That's nothing, I take my kids in the dinghy without a lifejacket, occasionally I'll even push them in the water (but not the younger one if she has just done her hair, apparently it stops being funny then).
-
I have some solar powered torches, cheap as chips from Repco and they are great. (like that??)
-
I have to ask, how many shysters can a town the size of Huntly maintain?
-
I wondered about that, but as above I then worried that someone might read it and take it seriously, this being a public forum.
-
Not attractive in the sense that not many delivery skippers would want the job. And I thought I had better call you out on the idiot idea of "anchoring every night", in case some newbie might actually have taken that seriously. As I said it would be downright dangerous.
-
Make excellent heaving lines don't they rigger?
-
I would go as far as saying downright bloody dangerous. It would be a stupid thing to do.

erice is on the money.

Here goes then. I have done more than one or two deliveries. To do that trip I would want about $5k, and that's assuming the boat was ready to go. You might find someone cheaper, but it isn't a particularly attractive delivery.

How much Matt, couldn't find it???

Rum Race on the 23rd, casual, big party afterward. Look for the thread in this forum. If you can't scam a ride get back to me.

Nice reply Kevin!!!! Do you have a photo of the duffel thing?
-
I don't want a full size washing machine on board, always looking for a reasonable alternative - anyone?
-
FLC, if you miss the deadline there's always room for one or two more on BP
-
Thanks guys, that's what I needed. Just looking at a whistle stop this time to pick up then drop off guests.
-
When you replace the post it has to be positioned perfectly or you get compression up one side of the mast. It will develop an s bend then break. Been there, done that.

We have some non sailing friends want to come for a joy ride around about new year. We hope to be in the vicinity of the Mercurys. Is Whitianga feasible as a place to pick up/drop off guests/ What's the limiting depth? Where's the best spot? Sundreamer??? Thanks

Applied professionally in May this year.

In that case the #5 is not performing as advertised. It gets very dirty very quickly and stays that way whether I sail it or not. It gets bad enough that I have no other option than to physically remove the growth (fist sized clumps of mussels anyone) and if I do that once the paint is stuffed. Jumping in the water to give it a clean doesn't bother me. And Fish says he is getting over 12 months between cleans. I'm still investigating but it sounds good to me at the moment.

I'm using Altex 5 now, barely lasts 8 months. If you do try to wipe it as it is foul it all falls off.
-
Both. You should come for a sail (I'll have the dancing girls on board).
-
40 knots? Is that all? I can do that upwind with a reef in, while having a shower and roasting a turkey.
