Hmm, Mr Parker must be up there with Mr Hunt regarding a distinct lack of marbles.
Hunt had his dibs on NZL20 and was responsible for its initial demise if you encounter this buffoon give him a very wide berth.

History repeating itself with Panuku/ Council preference for cash rental return over BEU income.
Whilst lobbying Council to purchase Westhaven many moons ago it was apparent from the get go they simply couldn’t do the maths even when we laid it out in plain English.
My question to those that support BEU’s is who sets the berth value.

I believe it’s a Davidson aluminium everything.

Did she mean she has been listening to the Akaranas plans and vision for the hardstand.

Not the America's Cup but the "Dung Cup".

I have given myself 2 months to purchase the RIGHT YACHT and mooring, a 35 to 40' coastal cruiser LIVEABORD.
Life is a journey not a race more so whilst seeking to purchase the right sail boat….

Crikey crew lighten up I was just being sardonic after reading yet another finely crafted piece of local journalism...
Liz Alonzi doesn’t want to sell her 10-foot trimaran, but may have no choice. With the closure of the Okahu Bay Hardstand in Ōrākei, the next-closest location she can service her vessel is in Whangārei.
“It’s either that or pay $1500 an hour to hire a crane, which I can’t do,” she said, explaining that other Auckland marinas were not equipped for trimarans.

Crikey one would think Liz could wash her 10ft trimaran at home rather than pay $1500 for a crane.
What a potpourri of territorial local authorities and private vested interest ship yard rats have crawled out of their nests to once again rob Auckland boaties of necessary access to reasonably priced hardstand facilities.
If you are a members of the Akarana you should hang your heads in collective shame.
A plague on all their houses I say.

What a tosser Mellars couldn't give a flying fish for those who risked their lives to save his unappreciative hide.
When approached by the Herald for comment on the rescue and the lengths authorities went to save him, Mellars said: “I don’t give a rat’s arse about the rescue, and I have nothing to say to you.”

Could have been 150mm shorter but at least it is fitted now, rigging up the lines next.
Plan is to add a grate at top and a boarding ladder in the near future
Could be an expensive 150mm when the marina nazis require you to move to a longer berth.

If you can get your hands on some Jet A1 aviation fuel it’s way cheaper and burns a whole bunch hotter.
Better add one of these too….

Not quite the last weekend, but pretty happy to get a Mariner Stainless Kero stove as a trade for a 6 pack of cider.
I spent a hundy on some new bits and it's now running in in the outdoor fireplace at home. It will move to SO once it's proven wrinkle-free.
Full gory detail on the restoration can be found here.
You will now need a toasty iron.

I have seen those... I looked up Morbic when you first mentioned them... I just need a few minutes with drawings, a tape measure and inspiration fluid on my fore deck. Tell you what, when I have that sorted then maybe I let you know which one you need to build next...😏
Sure give us a call Mangawhai Morby Manufacturers 0800 $$$ $$$

Looking absolutely beautiful!
Foot or so shorter and you would need to double security to keep me out... looks to be nearly the perfect tender for me.
I will be keen to learn what the final bare hull weight comes in at.
Francois does a 10/10.5 Morbic.

Been a while not much progress on the Morby.
The kitchen has turned biblical along with the garden so all I have managed is the extension to the skeg and a centreboard socket.
Did my first steam bend and it worked well.
Well fix off brass strips remove then sand fill paint sand fill paint and then release from build jig.
Got a trailer so that's another thing to tick off.
Still raining.
