Joy comes with a cost with Starlink it’s light pollution lying in my bird bath at night observing the heavens ain’t exactly serenity.

Twice in a matter of months.

How exactly do you “spot clean” one of these polluting behemoths once it’s rocked up with a dirty bum.

I am still of the opinion that a format where sailors matter more than computers, where teamwork and boat handling including flying extras would be far more popular if the aim is to grow the event and broaden its appeal.
For me the Cup is at it’s best when technology and crew skills are a happy marriage.

One of the most embarrassing displays of authoritarianism run amok on the water I have ever witnessed was the local harbourmaster at Mahurangi imposing his will upon a couple in a dinghy not wearing life jackets, crikey if he had tried it on me he would have required urgent medical assistance.

How many boaties have actually perished ferrying by dinghy to and from their vessels.
Next it will be mandatory to wear life jackets whilst sleeping aboard just in case the craft sinks.

Sorry actually 4%, might have to follow Priscillas lead
Don’t follow my lead I’m in the process of returning to being skinned alive by Westhaven😩
One positive as a purchaser is the outrageous berth fees have crushed the value of vessels.

Still got to rig her but I think it’s time to go for a putter…

Nervous moments on the router table reducing the Navy Whaler oars by 300mm in length and shaping the new handles.
They are nesting nicely now and the new mainsail just arrived all 7.8 sqm of it.

Fabulous work, too Nice to put in the water.
Actually I am thinking it will be a shame to finish her maybe I could do like Lex did with the Haparanda and cut the Morby down the middle and in half grow her a bit now that would keep me occupied .😀

Looks amazing. Looks a lot like the Stornoway 12 by Paul Fisher. Dad and I built one a few years ago the Stornoway also has multiple chines. We did a stitch and glue, your shiplap finish looks fabulous.
Thanks for that.
Francois Vivier designed Morbic 12.
I have gone with Carbothane 133LH as a topcoat over Interprotect epoxy primer and the satin finish is a welcome relief from high gloss.
Other positives with Carbothane is the recoating time is indefinite and it’s bloody damned hard as😀

Rebuilt the fire box on the wood burner.
Getting it apart was like one of those Chinese puzzle box’s .
The one thing I have learned in retirement is a nice snooze paves the way from confusion to success.
