If sound waves were to or did work. We could resurrect the Navy degaussing buoys in the tiri channel??
Only knew of one vessel that was in the panmure river that tried the sound wave thing. It all it did was those in close proximity chew thru zincs,could never prove t was the wires hanging overboard but once it dissapeared so did the chewing of zincs.The average time was 4 months on a block.

Ah not many on committee boat this time, and yes we were dead in line with the ODM , to observe accurately, many of the miscreants have privately admitted that they were OCS but not pinged so carried on .....
Wonder why so many not racing now days. Now you know what you are up against and if like me(tried to be smart) you would get pinged. Not just yachting,ruby forward passes,high tackles etc
Was at a radio yacht race many yrs ago,RO called contact,they were further up the track and couldnt see. It was 2 of us luffing and as r/c yachts jump it looked like contact, me and the other guy were behind our boats,niether did penalty as no contact,took it to the race committee and was told RO has final say and we were both disqualified. Rest of day sat on bank and drunk beer in protest.

Did you seek redress?
62.1.A request for redress or a protest committee’s decision to consider redress shall be based on a claim or possibility that a boat’s score or place in a race or series has been or may be, through no fault of her own, made significantly worse by- an improper action or omission of the race committee, protest committee, organizing authority, equipment inspection committee or measurement committee for the event, but not by a protest committee decision when the boat was a party to the hearing

Most of those trailers don't have Keel Rollers. They are float on trailers completely without rollers...
All well and good if you have a step ramp or want to submerge trailer,how many are fitted with bearing buddies,slight pressure on grease to help keep water out of bearings?
-
why not remove the side supports and fit wobbles on,can still have keel on plank or change to rollers.Not hard job or overly enpensive,wobbles positioned correctly will keep boat on main keel rollers.

New rules if I have interpreted right. 7 snapper 3 kings 5 kahawai 5gurnard?? as previous wa 7 snapper 3 kings 10 kahawai 10 gurnard 20 bag limit + allownce on species. Stops the plunder of pink maomao only 20 now instead of unliited.
https://www.mpi.govt.nz/consultations/review-of-recreational-daily-bag-limits-for-finfish/
For example, a fisher in the Auckland/Kermadec, Central or Challenger areas can take three kingfish and up to 17 other finfish to make up their daily limit of 20.

Death of the scallops: How a Kiwi delicacy was driven to the brink of collapse
The scallop industry went from a booming moneymaker to a near standstill in the space of just 10 years. Fishing groups point the finger at environmental degradation, while marine advocates and iwi blame destructive fishing techniques. Ryan Anderson reports.
Kaipara closed 5yrs no sign of recovery, top of the south no recovery and it will be the same for gulf/northland, why??Toheroa havent recovered in over 30yrs closure, too many people,allowonces to high
https://interactives.stuff.co.nz/2022/seasick-saving-hauraki-gulf/
Got 2 hrs to waste have listen,still no answers and will still be talking in 20yrs time,recc v comm v greenies. Bit like we need a bus stop but not outside my place. Local Govt or The fisheries minister need too step up and just say its closed as of now ,no taking zone 5yrs.

Nonsense.
Type 401 - inflatable
Achieves buoyancy by either a:
- water-activated switch
- manual pull cord
May include a mouthpiece
Designed to keep the wearer vertical during unconsciousness
Comfortable and convenient to wear at all times
Must provide 150 newtons of buoyancy
Guidelines for inflatable lifejackets
Download nationally agreed guidelines to help choose the right inflatable lifejacket, and know how and when to service it.
disagree with you but thats fine,personal choice

Have read a lot about PDFS and most countries consider them as an aid rather than a lifesaver. Never owned never will,forced to wear one once and never again.
Why muck around blowing in to tube or pulling a string ,when in the water I want something that works straight away even if unconscience.Yes may say inflate automatic,but do they in time of need.Below is just one example of many coastguard etc
https://www.boatus.org/life-jackets/types
Currently, there aren't any Coast Guard approved Type I inflatable PFD's available to the general public.Good for protected, inland water near shore, where chances of immediate rescue is good. Not suitable for extended survival in rough water. Will turn SOME unconscious wearers face-up in water. Poor performer in rough water, often requires you to tread water in order to keep your head above water.

The idea of a lifejacket is to a roll an unconscience person to their back and lift head out of water. Which INFLATABLES do not.
