Tazzy Devil

Fohn cloud same as the south islands Norwest arch only on a smaller scale.

Navico advised against going wireless as the mast is 15.6m and the receiver couldn't easily mount on deck as it's all a working surface - when I spoke to them. The plan was to avoid having to run the backbone into and out of the mast display bracket as that would involve two splices and more holes in the mast plus fishing wire through - doable but the Garmin option was easier as I could hook the blackbox to a drop off the backbone at the mast base and leave only the one cable (backbone) going into the mast bracket. Only have to manually enter the MHU offset (which I have the number - 2 deg

Basically the mast was too tall for wireless and I wanted to terminate the backbone in the mast display box so couldn’t have it terminating at the Masthead. If it hadn’t been for the PBO article claiming it would work I would have gone all b and g drilled more holes in the mast etc. it’s done now though. I have a plan now so will try to sort it after checking in with Garmin. Thanks heaps!

Yeah lone Garmin MHU on. B and G system as the gwind was the only option that fitted my network plan. I will try to borrow a unit to do the calibration, don’t want to buy one if I can help It.

Data is all coming through but, yeah offsets aren't storing anywhere. Will see if there is a trick to get it to work a PBO article says it should be no issue. If not I'll try and borrow a Garmin plotter I guess to store the offsets in the TDX (as thats where Garmin says it is stored).

Anyone had any issues calibrating using triton 2 displays? I have a Garmin wind sensor and heading sensor both N2K but for whatever reason my Triton2 displays won't store calibration offsets. overseas reviews say the should work together fine. All the literature says N2K is N2K so was wondering if this was a b and g thing or am I missing something? Try to store offsets (heading and MHU) and the displays think about it for a bit then say failed storing offsets. Will call B and G tomorrow and Garmin but just wondering if anyone else had these issues - it could be a defective unit

Ropes and blocks stuffed, tramps sketchy and no real sign of any maintenance so nah definitely not jump on and go.

Twisted Sisters was a whole heap of work when I looked 12months ago, fittings mostly stuffed and a hole in the side that hadn’t had attention in a very long time. Would look at it if it was free as a project.

Y More than welcome to raft up! Pretty excited now! Be good to see what you have done to the Meany.

Thanks but I found a breakwater berth at Bayswater which will work for a few days! Not long now and the new toy gets to stretch it’s legs a bit!

Sorry should have mentioned 10.5m berth minimum needed. Thanks!

Thanks,! DST 800 is too wide. The current tdx is a st850 speed -h. According to air mar the 2k st850 will retrofit. Unfortunately they are not all that common. I’ve ordered one, just hope it arrives in a timely fashion.

Just thought I'd ask on here first, has anyone got an empty berth in Auckland they aren't using that could be Hired for the week before the Coastal? Prefer Bayswater or Westhaven but would look at anything. Cheers!

Nah, it's definitely all coming through,I think the Triton can only calibrate smart transducers, there's processor on the network now. I'm hoping there's a way to calibrate in display but if not it's try to find a retrofit smart insert. If not that it's a bloody haul and fit a new TDX.

Have a couple of questions regarding electronics. I've just uninstalled a b and G H2000 system and replaced with NMEA 2000 Tritons and Vulcans. I went to a 2k wind setup and heading sensors but to avoid a a haul out ran the B and G analogue Speed and depth transducers (2 seperate transducers) through a DST-2 to convert to 0183 and then AT10 to 2K. The depth works fine but I can only set offsets in display, no biggie. The tritons are refusing to calibrate speed, and there is no in display option. So questions: Is there a trick I'm missing? or: Is there a speed only 2k option tha

Tazzy Devil is now a Whangarei boat, not my place to say where Meanie is heading..,,

E 10.5, loads of room, fun to sail and does more than 6 knots.

Yep 10.5 long and soooo roomy

Yes, she's sold.

Thanks heaps guys but found a boat that I am decidedly happy with, which means Auckland might get another 930 in it's fleet and I've got a bit of work on my hands with the new toy (ended up with a more modern design than a Stewart or 1104).

I just have the basic chart and haven’t played with it to much - haven’t use dock to dock. Do love the race features though.

Yep, I have a Vulcan 7, fed wind and depth/speed via Advansea 0183 gear running a tp22. At the mfd I can set course, steer to wpt or to wind (app or true), I can also set tack/ gybe angle and initiate tacks or gybes. Also on the network is a Garmin unit downsteers where I can set course and wpt but not wind. Can see wind data and trends etc though. Easy to switch between sailsteer and ap control. Awesome piece of kit the Vulcan is.

I'm not planing on a monster refit but am thinking rigging, blocks, clutches, halyards, Nav gear, Cat 1 gear and maybe one or two big items (bottom Job, engine, mast) maybe deck paint and vinyl wrap. Will strip my current boat for parts before selling as theres a heap of new stuff on there that can be swapped for the servicable but not so new stuff in my garage and doing that won't effect performance or resale very much at all (but is probably going to save $5-10K at the chandlery. Quite a bit will be DIY and can be done on water at a work berth. Keep sailing the boat as that will

Seen the Contessa 32's - probably a touch small and while I understand they are impressive vessels offshore for the size, They look a bit cramped inside and I do want to still be A division in the club racing, while i get ready to go. A S34 or Farr 1104 will do that. Anyone have any advice on Farr 1020's or 38's too. Few of them could be options.

From what I can see boat prices are still falling or boats aren't moving. For the right boat stretching the refit budget to $100 odd K would work. I just want to get a boat and sail it then chip away at getting it right. Seen a heap of the fancy AWB's with stuff like TV's, full size fridges, 2 heads etc which I don't want. Revolution on trademe has got me interested as a boat to start with haven't got too far into it but it may need a new engine at some stage. Wild Thing is up here now and is why an 1104 has my interest. If I didn't have a wife who would join me once up there
