Hey Clipper, Not holding up traffic at all. Further down the road there are signs indicating to South bound traffic to use the two right hand lanes. The driver chose to do that earlier rather than later to avoid cutting across 3 or 4 lanes. He also chose that time of day to avoid heavy traffic. Quite safety conscious I would say. . Check out the motorway on most days and you will notice all lanes including the right hand one full and moving at the same speed. Beau over and out.

my sympathy goes out to the facebook community. One tosser suggested 'speeding' yet another suggests 'holding up traffic' even though there isn't any around apart from the guy using his phone to take photos while driving. The photo below the boat photo shows several lanes with lots of cars and trucks in each lane. Should they all be in the left lane ? .

The boat is more photogenic on the port side. Cool photo. Cheers

Cant find it on Facebook. More info please

TOO LATE Sold to a Tauranga buyer. Same guy that owned one of my other boats I built called Thirsty Work. So there goes my last yacht. Going fishing.

Probably need an autohelm

Spank is for sale. Going cheap with some vendor finance. She is as new. Check out 'Pocket Rocket' on Trade Me or give me a call 0274858207

Entries now open for this race. First official entry is Ray Haslars RIKKI from the host club KCC. rumour has it that BooBoo is in for it too. Check out our web site for more information.

Yeah that wasn't the plan but I've decided to do something else so someone could pick up a cheap boat. I think I've mentioned before that I'm a computer dummy so any photos are unlikely unless someone does it for me. Happy to forward a copy of the Boating NZ Review if anyone interested. In saying that, there will be photos on Trade Me when I get round to it.

Spank is my latest creation but a change in circumstances means I am considering selling her. She is 7.7 mtrs long with lifting keel so sits on a trailer when not in use. Less than a year old and still as new. Would consider trade of a vehicle or tinney. Any one interested can call me on 0274 858207

Sorry for the late reply. For some reason I've only just seen this. Send me an email to beaumarine@xtra.co.nz and I will put you in touch. Well worth a look as the price will be OK.

There is a very cheap Elliot ( sister ship to Grunty Chicken ) sitting on the hard in Kerikeri. Only ever used for one season and taken out of the water for family reasons. Sails are as new ( gennaker never been out of the bag ) new engine etc.etc. but the red paint needs attention or a wrap. Has interior but squabs never been covered. There is a bit of tidy up work to do but will be priced rite, much less than $45000. Worth a look for sure. It's not my boat but I am a friend of the owner.
