On my Android phone I like Anchor Pro

Buoy location from that Geonet page:

Do you know a model/part number? I assume these with fit the 3YM30 as well as they both have the 3.15in dual foot mounting?

Burling and Tuke couldn't sail for any of the major teams due to the new Nationality requirements. They could join an "Emerging Nation" team but these are at the discretion on ETNZ and I'd hazard a guess that would be vetoed. I'd say they are weighing up AC vs Olympics.

I brought one of the fosters bits a while ago and tried with with my Ryobi battery drill. The battery drill just didn't have the grunt to lift me up, even on a 2:1 halyard and a Harken 40 winch. Maybe a better battery drill would but I'm thinking the smarter way for me is to use a 240v drill off my inverter - just way more grunt.

Fosters do the bits but they don't look as heavy duty as the ultimate cranker. https://fostersshipchandlery.co.nz/products/ironsea-winch-bit https://fostersshipchandlery.co.nz/collections/winches/products/harken-drill-adapter-powered-crank-handle

Has anyone found a cheap 240v tool that can do this job? I'm thinking for the rare time we need one of these to get me up the mast, we could plug in and run off our 3kw inverter.

Hi All I have a old Briski folding prop of a Yammar SD20 and 3YM30 that I'm keeping as a spare in case I ever loose/damage the new Goris I put on to replace these Briskis. As its a spare, I rather carry a lighter fixed alloy prop than this folding one. So, do anyone want to swap me a lightweight fixed prop for my folding one? The Briski has done a lot of miles is isn't that new or tight. Pitch 16 x 14

Yep. We laid a 12-15m 3 years ago and that was $6k Friends have just laid one next to ours and it was about $7k, so I'd say yours is the going rate.

Sadly we have had to cancel the race this year. It's been a very tough decision for the NZMYC as we just wanted to RACE! Get ready for a really big one next year as it is the 40th anniversary of the race! https://www.coastalclassic.co.nz/post/pic-coastal-classic-flies-ap-flag-for-labour-weekend?fbclid=IwAR2lSwMeYYtnT5qpCEFTYhNHgH8WINVbJXghn8e8DEzuvqCJZXwKHcQM9bs

Good thought. A couple of friends have theirs coming out the bottom of the bridgedeck, so will see how it is working for them. This guy puts his coming out the front of the bridgedeck, which would worry me on many levels!

This might be the right option for me. I can install under the saloon seating which makes it: Close to Galley Sink, so we don't waste a lot of water waiting for the hot water to come through. Easy to run air ducts through to both hulls and saloon. The Hot air won't really make it into our rear cabins but these are usually warm from the engines. I guess I could adapt this to a Hydronic system for these cabins if this really turned out to be an issue. Exhaust can go out the bottom of the bridgedeck. Its more expensive that I wanted to spend but probably not that bad co

This is such a good feature that I use all the time. I have an old tablet in our saloon that we use to mirror the chartplotter screen onto for the onwatch crew and we even have the ability to display it on the 27in TV via android TV but that uses a bit too much power on long passages. I often use it on a windy night to help me sleep better an anchor. We have a mount for a tablet above our bunk, and I always set a waypoint when I drop the anchor, so can have dist to waypoint (often 40-50ish meter), radar and wind info shown, so if you wake up you can quickly see you haven't moved and no

It is if you get it really really wrong!

Latest Update - there will be a race if it is possible!
