Winder how long club yards like devonport/panmure or up the Clevedon river are looked at?

never run a 2s dry of fuel as oil residue is required to stop rusting etc,best to let fuel evaporate naturally. Got that from o/b mechanic as was having start issues.
2s dont like biofuel older 2s need to run on 95 or better.
Incidently bio fuel is coming to a end in NZ due to cost of shipping Z closed its bio fuel plant in Wiri about 2 yrs ago. Gull will be stopping 698 bio as will use caltex 95 or better I believe.

Now now, who didn't read what I wrote?
If you had read what I wrote, you would see I was referring to the 4 guys that died waiting to be rescued. One was believed / confirmed dead caught in the hull at the time of the role over.
Any chance you want to discuss this constructively, or are you just keen on taking potshots now?
No as you defending the skipper all the way through. And I will say skipper was neglect on all accounts,remember dead men tell no lies. At first skipper hung to dry by no first aid cert but seems more to the case now.
I will wait for the court verdict before any more discussion. Transmission over.

Rather interesting stat from "Beca" 2012,it now 2024
The rate of increase of boats in Auckland varies with boat type. Following a significant growth period in the 1980s and early 1990s, growth in cruising vessels (yachts and launches that might occupy a marina berth or mooring) is estimated to be 0.45% per year. There is localised demand for moorings, but generally there is a trend to move boats to marinas which, although more costly than moorings, offer greater security and ease of access and maintenance. The total number of moorings in the region between 2006 and 2011 has not changed significantly. There are currently approximately 11,000 of cruising vessels in the region with a growth of 1,000 to 1,600 additional boats predicted over the next 20 to 30 years. There is a perceived trend for the size of these vessels to be increasing from a norm of 10m in length to 12m to 14m in length. There has been significant growth in trailer boat numbers over the past 40 years and their predicted rate of growth is currently approximately 3% per year. Based on the number of registered boat trailers there are currently approximately 38,000 trailer boats in the region. This is predicted to increase to between 67,000 and 90,000 boats over the next 20 to 30 years. There is currently a perceived shortage of all tide/ all-weather boat ramps to accommodate this fleet.

K4309 or body else wants to be charged a SNR fee as part of their insurance like home owners charged a fire n earthquake levy?? I would be happy enough to pay and those don't get charged.Just like CG do for non members.Not sure how money is recovered from non members though.

Uninformed response here, but in all likelihood the difference in response is the result of: the locations; access to crew and appropriate equipment; risk assessment; time of day.
The cost of operating a rescue helicopter service is significant. Crew alone (pilot, medic and winchman) would run around $3k a day if you assume 24 hour cover with provision for training and credentialing.
This from a Stuff article in 2015
"The trust operates rescue helicopters out of Christchurch and Greymouth, costing more than $10 million annually, with $4m of that covered by operational payments and $6m by sponsorship, grants and community donations.
An average one hour trip costs the trust $11,500."
The balance then is cost benefit. Everyone wants goldplated service, no one is keen on paying for it.
We COULD have rescue helicopters located so they can service the entire country to 50km offshore at a 30 minute response time, with overlap between them to provide for larger rescues.
Feel free to calculate the cost.
Try 3k per hour ,+

which is why everyone with any skin in the game uses Predict Wind.
Have used Windy/Predict and not 100% acurate but more than metserv
But as most know,the closer you get to land steeper the seas. He misjudged it.

certainly not looking good for lance
Goodhew’s primary source of weather information was the PredictWind app, for which he held a paid subscription.
At 12.37 pm, just before departure, MetService issued a gale warning, predicting swells reaching up to two metres and the possibility of thunderstorms from Kaipara.
From Cape Brett, they reported 40-knot northeast winds, rough seas and poor visibility.
Despite the MetService forecast, Goodhew departed from the Three Kings with his clients around 1.30pm.

Is it cause the skipper was commercial?
Be the same inquest for recreational. Lost of lives.
Certainly appearing that Lance strayed of course and in to shallows..Would be looking at sounder or looking at waves and getting best angle?
Think defense lawyer is non maritime,saw the bit about the cray fisherman who said he had a early day,7 to 3 is a early day for those when on the crays.A lot work well in to the night clearing pots.

So, you or want punishment to pre-empt a court case. This is a typical MNZ beat up. My company were responsible for the last maintenance on Enchanter and we weren’t even contacted in the enquiry. Keep your amateurish opinions to yourself.
Seeing how Far North Boy isnt around anymore,if a airline pilot crashed and killed his passengers he would be grounded,so why can a charter skipper who endangered life/lost life be able to continue operating/skippering?

looked at a farr early 90s at pine harbour,very cheap until we talked to the broker,full of pox and delaminating,only good for parts.White gel coat,its all in the build. Humidity/heat etc was resin mixed right or layed up in a timely manner,all sorts of variables has an effect. As Pricilla posted carvel no issue if built well.Moana laid off Devonport for years painted black

The case is mainly based around not holding a current first aid.
It has very little to do with seamanship according to friend in the industry He called it a B/S case.
