I veered off the dock in Noumea after a few celebratory drinks. Everyone thought it was deliberate so no harm done.

This whole discussion about dolphins has me thinking again about the dolphin policy in the BOI.
Q. Has anyone actually read the scientific report and study upon which the “bylaw” was based?
Not sure such a thing exists. Best I can come up with is one person came up with the idea and it was adopted.

I think that if a boat has decent mooring cleats and serviced through hulls nobody has any right to complain.
I also hate the idea of an insurance company telling me what I can and can't do. e.g. leaving the pacific after October. That's my decision.

Is this where we are headed?
House Bill 4844 would be a brief addition to South Carolina law, requiring that owners who want to anchor in the state for more than two weeks pay for insurance to cover salvage costs if their boats sink:
An owner of a boat that is anchored in the waters of this State more than fourteen days must maintain marine recovery insurance on the boat.
To obtain marine recovery insurance, the boat owner must provide the insurer a recent vessel survey that includes a declaration that the boat is seaworthy and that the boat can move under its own power as intended when built. Sailboats must have working sails and powerboats must have a working motor. The survey must have been completed within six months of the policy being issued and completed by a licensed boat surveyor. All policy premiums must be current before a policy can be renewed and new stickers sent to the boat owner.
The insurer shall issue two 3 ½ x 3 ½ inch watercraft stickers to the boat owner each time a policy is issued or renewed. The stickers must have the year in one inch font and the insurance company, policy number, and boat registration number on the sticker and be displayed on the boat. The insurer shall require a new survey from the vessel owner after each three-year period before renewing the policy on year four.
A person who violates this provision is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, must be imprisoned not more than thirty days and fined not more than five hundred dollars.

Don't have a chat plotter as this works just fine. Also Don't bother with a speedo anymore, speed is on the phone too.

I went to Fiji and back using an android phone and mariner mx primarily and navionics occasionally. Had a tablet as well but phone was more convenient.

Hull is balsa cored so what youmight end up drilling through that

Ok, might need a professional opinion to know for sure, but the rust you see could be from 50 yrs of condensation. They weep a lot, if anyone knows a solution to that one I'd love to hear it.
Sounds like a nasty job , good luck.

What is your objection to reproducing the original, they are well proven. In fact why are you wanting to replace them?

You can't make meaningful statements about that unless you also know the mortality rate and fertility rate for the population of 15,000,
