They have a MTOP... If you look on the transoms on the hull deck join you will see a MSA number on each boat. Photo below is a few years old... but they are still in survey and have MSA no.s today.

Several wrong statements/assumptions here... MRX's are in survey. They are privately owned. Most boats in the fleet have numerous owners who each have a proportional shareholding in the company MRX Yachting Ltd who manage and maintain the fleet. With the latest rises in marina fees etc... a ownership share in a MRX is an increasing cost effective option for someone keen on racing. www.mrxyachting.com Squadron has no part in their management or ownership, but the MRX's do work closely with the RNZYS for a lot of their racing and do charter them to the club at times.

I prefer Lachlan Murdock's new boat

Ellephunk did a similar move... nicely executed

and who pays the Regional Council bills? Yep it's YOU... so just send yourself a bill and cut out all the bureaucracy and ticket clipping on the way through and save yourself a fortune!

You can't have too much HP on your tender..the 15 goes pretty well on the 2.6 RIB.

26mm wide 665mm long 100mm hole centres

Which track? Traveller Genoa Jib?

Genoa tracks and cars Traveller tracks and cars blocks cleats etc predominantly Harken, well used but still plenty of life left. Have multiple of each item. Come and look and make an offer for what you want. Based at Westhaven ph 021679125

And the flashing disco lights, strobes and laser lights! Im just concerned you won't see boats finishing when the smoke machine is cranked up!

Really??? I recall a Tornado hitting Howick before... https://hwe.niwa.co.nz/event/December_1987_Auckland_Tornado https://www.nzmuseums.co.nz/collections/3000/objects/1089256/destruction-of-classrooms-at-howick-district-high-school-by-a-tornado-destruction-of-classrooms-at-

I think if we really want to help rebuild the fish stocks you would completely rewrite the rules... No minimum size. Maximum total number of fish. No throwing back. Once you have caught your limit...No more fishing. Before you say I'm crazy... stop and think about it. I believe the mortality rate on released fish is fairly high... So this stops the killing of many fish on the way to your current limit of 7 Snapper. It will cause fishermen to adjust techniques to minimise catching small fish. However I don't think that will ever happe

The $10 rum race entry at RNZYS is a winner! Now they just need to sort out the handicapping!

Mission Bay, Kohi or St Heliers! lol

What I have used it for is too recent to give feedback on longitivtiy but I did a fair amount of research and it seems to be the go to product for the classic yachts and launch's. Seems to last a lot longer than regular varnish. Used to be called Uroxsys until Awlcraft took it over. https://www.uroxsys.co.nz/marine.htm

It's mind-blowing the power consumption of moderate to large launches! Even with large battery banks they seem to continually need topping up! Where as on a F1020 a 100ah battery can run everything I need all night even with the stereo cranked a bit too loud! Mind you I'm not running TV's, Microwave, Oven, Washing Machine, multiple fridges, coffee machine, etc etc etc...

They would have 228565 reasons to process them!!! $$$ Will be interesting how it goes... quite expensive for a shortish race and I'd be concerned about collisions if they get anywhere near the numbers they hope for. But good luck to them... it would be quite a spectacle!

Are you having fun yet?

I've always been concerned when during spring NIWA predicts a long hot indian summer! It always seems to put a curse on us. I prefer when they predict it's not going to be great as it often ends up much better. I think all the crap weather we are having now sets us up for a better summer. NZ weather never stays the same for that long and heading away on the end of crap weather should give you a decent period of the good stuff!

Sounds like that boat just needs to sail faster!!!.... it's still a Young 11

Oceanair seem to be very good at dealing with engine driven compressor systems. I'd recommend them. A sorted engine driven compressor freezer/fridge is awesome! I haven't come across anything that cools drinks faster... just got to be careful not to freeze them!

CarpeDiem is on to it. Volvo dealers may say otherwise but for the D1-20 it is easy to get the overheat alarm to sound with the expansion tank in the standard position if motor sailing on port tack. Island Time, I never tried overfilling the expansion tank, but certainly filled it to the max recommended level. Even so air managed to find its way in to trigger the overheat alarm on port tack.... moving the expansion tank higher (so it's always the highest point in the system) solved the issue. Look on google and you will find a lot of people overseas have experienced similar. Also as

I've done a fishing trip with Lance out of Westport hunting giant Bluefin Tuna... We had to wait 3 days for the weather to settle enough for the bar to open. Even then it was touch and go... but we got out and fished for 3 days in some pretty rugged conditions.... and there was talk about if the bar would be open for our return or would we need to stay out. It was rugged but I always felt safe enough. I was surprised when I heard of the tragedy and the weather reports. First thought was that Lance and the Enchanter have been out and fished in worse than that! (and I still believe thi
