  1. Covid saved us a minimum of $300m that hosting 2021 APEC was slated to cost so it's not all bad news.
  2. Owned this for 20 years edge butt and glued strip planked no glass built 1970’s did not require any more maintaining than any other yacht that I have owned or seen.
  3. Carvel is generally caulked with cotton and a seam filler that requires replacing whilst edge butted and glued or strip planked does not require the same degree of maintenance.
  4. I think you will find Sina is edge butt and glued. As a testament to Noels skills he cast all the bronze fittings. Hi
  5. Looks to me that TNZ have poked themselves in the eye with a burnt stick regarding the complexity and associated costs of mounting a AC campaign. Without a large social welfare payment from the public purse going offshore is their only other option. Good riddance I say.
  6. 2 litres Interprotect primer with hardener. Ponsonby pick up.
  7. Henleys do a nice remote greaser not cheap though.

  9. True and having spent time on a large stinkpot in a decent sea with that diesel droning on and on and on whilst getting tossed around endlessly the thing I missed the most in comparison from my yacht was the full length lie down snooze grockle read drink socialise cockpit.
  10. These guys http://www.huttonwinches.com/products/service brought the Maxwell tooling and I from memory brought some spare jaws from them.

  12. Engine needs to be running to lift keel.
  13. I has labouring under the misconception that the speed limit had already risen to 40 knots given the AC support craft behaviour.
  14. Cable ferry old as the hills.
  15. Done but crikey had to swap from tablet to computer to register caps lock plus 8 characters and numbers password wtf. Got ominous feeling that this is a done deal going to be like the recent costly Council consultation on rates increases choices which were promptly dismissed and ignored. I'm for 10knots.

  17. Looks painted. Take a sample of your topcoat colour to Wairau Paint Centre and they will colour match and sell you a 2 pack epoxy paint in an aerosol can ready to be applied. Buy a couple if you have a larger area to cover. http://www.wairauvalley.co.nz/stores/wairau-paint-centre
  18. Do you have any details on the Folkboat?
  19. Hah just perusing her vitals refrigeration for 300lbs of meat fuel 500 gallons fresh water 500 gallons 16hp Lister swinging a 24x24 prop with a auxiliary Lister 8hp driving another prop or a 4kva generator both engines ran through a 20 gallon fresh water tank before exiting to a keel cooler for hot water shower. Waihape was no ordinary yacht designed and built by no ordinary character.
