Hey Matt, who scared them off - you or me?
-
Or simply repaint the entire boot tripe with a different colour anti foul

I always think the chances of simply falling off are lower when you are working the deck in obviously bad weather. It's hard not to be aware of where you are and what is going on.

MARWIN RACING TEAM - want to try a foiling cat?
Black Panther replied to Island Time's topic in RaceTalk
What does winning look like for you? Think I'm in with a chance? -
BTW, were I sailing regularly in cold water I would choose a float coat as worn in the PNW over the "standard" lifejacket by a country mile.
-
If I was sailing a 49er I would wear a lifejacket, and maybe a helmet if it were warranted (never sailed a 49er so don't know). But on my boat I have never worn one, possibly never will. I do not consider myself unsafe. Just sensible.
-
Knowing I was sailing in cold water would affect my decision whether or not to tell the crew to don a lifejacket. No need for a law. Also I think the stats are misleading. If you break them down you'll see that drownings off sailboats over (i think ) 25 ft are pretty rare.

I have them on board, I'll never stop someone wearing one, I expect someone to wear one if I tell them to (I am the skipper). What else is necessary?

I had a look at those links, how far can you throw a stanchion? 12. Please tie a rope to a stanchion and throw it as far as you can.

Sometime next month I will be sailing Opua to Whangaparaoa, I'd consider it.

Sailing long trip in Pacific Ocean enquiries
Black Panther replied to Nacho124's topic in MarineTalk
Yo intiendo pero hablar es un poquito mas dificile. Mi espousa es de La Republica Dominicana. OK - for that trip no skippers qualification is necessary. If the boat is NZ registered then you would need Cat 1 clearance (you can find the rules on the YNZ website), if registered elsewhere you won't need cat 1 but it is a useful tool/checklist for getting a boat prepared.Technically should have a license for the VHF radio and a you will have to make a decision on what long range communications you want to carry (SSB means another license as does Ham radio, but a satphone no problem).

Don't think an International certificate of competency is required for most places around here, thought that was mostly around Europe? ( don't have one and have sailed to around 30 countries to date.) -

Would have to dinghy from wherever and I will have all the dancing girls to get to the prizegiving.

What - boltcutters???
-
So, if I were to turn up in BP, I would need somewhere to park the boat overnight. I'm guessing anchoring anywhere nearby is out???? What other options are there?

A perfectly reasonable response.

All complaints about handicapping are to be directed to Markm and accompanied by a bottle of Mt Gay. Pretty sure that's in the rules somewhere.
