Prada trial horse snapped being remotely controlled from shore. Considering significantly more than half of all Prada products are purchased by women soon to be departed head of sales and marketing Aldo Gotti issued a recent statement that given the grey sales environment push back by gender exclusion could not be the tolerated so management has solved the matter by eliminating the crew of the boat completely.

Count your blessings BP. If it was a modern yacht you would not sleep at all too well not knowing what is going on behind the vinyl head lining and the impossible to access hull. 20 years from now if you pop your mortal coil get the whanau to chuck around a few velvet cushions and do a broad reach to Valhalla in style.

How did the CG get a plain and simple app so so wrong. Metservice is pretty antiquated to and both along Zero should join the modern landscape view option for handheld devices.

Sadly it is too grass roots to appeal to a billionaires ego. No carbon no unobtanium no need for excessive budgets for both boats and bases. The local equivalent to the Yole would be the Mullet boat and once Kevin’s mob has transmogrified their existing location into yet more stinkpot sales berths that will be a massive nail in their coffin. Sailing has for some time been firmly travelling on the road to becoming A Tale of Two Cities here in the City Of Sales.

I think these type of yachts are being described as ‘weekenders” Crikey that is a lot of loot for a nite or two.

Yup sure looks as it would crack along nicely, kind of like the Club Swan 50. https://youtu.be/GnIGVuZOIJ8 Nice to see something that isn’t boxy with a big fat arse.

I must of misunderstood this part of the blurb.

Crikey a anchorless cruiser. https://www.shogunyacht.se/

Nice view of Charal and systems. Sounds like Mr Autopilot does quite a bit of work. https://youtu.be/JnXhlJw1S-E

Crikey that is a pair of foils. Maybe one day the shroud poles will go and the rig will attach to the foils???? Going to be some phenomenal racing in this class coming up.

Many I know are seriously considering selling or have sold due to the inverse relationship between ever rising marina costs and their boats sliding value included in that mix is costly and dodgy marine related service providers. Panuku Herbert & Speedy Inc are not the only marine related mafia operators out there. I tackle most boat related tasks myself and reach for electrical assistance from Waterfront Electrical,covers etc from Boat Cover Co next door and sails from yes Doyle’s. Never had any dramas received great service and used for many many moons. Crikey talk to less practically

Mooring line or pole snaps hull then holed by marina. Neighbour on H last week had a pole snap at water level.

POAL hold a consent for the 5 storey car handling facility at Bledisloe and I believe Hawkins is piling as we speak. Darned near impossible to find any decent drawings of it so I assume another brutal Soviet styled structure so it does not conflict with all the other crap architecture that adorns the waterfront.

Hah, don’t fret HT the bonanza trickle down from Daltons Dandies will ride sorry scythe over the horizon and remedy and return bucket loads of loot to the local coffers so much so that Panuku will then cease and desist from rodgering their owners the public . Crikey it’s a weird world and as Mate’ so aptly commented it’s is the small guy the lesser fish that gets whacked the most. Hence the conversion of half of J pier to sales berths for brokers.

One very travelled timber adventure machine. https://www.trademe.co.nz/trade-me-motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/auction-2262194716.htm

Crikey Armchair if you had got of your tuffet and journeyed to the last rare public outing of the Panuku road show at the Ponsonby Cruising Club you could have witnessed the petulant arrogance of Kevin in full flight. He has assumed by default Tom Warrens role and I will tell you that contrary to his families boating historical contribution you smell and feel the building of a personal fiefdom which is business as usual behaviour for Panuku.

Bit ruff on Kevin Lidgard bullshit.In his own words it was his personal call to ratchet the berth rates that tipped us to sell. BP you are most right with your comment about the poor state of the local marine service industry. Got a friend who has been absolutely rodgered by a prominent Auckland marine company in Beaumont St so much so that it has wiped out any interest in retaining ownership of their long term adventure machine. Complete absolute muppets accepting no responsibility and charging like wounded bulls to erode any confidence my friends had that their craft had been sorted and w
