Nah that’s plenty thanks. How much for a B&G.

Well at least you stand a one in three chance to be the challenger. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=12061895

Any good? http://www.cruzpro.com/maxds110.html

Purple Heart only because I like the name. This young fella has a bit on his hands. https://youtu.be/KpXaBHcA3oY Native is correct as it is not exposed to the elements.

Masina the first yacht the Barrotts built and circumnavigated. Jack Brooke design?

Noel is rebirthing a Rhodes 33 one of the prettiest yachts around in my view. http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=6141

Hah, think I scripted that. Had the pleasure of a afternoon onboard with Latira. Where does one start. The yacht is Noel and Latiiras second and both are circumnavigators the first Masina is now located in Queensland. I am a self professed woodnut and the Sina is beyond description from a skill based perspective. There is a well known recollection when Latira and her daughter backed the Sina down a raging southern sea to successfullly pluck Noel back onboard. Latira commented someone had to save this fool of a man who thinks of nothing but yachts.

Here is a old school SS grader. A minter ready to rock and roll which they do in abundance running downhill but fark that mast stabbing the saloon table through the heart .... https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1637011637

I would buy it just for the electrical install. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/auction-1643650430.htm?rsqid=c462996367a0483185a7f57de11ad574

Slutter is what you have. A removable inner forestay on a highfield lever. As others have said keep it and use it. Cutter without the primary issues of headsail chafe as the inner forestay can be stowed at the shrouds when not required.

Not being negative at all. Some of you may think so that’s your call but I doubt that this journey will actually take place. If you give Andrew funds and he perishes doing what he loved are you getting value for your money sitting on your couch.

David Witt interview.

Franks house is listed for sale. Volcanic rock cladding and the fireplace is a cracker. https://trademe.co.nz/1635764327

Idler each to his own. Chinese and 300 bucks is definitely not the way to go just cheap crap with all the usual lack of warranty and support. Sticking with my Tilley and if asbestos is your worry what do you think municipal water supply pipes are made of.

Yup, you are sure correct there Wheels and if I was not otherwise presently engaged in purchasing Penny Brights abode I too would back you in your endeavours to have the Council buy your lump of concrete for a similar sum. Obviously the Beachaven residents are in full agreement with this historically important maritime mission of mercy and see no great need for those funds to be allotted towards any other pressing community needs.

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=12053520 $40 million of that sum is the so called "event fee". Never ever thought a one off yachting regatta could scoff through such a whopping chunk of change. In my view the public purse has been severely diddled by the whole AC event and the $250 million would have better given to our nurses as a welcome change from their paltry pay rates.

WTF is going in here. POAL running amok once again. Leasing to Eagle Aviation and excluding both police and rescue copters from having access to the Mechanics Bay facility is just plain looney. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12051886

How many of you are really going to pony up and support this altruistic endeavour with cash or resources. Easy to bang on from the sidelines but I just think it’s a journey for fools. That’s my opinion. I’m giving my loot to the members of our community that are in urgent need of cash to just stay alive. Givealittle have a look.

Won’t die wondering what exactly. He perished doing what he loved doesn’t make the moment any better. Go to more funerals than party’s at my stage of life and hearing he died doing what he wanted just seems a bit odd.

This is not a sport and can you please explain how on earth is this a expanding horizon endeavour.

If you look at what Andrew is seeking presently for primary partners in his Swirly World Adventure they are technos with skills that are not essentially sea based. If you sign on and the whole thing descends into disaster are you not assisting or at least contributing if the outcome is not all rosey pictures to his possible demise.

It’s a widow maker journey. Dress it up as much as you like ,man against the elements , climbing my Everest etc but the reality is how many of your whanau would you like to leave awaiting updates scheds if possible for 2 years. Not many if any.

Yup, and before all you closet solo first to climb Everest in the nude and Mariana Trench free divers burst into life can anyone name the present holder of the record for mini circumnavigations without reaching for the google.

Well I am going to firstly ask why and secondly what does he exactly achieve by tempting fate in a seaborne peanut. Personally this one leaves me stone cold and full of fear. He has family and loved ones and he is a extremely old school talent but this proposed endeavour smacks of self indulgent risky behaviour taken to the max. Andrew should look to his perished namesake that train wreck Aussie character who left a weeping widow clutching his empty kayak. Not cool at all.
