    How did they ever win the AC. Total embarrassment.

  5. 1840 The first Auckland Regatta was held on the day the city was founded, 18 September 1840, the day that Captain Hobson's officials raised the flag and 11 years before the first America's Cup contest was sailed in 1851. That first regatta on the Waitemata Harbour was an impromptu three-race event that took place after representatives of Lieutenant Governor William Hobson rowed ashore from the barque Anna Watson and took formal possession of the site in the name of Queen Victoria. A report in The New Zealand Advertiser and Bay of Islands Gazette of 24 Sept
  6. We towed to boat to Coro town last week and caught a sh#t load of Snapper late afternnoon, got talking to a harvester who said where to go and he came past and shook the lines were we tied to. Did it 3 days for us and cost 1doz well worth talking to those guys working the farms,not all farms hold decent fish. Only boat from Coro town.Brilliant.

    Nor should the Harbour be closed at anytime of the gp. There should be a corridor that harbour uses can use,what about coming back from xmas cruise etcWouldnt be hard to have 100m corridor out from the wharves or shore side 100m lout from a line oss stanley pt to northern bridge pylon for those up under bridge.
  13. Saving lives over rule saving vessel I presume?
  14. How are the board of directors voted in? If so many disgruntled with YNZ why not hold a vote of no confidence placed through clubs? But then again how many members would stick their hand up to fill positions? Have this in a non boating club,plenty moaning but when time comes to stick hand up many just sit on them.
  15. How is YNZ committee selected? Voted in by clubs or individuals? All I know their role is to govern racing but who actually swlwcted the committe can it be changed annually or is it lifetime role? Old boys club at work.
  16. Depending on access use a absorbent pad

  23. Elderly friend recently paid the AK harbour master $500 to have vessel removed and cut in to scrap,steel roberts 45ft roughly.$500 token gesture to true cost to cut up. Then you Jason trying to selling this for gold,was $500 now $1500 https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/listing/5049770568
  24. When we had a totasl loss,the vessel that broke its mooring and dragged on to mine.In the process,share weight,my mooring let go. Asked if they could retrieve money from other even though uninsured. Act of god came in to play.
