but other than caulking they have the same maintenance burdens? And risks of worm etc? just wondering why he'd have chosen traditional construction over eg triple skin, glassed.
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.

What are the maintenance differences between Carvel and edge butted and glued?
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.

Plus a carvel hull in the 1990's ?? gawd if you are a fanatic wood- o- phile at least do strip plank or cold moulded.
I think you will find Sina is edge butt and glued.
As a testament to Noels skills he cast all the bronze fittings.

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.

But who in their right mind would want a powerboat?
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.

I have this non self tailing two speed sheet winch that lost its top cap. There are no identifying marks on any part of it - I’ve taken it completely apart. Any help identifying the make of winch and possibly from where a replacement cap could be obtained would be appreciated.
These guys http://www.huttonwinches.com/products/service brought the Maxwell tooling and I from memory brought some spare jaws from them.

Engine needs to be running to lift keel.

I has labouring under the misconception that the speed limit had already risen to 40 knots given the AC support craft behaviour.

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.

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.

She looks much more balanced in her original ketch setup. Nice early big volume cruiser.

Covid saved us a minimum of $300m that hosting 2021 APEC was slated to cost so it's not all bad news.
