  1. Is Auckland in for another big blow?? Vacant land in wiri manukau.Has hundreds of red gulls.blackbacks sitting as though waiting for something to happen
  2. Well said but one point missing,is the racing yacht fraternity which think its there god given right (in some cases) expect those anchored.Be it in a yacht or powerboat,to pull pick so they can continue sailing out of the tide so not having to go about and there is also those running under kite,creating a wake sliding down the side,less than 50m doing more than 5knts. Faults on both sides. Guess the blame game needs its own thread.
  3. Go for a swim and jam a potato in the exhausr
  4. I have trailer stink boat.why time constraints.Yacht would sit on mooring unused for 2 to 3 months unused.Trailer boat in backyard cost nothing.would like a trailer sailer but can't be arsed rigging it for 2 to 3 hrsuse.there us a handy compound at kkb but need to live south of the Bombay's. No beers until home and majority of catch is given away to elderly neighbours.Who can afford $50 kg for snapper??
  5. Non event south of manukau.norhibg in Papakura/te awamutu/Otorohanga/Huntly.Just annoying drizzle.Se don't bring much rain/wind southern districts.
  6. Looks like next Saturday/Sunday break,then start the cycle all over again but not as server?
  7. I believe there is no anchoring in Okahu bay due to the re seeding mussel programme ,quick search confirms. The area where the mussels are located in Okahu Bay are marked with orange inflatable marks. Based on this, there is to be absolutely no anchoring in this area, as doing so will damage the work that has been done to get the mussels in position.21/12/2021
  8. which would give you the best ride? one way going forwards the other way backwards.Still covering ground? Only read/heard the theory of use.
  9. On netflix now.About a young (16) yr old girl do a solo round the world trip. Sydney to imaginary mark on the Equator down to cape horn,acroos cape of good hope up to mark Indian Ocean around outside Tasmania back to Sydney. 270 days?Nice yacht "pink Lady" Not much of a film but I have question. Big seas,bare poles,with a drogue out. Do you run it from the bow so head to wind. She ran it out off the stern and Im thinking waves would push her around and water be inclined to mount transom. https://www.1news.co.nz/2023/02/07/jessica-watsons-true-spirit-re-inspiring-13yrs-after-solo-glo
  10. But thats what the entry instructions already had..
  11. Haul out/hard stands fees probaly killed the sale? Cant meet insurance?? How do you get insurance/inspected by surveyor while in water?
  12. I thought be best seeing how the tugs couldnt tow in to the wind,way tow back to picton?
  13. And I help subsidize it.hahs.keep going as long as you can.When the old man came ashore yep lasted 6 months
  14. I read advert on TM,stern gland leaking. That can be replace packing to replacing stern tube nd you know till vessel lifted. Wont be spending 25k?? soon adds up
  15. Need it to be hauled out or even rent a marina now days. Not just hull for survey/rig and sails + motor Not idea what sails cost today but a new main and jib 6 yrs ago was close to $5k rig?? 26ft.
  16. $400/500 pw hard stand fees + repairs unless you can get it home. Work out the costs to fix + haul out fees. Remember its only a $1 reserve so will go for a lot more,might be better off buying existing,one that you sail now.
  17. See its still pending.Hmm not a worthy cause i n the eye of Give a little?? once its approved then would donate.
  18. Why not petition the council along the lines of sports fields are upgraded etc for free ramps are our sports field. Once again wake up and realise we are a minority sport and viewed as elite. Good on you for trying but I will not be financially supporting already paying to use AK ramps etc
  19. Where was AYBA at the start?? suddenly realised to loose members and $$. give a little page is still pending as to whether it meets requirements.
  20. Why werent they there at the start?? Oh sh*t this might effect us or we might loose members.Yeah right
  21. Seems strange sort of a requirement to me.Yes when entering a marina or slipping,but how many local vessels on moorings with nil insurance?? I found out the hard way several yrs ago,vessel that took us out,nil insurance and comment from owner,go "F" yourself. Had to make claim on mine,dont know if they ever chased him up.
  22. 1. Complete the Advance Notice of Arrival (ANA) for all craft travelling to NZ as required under the Customs and Excise Act 2018 The small craft/yachts Advance Notice of Arrival (ANA) form (DOC 284 KB) needs to be completed by the owner/master of the vessel and sent to us at least 48 hours before arrival in New Zealand territorial waters – 12 nautical miles. The ANA is a mandatory legal document required and the owner/master is liable to prosecution for not submitting the ANA in the required timeframe and for not providing the ANA in the specified form and manner. Other doc
  23. We were intersted in a house over looking tauranga harbour late last yr,GV 1.8m,We thought y the time we organise finance etc it would sell well above,If was in the AK viaduct it would be easy 4/5m. After a bit searching found a oncil website that showed errosion rates for area,they gave it a orange status of 80 yrs before it would be unstable and condeemed. Sold for 1.3m. Maybe time for agents to disclose this sort of stuff. As ex shore boy,Dad always said only time (1970s)before the houses along the narrow neck/st leonards region fell.so far holding up. Bit of a surprise about shore r
  24. Strange thing,dug in some chillies today in papakura,50mm down dry as heck. Thats a major concern there Physce
