  1. If you cant catch a decent feed of fish in inner gulf look at your fishing skills or where you fish.Plenty around and dont keep blaming commercial. 4 trawlers operate in the Hauraki gulf and on average extract 100/120 snapper per trawl and its mid water trawling not bottom. Take 100 boats fishing flat rock and take 2 fish each every weekend you do the maths. Last time out we caught nil on the bottom but found snapper only 10m down in 40m of water.They are not constant bottom feders as would lead you to believe.
  2. HaHa.What are you trying say,no snapper about?Plenty around now ,not in the sizes we were once a customed too,but if any good with a knife and utilize whole fish a 330mm is plenty for 1
  3. Well under budget there AD missed out yard fee. + haul out fee digger and truck $300 ph or more,we are not talking tonka truck or digger. Disposal of concrete could be free if they took to recycle yard in drury,it gets used in roading/constuction https://www.vernondevelopments.co.nz/aggregate-recycling/
  4. One up panmure owner gave Auckland harbour master $500 to dispose of vessel,steel roberts 45ft ish Wouldnt even the cost of the tow to the yard.
  5. Depending on size of area may stick out like the perverbal dog b#$.s Remember gel goes on first in a mould then glassed up. I did a small patch and colour matching was a pain theres white and theres white. in the end resin n paint. Next time will look at durepox,apparently adheres well.
  6. Maybe the old ammunition wharf just south of Maraetai,parking be a issue.
  7. Late 70s a small group of us at school were constantly getting detention for failing to turn up to Wednesday afternoon sports. A new teacher arrived and took the time to find out why werent attendiung. Next minute it was arranged to met at beach at 1.00pm till 3.00pm to sail our P/,sailing dinghies etc none of us went on to greater things . Typical rugby based high school.
  8. I raced a r/c iom in those regattas. Think it was Frank Reevy from up Whangaparoa way that organized sponsor. Got some plaques here somewhere.
  9. Have found his website,can I take a photo and send it to get a rough estimate??Handy East Tamaki and has a yard to drop trailer boat off.
  10. What about the person who walked the on ramp at Mt Roskill,3 cars run them over and none stopped https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/541177/man-killed-on-auckland-s-southwestern-motorway-struck-by-three-cars-police

  12. just swap out jackets,best option

  14. 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
  15. 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.
  16. I have 4 of these virtually new with crotch straps,not as bulky as you think but instant floatation,no wondering if it will work or not.

    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.
  22. Saving lives over rule saving vessel I presume?
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. Depending on access use a absorbent pad
