    Doug Harrison from MMYC built Wizzard along with it's sistership Tarantala?? He is still actively sailing Wizzard and may know the whereabouts of the other one which has some name changes, Andy

    Thanks Andy,

    Possibly Tarantala is now Seasphrey that sold last year?

    I have a pole that is surplus to requirements, you can take the ends off that and junk the tube if you so desire. Where are you located.

    We are located in Whangaparaoa.

    Would you be able to send a photo of the ends?

     

    Thanks

    Caught in this as well, so I am asking the obvious lazy question - is it actually absolutely required to scrape back the old Warpaint?

    Assuming the normal prep for a like-on-like over-coating is completed, would there be a problem just overcoating the old Warpaint with a different ablative eg #5?

     

    I reached out to Altex and they said would need to remove before putting #5 on.

     

    We put Warpaint over Vivid Petit and the adhesion isn't the best.

     

    When we get barnacles it pulls Warpaint off down to the vivid.

    Hotdogger Locked and loaded for tomorrow. Packed start line in the Safety at Sea division- 45+ boats!

    Looks like enough breeze to make it back to Eden Park in time for the game 😅

    Or not 🤣

    Very few boats have left our river

    So far we have had a few showers of rain on Friday and cleared by about 1pm.

    Had a nice sail over to Waiheke yesterday and have had no more than 10knots of wind in our bay.

    Today has been perfect nice sunny day 👍.

    Looks like there is a brand new Elliott doing the race - Liquid Luck.

     

    Will be interesting to see how she goes, think she might be a canting version.

  7. Is there anyone on here that could help with the diameter of the crank on a yanmar 3gm30f for the front and rear man seals?

    Am wanting to get some speedy sleeves to fixe oil leaks but need the diameter to order the correct sleeves?

    Any help would be appreciated

    Our river is about half a meter above normal and a big high tide due after midnight. Could get ugly for some houses.

    Interesting the current is running out an hour or more after low water 

    Further up the river by the old Stevies yard 15knots was clocked on the speedo, big rooster tail coming off their rudders.

     

    Unfortunately a big piling barge dragged and struck their pole damaging it then impact into their hull leaving a big crack and marks all down one side before dissapearing off to stillwater where it struck some more boats before it was secured!

    Spent the morning rescuing 2 boats from broken piles...

     

    Mother nature can be bloody brutal!

  9. With the forecasted rain and wind it wasn't worth us staying out with young kids onboard! So we have just made the trip back from Te Kouma to Gulf Harbour in 3 hours 40 minutes, was pretty wild out there but thankfully we were going with the wind! Top speed of 14knots and average of almost 9knots, boat felt like a heavy tug boat as we were provisioned for another 10days on the water.

     

    We may head out again for a few days if this weather clears up!
