  1. The recently transmogrified Sailors Corner better get some "sailors supplies" as the shelves are depressingly bare. Still the upside was I could not find a single thing to purchase for the princess so that even beats the $1.50 that set the spend record at Burnsco. Was the closing down bit just a ruse or are there genuine creditors that the supposed liquidator was seeking to recoup loot for.
  2. From memory the Nina was sheathed. Double planked Mexican mahogany 1 3/4" on white oak frames and David had replaced the deck. One thing that stuck out for me in the report was the new Cummins engine had issues that prevented the supplier from providing a warranty. A new Cummins 150 engine was fitted into the Nina at Opua during March/April. On completion of engine fit out sea trials were carried out. The company who supplied the new engine would not sign off on the “new engine” warranty, as the engine had been fitted by the owner and there were issues with shaft alignment. This resulted

  4. Best to just have your estate sell your beauty and rather than burden the charity with the disposal process just gift them the proceeds.
  5. Avatiu Wharf Cook Islands September 2017.
  6. She was in the mangroves at Rawene but has been towed to the Kohukohu side.
  7. Not everyday you see a Tartan topside finish. This is a European restoration which compared to what we do here is a completely new yacht. https://floatmagazin.de/boote/das-zweite-leben-einer-achtzigjaehrigen-klassiker-robbe-berking/ http://yard.robbeberking.com/jenetta/index.php

  9. Humans are a pretty rich source of protein. Here is a massive school travelling rather slowly out of Auckland. Very easy pickings and come conveniently canned and ready for export.
  10. Vaka Moana Marumara Atua rebuilt at Lloyd Stevensons after a fire leaves for the journey home. https://okeanos-foundation.org/
  11. Johnny Wrays last ride.
  12. Rocked up to the Ponsonby to hear the latest and greatest from our publicly owned marina management and their overlords Panuku Inc. Got the update on the land based development that struggles to meet commercially viable numbers of prospective marine related tenants. I wonder if the part of G Pier that has been vacated is to given over to commercial stinkpot interests. Kevin Lidgard waxed lyrical and very upbeat about the Marina vying for the most prestigious internationally recognised award and has departed along with Tom Warren to foreign shores with a ready made case to accomodate the si
  13. Nah bro he had fucked up parental background involving heaps of interpersonal conflict so effecting the landscape became his only opportunity of expression a bit like Trump.
  14. Crikey it’s about time this guy received a knighthood.

  16. Think you may be right JB. Storm Vogel was a collaboration between Van De Stadt Illingworth and Giles. The Trophy was originally gifted by the Whangarei Harbour Board in 1964 so the time is right. Star of the movie Dead Calm. http://stormvogel.net/about-stormvogel/the-yacht/
  17. Hah your eyes are better than mine. Wanna swap.
  18. Pictured the recently passed Hector Busby recipient of the 2012 Northland Sailor of the Year award. What is the yawl in the case.
  19. It’s one thing to bench test ,making it work in the boat will be another. The bespoke test rig is a monster piece of engineering and the loads at the business end must be phenomenal.
  20. Still does not answer the warranty question. SC could act as a clearance house for suppliers like yourself for some time to come without having to abide by usual consumer act conditions. I would be a bit more than pissed if a builder went into liquidation and continued to trade supposedly under the guise of repatriating lost funds to creditors secured or unsecured thereby escaping the onerous warrantees I have to supply. Only two things in life attract a 10 year warranty Mitsubishi Ute drive trains and LBP works Actually thinking it happens all the time in my industry so WTF am I moaning a
  21. Sounds like a rort. Buying in new stock not honouring warranties. I buy your product KM through SC and it unfortunately fails am I coming to you for remedy.
  22. Crikey, this 67 year old Russian priest adventurer guy rows to Cape Horn to promote friendship between countries. https://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/rower-enjoys-sweet-smell-success

  24. Yup agree the Coast Guard app is crap and the Metservice one could do with a serious dragging into the 21st Century but is there something I am missing regarding the view.
