Appears as if ETNZ will now not look for a permanent legacy base at the end of Hobson Wharf. Next question, where does the massive ASB carpark get relocated to.

Interested in knowing where your engine sources it’s fresh air intake from.

That’s a welcome relief to all us armchair diesel mechanics and your wallet.

Dropped into Pah Homestead a while ago and there was a small but delightful display of Magewappa. You rock off to the local Chinese Takeaways and get a feed for the whanau that comes in a friggen plastic container that will outlive humanity in a landfill. Interesting back story to the origins of this woodenware. https://kogeijapan.com/locale/en_US/odatemagewappa/

Lindauer drinkers are not carbon neutral.

Fish you may want to sound viscous about the silt run off but the reality on the ground in this part of the world was plenty evidenced by the recent coastal flooding and resulting land run off. Drove this coast just after the last bad weather and clay run off was everywhere mainly generated by slippage lost to the sea. Have a close look at Puffs Ariel photos and note that the areas most effected are cleared land.

Get a kit and voila you can tackle all sorts of underwater tasks

Louis introduced me to Mr Friendly at 2.40

I have done a bit with wood in my life but nothing like this. The thing that turns my dial, grown men fixing stuff with no airs and graces just skills banked from a life time of experiences No evidence of high levels of life killing stress and little regard for the health and safety nazis that have run amok in my world. You leave a legacy doing this kinda stuff not a pile of loot.

It’s just a helpful option if required. Best have somebody who knows what they are talking about actually look at the engine.

Been watching this as it reminds me of the reason why I own a woody. I have a aversion to accumulating wealth.

With the engine running how much blow by or venting is there from the rocker cover if the oil filler cap is removed. Not the listing I had in mind but not a bad option if you have to swap out your old donk. https://www.trademe.co.nz/business-farming-industry/industrial/engines-motors/diesel/auction-1566696925.htm?rsqid=2b813eb511824908bda2562eb41098e4

Bit of a long shot but up until a couple of days ago there was a complete motor listed on trade me. Otherwise they are a tractor motor and try Norwoods

Been in touch with both Shaw Diesels here and Gardner in England. No issues with supply of parts or servicing from their view.

"if it can be done in a ratepayer acceptable cost" What would be acceptable. Appears like this Cup could end up costing the rate/taxpayer in excess of $250m. ETNZ probably thought that once they had secured and returned with the Poisoned Chalice and completed their countrywide tiki tour that Auckland City ratepayers would drop their financial panties at Dalton and Co's feet and build the Taj Mahal of Cup infrastructure along with accepting to pay a staggering hosting fee. Ahh, happy days they thought. "This is a major land development project, with tight timeframes, paid for by publ

Is that a Farr design. Jack Cropp springs to mind. Could be wrong and would not be the first time.

If I was to pass over to the dark side this looks a cracker. 17000 hrs just run in for a Gardiner 8. Just got to figure out where to keep her. https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1543795041

Yup, modest yachts this size are a great buy. This one fits on a 10m marina which is not yet out of this world rental cost wise just yet. Fits the whole family or easy single hander, I think Chris D,s dad Roy has one. Balanced not tender and well sorted by the looks of things. What are the options here in Euro yogurt pots that size not many if any thank god.

As a old log of wood owner it is sad to see the Stewart looking like that. However I noticed recently that the Lady Gay launch has gone off for birthday or so I hope and she was a bit ruff too. I have seen some amazing restorations and the boating is much the better for the brave and hearty souls that undertake these marine resurrections. One that springs to mind is the recent relaunch of Cotton BlossomV / Revery renamed Revocet. There are some pics on Waitemata Woodys and she looks stunning.

"behave and there is no issue" Hear that quite a lot around my house.

Pretty much everything is registered one way or another. Gives new immigrants jobs along with revenue grabbing for the Council issuing parking infringements on The Lords day.

Try the company you have as a household insurer. Love the Westhaven mandatory $5 million third party requirement when I questioned the ludicrous amount the reply was that's our insurers advice. Christ my 10m old woody would have to wipe out a few marina fingers to qualify that claim.

Nice arse and I would buy it just for the Wilkies. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/auction-1560647143.htm A minter from DT and she sails beautifully. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/auction-1549350187.htm

"A Maratimo 60 planing past 100 metres away is far worse" Try a 84ft stinkpot twat thundering full tit down the harbour a couple of weekends ago. Spilt my organic muesli all over the cockpit.
