Kick Ass

Have Been told there is a rubbish Barge but where is it located? Or where is the best place to dispose rubbish?

Expect a minium of a 1 boat dollar bill.....

The end of it is attached to the thermostat end.

Should be clamped to one of the pipes.

Spring is your thermostat

Will be a sticky txv valve, went through this on Kick, spent way to much money on the system so ditched it all for 12V havnt had a problem since. Possibly wind the valve in and out a few times to free it up?

This is what we built for Kick Elliott 1050. Since this one there have also been 2 more made for Sniper and Enigma 1. We cruise with anchor in place while flying zeros and A sails.

As soon as an NZ boat is sold offshore GST has to be paid by new owner when returning.

But there is no duty payable for an NZ built boat.

Good luck trying that. Tried that exact thing and boat all but got chained to the customs dock until GST was paid. I tried pulling the wool over their eyes but think I wasn't the first to try that as they knew what questions to ask.

Tracker should be part of your entry fee.

Would be great to have boat names posted with their design as there is alot of new boats!

As per title, if anyone has one in the garage no getting used would be interested in buying. Just a small unit as it is for a staysail on the 1050.

We rounded the king's 15minutes behind Omega, unfortunately don't do upwind like she does, they did superbly well!

Thanks, I have plenty of lead but want it in shot. I have a plan to make some diy lead shot 🤞

It's Top Secret.....

Anyone know where I could source 100kg of lead shot? Will most likely have close to 100kg of lead to trade in if that is a thing?

Kick an Elliott 1050 28 years old and only have a handful of small jobs on the list and that includes nice to haves. 2 years of hard work got us to this stage and we now use her most weekends and the family love it! She was a mess we we first bought her....

Had the same gear on Kick and sounds identical problems that I had, did my head in so gave up on it and installed a NAC 3.

I will contact Graham before making any moves to make sure I get this right. Im not after 120amp, would be more than happy with an 80amp if there was a direct bolt on replacement.

Am running a mastervolt external reg. The direct replacement 120amp alt has a single belt, will give it ago. Not opposed to upgrading pulleys but won't do it if I don't have to. Biggest worry was going from 55amps to 120amps if there was any consequences.

That's is good to know, have been told in the past can boil the batteries if trying out to many amps in.

We currently have a noisy bearing in the Alternator, fortunately we have a spare to borrow for the Xmas cruise to get us through. As we run 12V fridge and freezer I thought this would be a good excuse to go with a bigger alternator. Currently we have the standard 55amp alt with approx 250ah of house battery (will have to double check this next time I'm at the boat). At an initial search for a straight bolt on upgrade it jumps to 120amp. Is that to big for my application? Should I be trying to find something around 80amp?

We are keen, and given we will be Cat2 for three Kings would be a waste to not get another cat 2 race under our belt while everything is up to date!

Also still on the original elbow 27 years old and going strong.
