went back to man o war for the first time in a few year, 1 choice of beer only, $11 served in a can not even a glass, i think is taking the piss! literally. wont be emptying my wallet there in a hurry again, used to be a regular fixture on the boating calendar
I became a wowser after my local in Poncenby started charging $13.00 for a beer.
I don’t object to businesses making money I do however object to profiteering.

Barn with the Morby was flooded but wet vac has seen off the worst this morning.
Tide rose up to 20mm under front door threshold of main house but all good the thing I'm really pissed about is my Canna lillies are toast.
Wife spent the nite at the Kaiwaka Hall and son had flooding road disintegrating beneath his car whilst coming from Auckland but arrived safe phew.

You don’t regularly encounter yachts exhibiting such ignorant and poor seamanship as one does with stinkpot operators must be the fumes…

Day of miracles as the storm passed the sun shone and the Morby soaked up some rays.
Plenty of post Gabrielle tasks to be done on the ranch but I couldn’t resist going on all fours to admire what I had just given birth to… one very stout girl.

Yup, I’m off with Mr Stihl to clean up the ranch.
Maybe now room for a marina down the back paddock.

So $1M+ of performance race catamaran floating towards the tropics for at least the next 10days at 1-2knots...
Bet the insurance will be setting up a salvage operation for that...
Not so sure there will be anything to salvage.
She looks pretty junked up in the pic and maybe that is the reason the skipper pulled the plug and set off the beacon.

Here on the ranch I can see the rooster tails from the retards jet skis fanging around the shallows of Mangawhai some one will get seriously injured at some stage and odds on it will be a innocent member of the public.
The local nominated harbourmaster doesn’t even have a boat duh.

Has anyone used it? With all the recent damp the decks and canvaswork both growing things.
Would it work? Is runoff likely to damage my awlgripped hull?
I have used Move It for many moons without any issues.Dilute apply leave safe and effective.
From memory the active ingredient is the same for most of these type of products non caustic no bleach.

Anyone crewed on this design before?
Yup, was a bit cramped aboard and the crew were a pack of animals.

I suspect the contact area in that puzzle joint would easily match that of an 8:1 scarph and possibly even exceed it.
There is also a light fibreglass cloth that straddles the puzzle joint on the inside.

Happy new year to all yous sea creatures.
Just cleared the decks on the ranch of peoples and urgent tasks so now back into the Morby build.
Strakes are going on and I had forgotten how much I do hate epoxy and patience is the secret to cutting successfully neat and matching gains in 6mm stock.

Nice work, there's no such satisfaction in being in the boat shed. however long it takes.
I still have a 91/4" skilly from the '80s, & a 13" metal cased beast. Bet the latest iterations wouldn't pass that test.
Only ever used cnc for custom SS parts for various applications including steering mechanism.
The tik-stick got well worn.
Hah, I still have two 9 1/4 Makita skilsaws as a young fella my first table saw was one without a guard attached to 1/2 a sheet of 1” plywood clamped onto over height saw horses.
Bloody grunty and bloody terrifying.
The workspace is a dream come true and my first intention was to purchase a Minimax LAB300P combination machine however I have stuck with a basic collection of separate machines with no regrets.
Boat building is the male equivalent of giving birth😀
Amongst other projects I am considering attempting a Garth Chester Curvesse replica.

At least 8 makitas in the photo!
Yup ,got a wee bit of a tool fetish.
Even my neighbour is called Makita😀
What was that old Makita sales and marketing slogan “give me tools not toys men not boys”

Hi Re the image with the sheets of ply joined is that join another way of joining instead of scarfing the ply by tapering the edge. how strong is it compared with a scarfed join.
Does that profile come with the dinghy plans?
Tks
The puzzle joint is CNC cut along with the rest of the dinghy and the fit is very accurate.
As to strength the sole and garboard will get glassed both sides and the hull strake joints will receive a light cloth backing glassed on the inside.
It is one version of many puzzle joints for marine applications ,Russel Brown utilises a variation on his PT II nesting dinghy and I do not see any disadvantages.
Scarfing has its place too and Vivier supplies plans that include this method however I am embracing the CNC big model kit thing wholeheartedly and it certainly makes for a very tidy workspace.

Making some progress life’s a journey not a race.
Absolutely fantastic to have some space where I can go on a rainy day and play with all my buddies….
Transom plus forward bulkhead in place rudder and centreboard glued sole joined and awaiting glassing on the interior face before attaching to hull.
Milled and dressed some very old very tight grained kauri for bits and pieces such a joy to work with and the waste from the thicknesser and saw bench goes on the garden.
Stem resting and ready for laminating.

Took a while to find somebody who was interested in cutting the Morby files Paul and crew at https://www.fineformes.co.nz/ did a sterling job at a very reasonable rate too.
Cracked into building/assembling the mould as the biblical rain on the ranch shows no sign of abating.
Have a pressing order a new kitchen island for the house so will complete the mould and put it on castors so I can gain some space before I receive a whipping...

Many many moons ago my father and I lived aboard the Waione B33 Bailey designed old log of wood moored at Okahu Bay.
I used to help a local Maori family who lived at Bastion point remove mussels from the breakwater poles and sack them in an Idle-Along for delivery to a processing plant somewhere in Mission Bay if memory’s are correct.
Another crappy day here on the ranch in Mangawhai here’s some background on Okahu Bay.
Can not get it to link but comes up with a Google.

Thanks for that Frank.
Progress has been stalled until I have successfully slain the one million Willows that ring the ranch crikey they are a curse of a tree that’s for sure.
I am considering adding a small amount of depth to the skeg so it carries through to the false stem for extra bottom protection.
Next step is to glass the sole and garboard then fit skeg and stem then sand fill prime sand fill prime….
May well add some graphite to last coat of epoxy as the photo shows.
