  1. Anyone able to tell us in plain English what they've been up to ?
  2. But what if they were jetskis?
  3. The underlying social problem is many boats simply cannot get insurance while others face often ridiculous and expensive hurdles.
  4. Just got an email from Ned. Cheers.
  5. I miss mine, were I shopping for a boat saildrive over shaft everytime
  6. I was always worried the plough was a little undersized, but according to some chart somewhere my chain was a tiny bit heavy. Only times I have dragged was when the idiot skipper miscalculated the tide range. Anyway I have bid on this supreme (trademe). Looking forward to taking 20lbs off the bow.
  7. Interesting, I have done multiple trips to and from NZ with only a satphone. I have just done 1700 miles with starlink and I'm sold. In fact I tossed the ssb last week.
  8. Vanuatu but they have closed shop so either Poland or rarotonga next time.
  9. Ive been stirring about cat 1 for cruisers for a long time. Eventually decided life is short, registered offshore, problem solved.
  10. Alternatively, can anyone here answer this? Can I replace an 80lb manson plough with a 27.2kg (60lb) manson supreme and expect similar performance?
  11. Are they still in business? I tried calling 3 times , rings then cuts off.
  12. Last trip I did to Fiji I went and came back inside 3 months.
  13. I see MNZ posting on FB that they need 3 months to process cat 1 requests.
  14. Yes, I will go coarser next time. Do this by allowing a bit more time after application before hitting with the roller, then play with the pressure on the roller as above.
  15. Yes. It is very easy to apply. Next time I will touch up segment by segment as required.
  16. Mine is 3 yrs old, ready to do it again. Much easier this time as the substrate is fine. 2 days tops.
  17. Was that 2 to 3 amps continuous or only when in use.?
  18. Believe it or not it was in the same locker as my sextant and tables. F**k I'm getting old!
