Another bit of spin really with no names.
Sounds to me like Mark Dunphy is Fays drummer boy.

When I studied electrical engineering some 40 years ago some mechanical engineer students built a ram-jet driven bicycle. Think Nazi buzz-bomb engine mated to bicycle frame. I never saw it in action but I heard it. It was VERY noisy.

Laid out measurements are 1150mm wide and 1350mm long if you want to compare with your existing bag.

The dinghy size is 2.4? I have a similar bag, well attacked by UV, for my 2.7 zodiac. Assume it wont work?
Width would be ok but not sure of length as our dinghy was 2.4m but you are welcome to try.

Always wondered where Nick got the inspiration for his AC75 flat shoed keelson from.
Not that it proved to be that fast nearly 100 years on.

Went round to Roger Freeths place when I was a teenager to get some advice on the merits of building a bike for the track, I had boxes of H2r engine and bike parts, but never had the money to finish the project, probably just as well! Got spat of the road H2 several very painful times in the 70's!!! Think he he'd just finished racing TZ750's at the time. He was a really smart, helpful guy, a great loss when he passed.

That is an old price list you have shown Priscilla.
Prices went up in June (as they must every year), so the 10m has gone up from $651 to $728 in two years. An 11.8% increase. 😪
You're correct there Elly, crikey a 10m is now $8742 a year when I quit the boat it was getting pretty rough cost wise now a whole bunch rougher.

LOA unfortunately. I might nab that space at St Heliers while its free. $14000 a year times 10 years and boat is paid for.
At 50ft loa you will be up for $17000 a year at Westhaven Lidgard and Co measure to the millimetre.
What would be your insurance status and ability to live aboard long term be swinging from anchor in the confines of the Auckland harbour.

Do like this guy hang from anchor been doing it for years with Peter Blakes old ride Archangel C&C67ft off St Heliers beach.

I'd like an Ocean Tender, but way to pricey for me, and I'd really need a bigger boat to put it on deck!
MCP was looking for light weight and easily rowed which the Ocean Tender is not actually it’s pretty disappointing at the 9k minimum cost if you are looking for those usability features as a go to cruising tender.

Hey it looks like you saved some loot by recycling the fenders and wheels so don’t moan could of been a lot worserer

Today I learned a new rule that only becomes important when single handed. Always store the spare toilet paper in the bathroom, not under a bunk 40 feet away.
Small boats have their advantages.

Any advice for the television challenged to keep up with the play?
Try this you have to navigate a bit of pop up advertising but usually all good just change stream to find one that works.
