    Mike Rees has the mould, it is the latest bulb the ross 930's have been getting No Worries and the entertainer and Mike is using the same bulb on his own ross 930.

     

    The story is that its a greg elliott bulb and was the first bulb for overload elliott 30SS and then they changed to a lighter bulb

    I can talk to the guy who built mine amd see if he is interested. We have the laser cutters just up the road from him who could cut all the frames and then he can weld it all together.

     

    I have all the cut files for the fin. I can also get some fairing boards to help with the fairing.

     

    My thought is unless you have the ability to spray paint yourself vinyl wrapping would be alot cheaper. Spray painting is a bit of an art and will giver you a better finish but for alot more coin?

     

    I dont believe you will get a good finish with an airless spray gun? I could be wroung but that is what i heard.

    Cruising with kids

    We have since found out she had a virus and was just recovering after we got back. A few doctors appointments later they worked that out so wondering if it was just a coincidence. It was a fairly comfortable trip home 110 awa and the swell was going with us so was pretty smooth amd made for a quick trip.

    She went very limp and then spewed up, and has never spewed like that before. She then had a sleep and was very energetic after that. It is the only time i have seen her lile that so thought it may be seasickness?

    Just wondering if there is anything suitable for a 9 month old to help with sea sickness. Our little one got sick on the way back from barrier first time, have been kauwau and waiheke a few times and she has been fine so would just like to have something if she gets sick again

    Fresh water, salt water

    We live quite far up weiti river so would imagine we get a fair bit of fresh water flow. On a stretch we get 12months from 2 coats of anti foul and it is screwed and all worn through. We do alot of racing so the boat gets cleaned (with a sponge) every race which averages out about a clean every fortnight which probably doesnt help with the wear of the antifoul.

    Nearly as good as taking a packed lunch to the launching ramp

    Last night we were victim to an unlit lauch trying to manouver through the bay and luckily i was on anchor watch and saw this launch heading straight for us and not slowing down, i jumped into the cockpit and yelled at them they were only 10meters away doing about 4 knots i heard the engines suddenly hit full reverse but was to late hit our port quarter luckily we have a solid aluminium toe rail so that took the impact and bent a stauchen.

     

    They proceeded to yell back telling me to go back to bed and then buggered off. Never asked if we were ok didnt check if there was damage or anything, unfortunately didnt get the name of the launch but was pretty scary when you have an 8 month old baby onboard amd have crazy ppl like that on the water.

    Upgrading boat. Opinions wanted

    I own Meister which is a challenge 29, we have recently modified it and has become very competitive, we just recently won the ssanz triple series sport boat division whith 1 line honours amd 2 thirds. If you are interested in modifying your current boat check out my facebook page for all the work we did https://m.facebook.com/Meister963/?ref=bookmarks. Has alot more room for cruising than ross 930's with competitive performance also has lift keel which is perfect for shallow draft moorings. Just an idea

    I was the bowman, I let my dad do the easy job! I didn't really have much to say, after putting up and pulling down 3 kites in a short time i was to knackered and just got the job done.

     

    Was fun, tiring and bloody expensive on the old wallet!

    A Small video taken from Meister last Weekend.

     

    Didn't have the camera on when the carnage happened. We managed to blow out the masthead and fractional kite and also snapping the pole in half =/.

     

    Hope you enjoy it.
