  1. 14 You and your invitees must not engage in any swimming, diving or underwater activities (including the scrubbing of your vessel’s hull) within the Marina. https://www.pineharbour.co.nz/terms-and-conditions-berth-rental-agreement/ Their rules a bit over the top,no drinking in marina except at licence premises,so I gather no beers onboard before going home??Goodluck with that.
  2. and another one,must admit hes gone up market. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/listing/3650560417
  3. The worst part is the H/M will stick some on T/M get viewed as a cheap do up and nothing achieved,left to deteriate futher,meanwhile the AK ratepayers pay for the others disposal. How many have deceased owners and family said"bugger it,some else can have the problem"
  4. Try demolitian yards,some have flooring rimu etc
  5. Try little passage at Musick Pt,Tamiki river, no one gives a stuff. Would be nice to see the police vessels cruising around for a change.wait not going to happen dont see them on the beat onshore.
  6. compulsary would be better. I did a boat masters back in 1986,can remember most things but lights would get me.Dredge/constrained by draught.
  7. And there lies the problem,how often have you seen the HM vessel out n about r even a police vessel? I know coastguard dont want to be the rule enforcers but with amount of vessels they have perhaps its get near time to part of a govt funded agency and do the job of enforcement.
  8. Still waiting on the anti registration crowd here to explain how you track a vessel down thats not registered.May have a name(trailer fizz) how do track it ,last seen heading?? Doesnt need to be a huge cost ,only cost would change of ownership details,we do change of details for cars,life time vhf call signs if we want to keep same call sign need to infornm coastgurad(current handlers of it)when transfering to different vessel.
  9. ever tried ring HM after hrs??
  10. Only if you race,how many yachts with numbers and current owner hasnt bothered to change or update details?? I never did. Not compulsory.
  11. My has a name on it too. Go look up (if you can) to see who the owner is. Yes yachts have a sail if registered with YNZ for race prposes only,not compulsary. Yes jetskis are registered in AK and waikato only But once again a white 16ft vessel called happy days.try finding the owner,not registered anywhere,several with same name. Those against compulsary registration normally have something hide. Make it part getting insurance sounds good and produce day skipper cert.
  12. boat registration needs to happen. It was a white 16 ft boat,yeah that narrows it down.. Not hard to do for trailer boats its your trailer registration.
  13. What would be wrong with a basic day skippers course,learn the basic rules at least. You drive a learner driver to the motorway and say your turn🤣
  14. Frightening really,broker friday night and away Saturday with no idea,be like a new restricted driver driving the latest ferrari. Need some sort of regulation,but would that safety or taking away my rights?
  15. https://www.maritimenz.govt.nz/public/news/media-releases-2022/20220530a.asp Jae-Ho Huh was sentenced on 27 May in the Auckland District Court after earlier pleading guilty to one charge under the Maritime Transport Act. He was prosecuted after his 11-metre launch, with three people aboard, collided with the schooner SV Arcturus. The collision occurred between Rangitoto Island and St Heliers in Auckland in March 2020. At the time, the launch was travelling under auto-pilot at between 15 and 20 knots (28-37 km/h). Mr Huh has been fined $ $3,900 and ordered to p
  16. You are talking litres rather more like a cup or 2?? I have seen foam poured in to stop leaks but water ,a mix of fresh/salt sitting the mast helping the corrosion process,be better to let water out.

    New Genoa

    yes was going to mention him,excellent service and sails well made. I believe a lot NZ lofts send details overseas and have cut and stictched back here in NZ
  18. Yes and who was the National fisheries Minister that kept peeing in comms pockets and accepting bribes and who is the National party president and owner of "Sandfords"? Nathan Guy was the minsiter and Peter Goodfellow president,leopard change its spots?nah
  19. What about theres Pr$cks https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/300590326/fishing-crew-caught-with-45-times-the-daily-limit-of-snapper-in-auckland
  20. wonder how he sealed the sail drive hole?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c04AlpjgXEg
  21. I remember seeing up for sale 3 months ago,$1 or goes to dump. He has a $1 bid,sucker who is buying it.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
