Then how would they charge thousands per spectator boat?
(Seriously though I can see how that could be a problem with cheeky boaties just drifting along at a few knots, possibly spoiling the view for paid spectators or even causing race control issues if they leave the corridor)
Mate has a mooring near the bridge,bayswater side,Hmm could go and stay the weekend on it for free,providing we got there by 7.00am?
Quickly find new friends who live in Devon park with harbour views?

First race Thursday in case weather problems later, but the harbour master wont allow closure of the harbour ?
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.

They have a board of directors. Elected members get nominated by member clubs and are voted in at the AGM by the member clubs. Board members have a 3 year term.
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.

Noting you can anchor in any CAN you want at any time as per the CAN notice, Schedule 2, Clause 1 (c)
"no other alternative safe sheltering locations or mooring can be easily acquired"
Oh, and the reason MPI has given for allowing anchoring in the Waiheke CAN is because the caulerpa is dieing off naturally. Who would have thought nature would just sort itself out? Just like fan worm and the other 2 dozen or so invasive species that are listed at the moment.
Died off or just stopped looking for it?

Yeah agree, and I am not saying stop sailing in boats with booms lower to the deck - but there has been a spate of these type of accidents, and just wondering if any design rule or something re the boom height - could be implemented.....
Have seen more novice crews standing in coiled jib/kite sheets.Had one young ,not enough turns on winch.Puts hand in to hold.Yep figers turn around winch. simple mistakes but could be costly

Absolute tragedy, and my deepest sympathies to the unfortunate sailor's families.
Are we able to design rigs with booms higher than the average persons height standing in the cockpit - maybe 1.90M+ ?I can get run over crossing the rd if Im not carefull,where do you stop? Accidents happen in all walks of life. work/sport

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

Third party should be compulsory. Third party does not cover you if some uninsured boat takes you out. so, first statement.
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.

That would be inconsistent with requirements of owning a car.
Should be condition of owning a yacht/motorboat/car etc minimum 3rd party. Exactly as I wrote it.Car is in the sentence
Key word is "should"

Sails drives seem to to be a major concern,hit something and you a large hole,continually here seals leak,cannot see how they would be less drag than a folding prop on a shaft with a strut. For the price you would expect them to be built proof.

Thinking about using KiwiGrip on the Morby sole is it possible to refine the finish ie less stipple?
Depends on how much pressure you put on roller. Have a play first. It's good stuff the grip.had it on cockpit floor now 2 yrs holding up well.
