself.

    Is the above from ynz? Or just something collated from what you could find?

    copied and pasted from the YNZ website.... link here:

     

    https://www.yachtingnz.org.nz/news/service-requirements-inflatable-lifejackets

  11. thought this was interesting from YNZ - something to consider (I hadn't) if needing a CAT 3 inspection - getting lifejackets serviced by an agent and needing the service certificate adds cost and complication (no argument from me that you need to be sure its going to work...) but a little more challenging for us in the regions

     

    The servicing of inflatable lifejackets can create some confusion, particularly when a yacht inspector asks for the current service certificate.

    The Safety Regulations of Sailing specify that all equipment must be serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements.

    Below is a summary of the requirements of the most common lifejackets as at June 2021:

    Brand Distributor Service Interval Service Centre name Location
    Baltic Kiwi Yachting 12 months Safety at Sea Auckland
    Secumar Kiwi Yachting 24 months Safety at Sea Auckland
    Spinlock Lusty & Blundell 12 months Lusty & Blundell Auckland
    Crewsaver Survitec 12 months RFD National
    Burnsco Burnsco 12 months Self Service or Transport & Marine Tauranga
    Edge Burnsco 12 months Self Service or Transport & Marine Tauranga
    Kru Hutchwilco 24 months Wilco Auckland
    Hutchwilco Hutchwilco 12 months Self service or Wilco Auckland

  12. we use Nautical Insurance who have been good to deal with - - no claims yet though, and previously Mariner who we did a claim through several year ago no problem.  they were quite a bit more expensive when we got the new boat, hence the move to Nautical.  two different boats, both on swing moorings at times, although now in an marina

  13. have just been through the same.  Was going to be $550 to replace the batteries in my ACR global fix (arguably a better EPIRB with global coverage, not just NZ/OZ) for a 5 year battery.  Instead purchased an Ocean Signal rescue-me for $399 with a 10 year battery.  both with GPS etc.  no brainer for what I need (sadly) :-(

  14. I have the foam / sika setup on my Y88 with an SD20/2YM15 setup.  Was like that when I brought it  - had never had a sail drive before and got a bit of a fright when i pulled the boat out of the water the first time to find no boot. Has been like that since the engine was installed in '05.   Got some advise, and used Sikaflex 291 as the sealant when I re did it.  Seems to be fine, although getting a smooth finish was a bit challenging (but that's just me...).  just antifouled over the top and seems OK 14 months later.

    We also have propspeed on the SD leg and its still in great nic after 14 months, prop a different story though....
