And there lies the problem it is Wellington based fishing from seafood nz.. West coast is fishing well due to ban from coast with trawlers due to maui/hector dolphins. The main recreational fishing area,sna1,top of the north island down the east coast to east cape,with long lining danish seining (operating right off rukaka beach taking pilchards etc)trawlers which are allowed inshore,particullary in gulf,just outside kawau outside tiri down to gannet rock across to happy jack. This time last yr 3 sanford longliners working right inside kawau bay/orewa out to tiri,we witnessed the operation ove

NZF had a good fishing policy,basically word for word of "Legasea" presented by nzf Richard Prossier??but he didnt get in Shane corrupt Jones got in. Kermadec is interesting as Aotea fisheries(largest quota holder)wants fish there as in their eyes it has/was a traditional ground. Fine fish the traditional way back with dug outs and bone hooks. Sealord is interesting as .an interesting venture as its broken in to various operators,dig deep enough and will see who has contracted slave ships. As far as quota goes only person(in my view)to fish it is not the overseas holder or the quee

The NZ fisheries is more rotten than a week old fish lying in the sun. Big cooperates running MPI. The minister Nash is only a puppet same as Guy was. the corruption is deep inside mpi/maf you only change the minister not the bureaucrats who only report what the minister needs to know. There has been a big trawler built lately that have mincers below the waterline,apprently to put waste down lower to protect sea birds,what else is going down the mincer?? www.radionz.co.nz/news/te-manu-korihi/312342/new-flagship-for-maori-fisheries-company Can we leave the personnel attacks out a

Just present a shotgun when the dickheads get close,they soon go away

Fizzy registration is dead easy,same as trailer rego.

No immediate problem correct,but chances are very good of had a problem,out going tide 2m swell on bar and they were just from the white water,motor fail, fall in? I was in 5.7m 90hp horse and skipper was working hard to keep wave at stern and bow from not running over wave in front. Had they got in trouble all we would be able to is vhf or cell police,c/g and it would 2 hrs or more before anyone got to them.

The vessel is in private register so you do not need any licence. You just have to learn how to drive the vessel. 12:58 pm, Thu 7 Jun

The problem the way I see it,we are going to be penalized for those who we just cannot get through too or dont care,same group who drink/drug/drive they are probably the same ones who have the rotted ply hartley and no lifejackets, I came in through Manukau heads last friday(never again) and there just off cake island(tipitai head) 10ft parker craft with 6 ;largest guys fishing,no jackets waving beer cans These are type who no matter how hard you try to educate will carry on doing it . You fine them??so what(pay $5 pw) go and get another boat?? There is no easy answer until we have a bon

I for one would support a licence and registration scheme as long as the fee went in to maritime policing and funding boat ramps/dinghy skids. Spoke to a couple tassie guys and yes registration + licence (on the water spot checks) in turn has given them better facilities rather than relying on the tax/rate payer. Unlike most states no fishing licence required but thats a separate issue. The way it stands in NZ today there is absolutely nothing stopping me from buying a 60/90ft power or yacht from a broker,nothing on the broker to say I am competent,buy the thing hammer down at westhaven,r

Well just been across and back Manukau bar in 5.7 nasty,ne 8knt 1.5 se swell incoming tide,they think that is fun,much rather sail in to Tuts in a e 20+,hell of a lot safer,mind you it was nice getting up and personal with a blue shark

A yr on and still undecided on whether to replace yacht or go the nasty way with a classic,had Bob Wild (cousin to Col)16ft a few yrs ago made of strip kauri and maintenance was no major issue,able to work on it home not wasting a hr going to club get dinghy out+ outboard work for an hr or 2 then repeat the process home. Peace of mind when it blows like stink lying in bed not having to worry is it going to break free or others going to hit it. Been out on a couple of new alloys and the ride was shocking considering where designs are today.

Waeco well worth the price,I have cfx 40 and ran on temp zone 4 for 5 days away camping at thames and 120amh deep cycle battery lasted just with no charge.(need to invest in a panel)forget about the crappy old warehouse chilly bins,find an iceytek bin,near freeze or hard chill items before use.Salt ice!!

Advantages keep at home,maintain when you want no mooring fee,insurance no problem,down side waiting at ramps towing vehicle . Clippers are a nice vessel.

Same as the head,Unless its been eaten it does go in here!!, having said that,wifey(bless her sole)decided to do the eco thing and brought same recycled toilet paper from "earthcare"unfortunately the glue/paper makes it more like trying to pump wallpaper n glue down and no need to go any further.

salt ice is way better than normal,do not open constantly and it last,

When our yacht got written off (this time last year)if no buyer found the insurance company was going to get some crowd from west Auckland to come in and cut it up,somewhere out west all the dying/dead Ak vessel go too

seem to recall a tape that stretched and stuck to itself,havent seen it for years but worked well,soft rubber type.

have you considered the shroud roller if to protect sail on spreader?

and sailing solo,what use would the manual be??

Can be hard by one self if bolt rope is tight,does furler have a feeder or just straight in to slot??i have found it takes 2 and normally main up,sail down wind and it feeds in nicely but depends on sail/yacht size.

depends on swell,we found opposite the whailing station behind the nook on the port side entering ok,slight roll but depends on if you like absolute stillness(family)

Talking to my supervisor today regarding water in fuel,yes there is a bit in fuel but should not be detectable,if it is then the owners of the tank are not turning it off soon enough(trip switch failure)30000lt tank last 3000 lts tank should switch off as this is the water table,in general tanks get sucked clean every 2 yrs.

kind of what I liked about moorings,hard to cock pick up up,which is stronger wind or tide,which way is everyone laying,The 26ft I had was a shocker in reverse,borrowed a marina once and went head in and walked it astern when time to leave.Recently borrowed a friends launch and in reverse you had to steer to stb to go straight,lucky I had watched over times before or would of been disastrous.

at least the boy has his l/j on

lucky the windows were down,maybe bmw need to fit props?
