A bit of googling shows that the EPA have banned the use of Thiram in Altex ablative, effective from the end of 2023. https://www.epa.govt.nz/hazardous-substances/rules-notices-and-how-to-comply/specific-substance-guidance/antifouling-paints/

I've been using #5 for the last few years and have been happy but the above stories are a bit concerning. Any other recommendations for an easy to apply ablative?

Awesome - thankyou!

Hi. Keen on this. Have sent a message.

I have a bunch of DV10 parts if that helps. Mainly auxiliary systems. In welly....

Would love to see the relevant parts of the standard if you're able to share them. It's a job that's overdue on my boat.

Thisi is awesome! - thanks so much Ex elly.

Have done several offshore passages in one. Great sea boat - very capable in snotty whether. Have been in sustained 50kn winds and felt safe. My memory is that it didn't point that well and made a fair bit of leeway.

Hi folks - I'm a GBI virgin and was hoping to take my lotus 9.2 out there this xmas. Does only having fitzroy available for anchoring limit the experience in your opinion? Will there be enough space there to swing safely? Interested in your thoughts.

Ok - I've dropped the hammer on one of those, Will report back on how good they are

Cool - am doubting many will be open when I'm up there so if anyone has a unit to borrow I think that would be preferable.

Sorry - Should have said. Am running cables for a windlass. 35mm sq cable.

Does anyone at gulf harbour have a cable crimping tool they'd be willing to lend me for a day? Catch is that I'm in Welly and won't be at gulf harbour till around boxing day to a few days after NY or so. Any leads gratefully accepted.

Sailbrokers used to have a shed full of them when I went there a year or two ago.

answer is 2, no?
