A grand a month.... you're out of touch! $1147 a month these days!

I doubt it's an insurance job as I bet GH sold it for virtually nothing... and what insurance company would insure it for heaps when it was brought recently for nix? I doubt it is insured at all!

Only 25%?

There is a severely run down Lotus 10.6 on K pier Westhaven called "Ultimatum"

And Stewarts!

Where is the blue kite in the video? Pretty sure Sunset Sam is the little boat with the fractional white kite... they look on edge and hauling!

Seems a bit odd not to race a rum race on Matariki day but instead have a "Matariki Race" the night before it's actually Matariki day! A race on the actual day could be a good option as it's a public holiday so a few people may be looking for something to do...

Shimmer... its a big problem of NZ yachting! Everyone enters events at the last minute! It makes it difficult for organisers to plan when they don't know the numbers. Not such an issue for the SSANZ series as we all know it will get good numbers in the end but for other events it is a big problem. I have seen several cases this summer where numerous people have held off on entering waiting to see who else is entering. As everyone waits for everyone else to enter, the organisers see low entries and cancel the event. Then you hear "But I was going to enter that!" Moral of the story is

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...
