  1. I want to paint the deck on my hans christian 38, lots of teak so not that much deck....   I want to use a non solvent water based polyurethane.  But i want a high gloss white finish, will be mainly brushed.

     

    What brand?     I like the look of the altex elite but don't really want the solvent hassles is it worth it, can you get same finish with water based.

  2. ok if I wanted to build a carbon fibre sphere, say about 800mm diameter, lets say I had a mould (1/2 sphere....) how much would it cost to make each one in materials...   doesnt have to take much load, for the inside of a custom globe....

     

    question 2 , what would be best material for the mould??? 

     

  3. also from those who have ac systems onboard....  how much did your eWof cost you?  

     

    I am a 120V boat, I feed 240 into a full isolating step down transformer then into the boat via a decent system,  from there charge 12V run fridges etc etc...

  4. hi, I normally berth on piles in Tamaki river, but have been offered a berth at Westhaven for a while, I need insurance,  I don't want to get a full survey done etc,  what are my options, feel free to ring me on 021 380 611 Peter

  5. I keep my boat up at Panmure there are a lot of idiot mustang power boat owners that blast past you doing 10 knots , almost every trip....

     

    I fully support robust enforcement of 5 knot speed limit

  6. Have a Harken that needs a new bearing, but it must be 30 years old,   I rate it.  Not cheap but quality normally is expensive.  On a 12ton 45ft boatr

  7. turn it over and sprey hits of CRC engine start into the air intake....  remove air filter...  you will get minor knocking   but the engine will actually run this way

     

     

    I can bleed me Perkins 4108 this way and they are bastards to manually bleed

  8. CRC engine start goes a long way in situations like this,  I always carry 2 cans just in case, has save my ass offshore, the comment about a good battery is spot on, more amps = higher compression = easier starting every time.

  9. i have coloured things in my chain every 10m....
