  7. thank you all very much,
     it took me 5 days to get to weellington, a stopover in napier for one night, the whole trip was perfect.
     only 35 miles before arriving at castle point I had a 3 meter wave and 40 knots of wind, 
    I arrived at castle point at 6 in the morning and hid there for 2 hours until it calmed down a bit, 
    then straight to pallisier cape and cook strait, and make it to wellington just 3 hours before strong south wind.
     thank you all for your time and help.

    I've recently purchased a steel hull powercat, which is currently moored in Motueka, NZ.  I'm looking for an experienced skipper to guide the delivery to Auckland.
     
    Some details:
    • Length: 13m
    • Beam: 7m
    • Engines:  Twin inboard 120hp Ford diesel engines
    • Fuel capacity:  1200 liters, split between two tanks - 600l per tank/engine
    • The vessel is around 40 years old
    • Photo attached
     
    The boat is fully operational, but her surveyed operating limits are "enclosed waters".
    I had her survey certificate updated in June as part of my pre-purchase assessment, so I know she's in good condition.
     
    PM me for any further detail.

    I have done twice via the east coast in a catamaran. We stopped at both Gisborne and Napier. Then continuously with hour on, 2 off watches to Wellington (3 of us). 

    We waited in Napier for at least two days of favourable forecast, then went for it. We motored whenever our speed dropped below 5knots.

     

     

    Below. Us in Gisborne, and friendly locals escort us out of Hawke Bay. They stayed with us for over 2 hours.

    Sorry if all this sounds too negative. It can be done, and the area can have fantastic sailing and good weather. You just have to choose you time carefully, and be prepared to change your plans according to conditions...

    No , is all good thank you.....

    I think the best thing to do will be to go to Napier or Gisborne leaving early morning on Sunday, "looks good for now" then arrive on Tuesday throughout the day and wait there until
     the strong wind that comes from NNE dies down, probably by saturday...good fotos by the way. thank you.

    At this time of year the weather windows don't last long. It's further round the top, and the only real harbour that's accessible is New Plymouth. It has limited shelter and is designed for ships, with little yachting infrastructure. In w/NW conditions its rolly, even behind the breakwater. The west coast is pretty rugged, and more so the further south you get. Remember that that is (mostly) the prevailing weather side of the island. 

    If, for some reason, I had to do this passage at this time of year, from Auckland, I'd go E coast, no schedule, stop if needed, leave the boat if needed. But ideally if it was my boat, I'd leave her in Auckland until summer, do some cruising in the Hauraki Gulf, then in Feb I'd head south with a good 5 day forecast, and have a nice passage without being bashed (or much less likely) or frozen. :-)

    That is also the advice I'd give to anyone wanting me to skipper a delivery to Wgtn. Oh, and you may not be aware, but Wellington/Mana/Cook Strait was my home territory - I sailed there for 40 years.

    Thank you very much for the information, I have never sailed to Wellington from Auckland,  I have made some deliveries to the North from Auckland but no to the south. On the other hand, I have done boat transportation in the Mediterranean, Spain, Italy, France... and the Canary Islands... but here in NZ I have little knowledge of the area.  thank you very much for all the information Island Time.
