Why werent they there at the start?? Oh sh*t this might effect us or we might loose members.Yeah right

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.

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

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

Strange thing,dug in some chillies today in papakura,50mm down dry as heck. Thats a major concern there Physce

Yet we missed out here Papakura(Rosehill) was out most of Friday chasing Carp. Bit damp but nothing major What I do not understand is how Metserv didnt issue a rain warning earlier. The info was there. Predict wind on Wednesday showed for Friday 70mm ph at Te kouma with NE 25 Hence why we cancelled out Wednesday night for Friday.

Yes thats problem down Gisborne way.Think they are going to look at how forestry can clean up after felling..All that silt is going to smoother beds(seafood) Did a early morning trip (5.00am) Ponui to Collville bay hit a tree trunk ,luckly only doing 3 knts,towing kahawai lure,reported with co ordinates as we sure werent able to tow it.

I would not by a hook 2 even for depth use only, Can set shallow water or deep and yeah showing 10m in 40m, save your money or spend $100 more on a garmin striker https://www.burnsco.co.nz/12v-electrical/electronics/fishfinders-chartplotters/garmin-striker-4-plus-gps Excellent little unit,gps,tracking etc so many choices out there

Thank you . 2 coats hoping will efficient

Impressive for such small sail area still getting 5.9knt

Almost at the painting stage, what type of roller did you use? some foam rollers give that orange peel look, should i tip off??

No down hwy 39 just after the Hamilton turn off on left, if you pass shallas retreat to far,Think he has a fire engine out the front now.,double ender about 27ft beam 9Ft?? carvel construction,open boat.

Did or has anyone encountered the "IWI' fisheries patrols over the xmas break?? I didnt but did have a visit real fisheries,good buggers too.

Many worthy yachts lying around back yards in NZ. Problem is $$ and which ones do you save? Some owners dont want to dpart or wanting top $$ "Yeah going to start soon." Found a lovely hull ,former Kaipara steam pinnance,visited owner and "Yeah mate going to take up to the shed soon" 3yrs on still lying on front paddock. I even located a steam engine for her. Perhaps Rudolfshack should take a trip up there??

You planning to come before next Monday??

Why ss ?? Steel last just as long.Easy to fabricate . My original lasted 30 yrs and only reason of failure was due to rusting under instillation.Didnt go from inside out.

Have any of you actually bothered to read "notice f race"?? It a cat 5 race . Safety Inspections Every entry has the responsibility to ensure it is fully compliant with safety category 5 requirements. Any yacht found to be in contravention of YNZ Safety Regulations Part II Category 5 shall be subject to protest from the Race Committee or Yachting New Zealand. MEASUREMENTS / HANDICAPS Each yacht shall provide a current valid rating certificate with her entry as follows: 6.1 Monohull racing handicaps will be based on the Passage PHRF TCF handicap racing system and is designated automatic

YNZ has it as Beau,

There was something on TVNZ1 news the other night. I believe the cruiseship industry has been laid up for months and dry docks are full ,so they cannot get in for clean off. Good on bio NZ for making a stand though bit late for some invasive pests.

With all this bio security. Why arent MPI meeting ships at the 200 mile zone,fit seals on sea cocks etc so cannot discharge,be good traing for the navy rather sitting at the base.

Wondered where the mullets boats went too. Looks very flash https://www.sporty.co.nz/pcc/newsarticle/121484?newsfeedId=1535106

Just home from dinner in Ponsonby and a walk around Westhaven,very few cars and marina looks full compared to previous yrs. Sign of the times??people have to work rather than the standard 3 week cruise of yester year.

HaHa Yes I laugh,logged a trip report a few times and forgot to close off. C/G never made contact with me via cellphone,they have my details etc. I guess its not tlll you go missing a family member contacts them then action starts.

It is exactly the same as when the mooring debacle went on,moving from Okahu bay to Hobson. A few complained but no one said repair the break water .There lies the problem breakwater goes the mussels went and insurance companies saying rates going up if moor there. If the breakwater was repaired and eaterlies waves would of been reduced and possably yachts saved,but no,All sit their hands till it happens. By now you must realise the of boat ownership is viewed as a privilege and boaties must pay not the rate payer.
