  1. Are you talking about while you are on the boat, or leaving the boat unattended from time to time? My understandings is that there are moorings in the sounds cause a lot of the bays have poor bottoms and geography for anchoring in. That isn't such an issue for NI east coast. The vast majority of places have good holding in reasonable (shallow) depths. That, and for leaving the boat, there are basically marinas everywhere for parking in if you want to leave the boat unattended for a few days or more - noting that the marinas are criminally expensive now. There are plenty of moori
  2. Mahurangi West Rd closed, so can't get to Sutherlands Bay.
  3. Are they postponing due to the forecast? Or risk of flooding debris in the water? Or to allow BoI race week boats to join in? They might be keen for some racing after the wash-out up there.
  4. How about a celebratory bottle of Loctite? Is that the sort of thing you put on those types of bolts? Bet you are happy with that outcome though.
  5. Enough with the suspense already... We've been waiting months, if not years for the latest installment of what is wrong with your engine. PS, this is better than anything on Netflix at the moment

    Safety is an increasing concern. Anyone that understands the accident pyramid will see the risks of a serious or fatal incident are growing, as evident by the very large number of near-misses and accidents.

    To quote Burling, Anticipation isn't mentioned in the rules. That, and with 12 boats doing between 50 & 80 km/hr on a course measured in hundreds of meters (as in a very small and tight course), I think they have enough on keeping track of where the boats currently are, without trying to guess where they might go as well. What is mentioned is boats changing course are obliged to give other boats room to keep clear (which clearly did not happen), and, the stand on vessel is required to hold a steady course (to allow the give way vessel a chance to keep clear). The Swiss never
  9. Cares about what? No one cares about posts someone made last year?
  10. My commiserations for what you are about to experience.
  11. Yes. You have a choice, sit the unit outside and duct the cool in, or sit the unit inside and duct the hot out. You can duct the return air in or out as well, depending on which way you've got it set up. Like in a car, you can have fresh cool air in, or recycle the cool air in the cabin. Easiest way to set it up on a boat is make up a spare washboard, or board to go over an open hatch, with a hole in it of the appropriate size for the duct. It also comes with a high density foam block that is easy to mount into windows (such as sliding windows, common on campervans but less so o
  12. PS, can offer a good deal to any crew.orgers who are feeling a bit hot and bothered right now
  13. In your jammies? The key benefit of this isn't during the day when you are swimming or general boating, it's at night when it's hot and humid and you need some sleep. Or for keeping pets cool, say on a day like today.
  14. Beat the heat, have a good night sleep. Get a portable aircon unit for your boat. Comes with battery and can run and be recharged off 12v / 24v (needs battery to run off 12v / 24v) Portable Aircon - Ecoflow Wave 2 with Battery | Trade Me Motors
