  1. I recently put in a 15l Isotemp.... absolutely brilliant system. Heats up so fast. Very impressed. The boat has a compressor driven fridge/freezer... so running the engine each day charges the batteries, heats the water and cools the fridge/freezer all at the same time. As the engine needs to be run regardless it made sense to maximise what it does when running.
  2. Is it on? If so add Hard Labour to the list
  3. Really??? Can we see photographic evidence???
  4. Keeping it simple. I want the boat for my winning bid. The owners wife won’t honour it as she wants more. I have had a legal opinion to say the winning auction bid is/was valid. I’m reserving my right to exercise my legal options. I have reported the relisting to trademe.
  5. Unbelievably generous of you! I was expecting 18:30! No way should we be starting the same time as Fun n Games... that would be so unfair as they are only half our weight! As the handicap is such a gift I might even consider going solo... Will make the deposit now...
  6. Too late to put an entry in?
  7. I'm not convinced in the merits of adding the Coastal Classic to this series... Reasoning... There is quite a big fleet racing (lots of boats to potentially hit) and being a coastal race you are never far from the shore/rocks/dangers so a watch will be required continuously. For a multihull/bigger faster mono it probably isn't an issue as it's likely you can finish before you really need sleep but for a small mono, particularly if it's a slower race this becomes an issue. Some will argue that you can sail around the world solo, why not the coastal? But there is a massive difference
  8. By the time you relaunch the Reptile Knot Me.... Carbon will be old school and there will be a new wonder material!
  9. Fairway Marks The following will be deemed to be obstructions and shall be passed on the main channel side. ( a ) Beacon on Sewer Outlet (Orakei) ( b ) Bean Rock light and Doris Rock Beacon (approx. 25 metres north of Bean Rock) ( c ) Green Beacon on Sandspit (SW of Torpedo Wharf by No.19 Buoy) ( d ) Small Craft mooring Areas as defined on chart 5322 including all moored vessels and mooring buoys adjacent to these areas ( e ) Rangitoto Lighthouse ( f ) Emu Rock Iliomana Rock Beacon ( g ) Red Buoys eastern side of Motuihe Channel ( h ) Yach
  10. Bit late now... but I've only just seen the thread. Anyway the thoughts on the affect on trim by moving the fin aft 60mm I think were missing a key consideration. The function of the fin (other than a means of attaching the bulb) is to provide lateral resistance (and even better lift) to stop the boat going sideways. It's position is important to ensure a balanced boat. My thoughts would be to position it in the best possible place in this regard and then adjust the trim by shifting the bulb either fore or aft on the bottom of the fin. Anyway, hopefully it's all worked out well.
