  1. We've used viaduct in the past but last time i called prices had quadrupled
  2. I really don't mind contributing my little bit towards that.
  3. Is there a technical definition of a rogue wave? Hate the term myself. When I was studying oceanography there were statistically unlikely waves.
  4. We go back almost annually. It has gotten worse.
  5. Ever wonder why insurance keeps going up? Rats, we left Ft Lauderdale 12 months ahead of Andrew. But went back to Central America just after Mitch. The destruction was "total ".
  6. Rigging was OK, the mast broke.
  7. Read Hiscock. " be out of the Caribbean before the hurricane season. "
  8. This one is a shocker
  9. I've reverted to a $10 Bunnings rain coat. Works fine but tends to rip. So I get 5 at a time.
  10. Same, not holding my breath. I'm curious who MNZ will send to look at your boat.
  11. Guess s8ngle handed sailing is no more Crew Experience You need at least one other person who has experience or a Yachtmaster certificate (either RYA or IYT) coastal or offshore
  12. Olympic sailing doesn't feature on crew very often but a friend tells me there is some upheaval happening there as well. We are about to send the weakest team in decades, unlikely to get one medal and there goes all the funding. Meanwhile the sport has shriveled at the grassroots level and not looking likely to recover anytime soon. Good time not to be an official at YNZ.
  13. Or more specifically how many times you intend to depart NZ
  14. Sounds like you have two options. Have blind faith in MNZ. Or register offshore.
  15. It would be a bit unsettling if you were planning a departure next month - what are the rules?
  16. Translation: it won't help win olympic medals.
  17. Probably texting his girlfriend
  18. That's what prompted me to ask, but I was trying to keep it apolitical.
  19. When an electric boat sinks? Can you get electrocuted? My first thought is no, The battery will short between the terminals in salt water, fizz bang pop no battery. Experts?
