Sounds like they were having a good time. Hope you waved back.
Doesn't sound like they did anything to impact on your good day out, so why do we need licencing because of that example?
I can't see what the problem is that needs licencing as a solution.
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.

Pretty sure any vessel over 24m or 12 passengers is considered commercial, and require qualified crew.

A. 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 -
I am sure everyone on here has never made a mistake, has done all the relevant courses, never exceeds 5 knots where prohibited, never rowed ashore without a PFD etc.
Those registered jetskis never break any rules right?
Some enforcement would go along way. Along with and first, some serious public education.
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 bonefide water police division.

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,roll every dinghy over, roll the jug of hot water over while IT and KM make a cuppa,pass at 10ft doing 30knots. My defense where are the rules written?? no mention when I brought it, Boat handling skills like berthing well thats a different matter.
No name or number but if there is a name it means nothing as its not recalled anywhere,unlike most yachts with a number can be traced eventually if ownership details are 10yrs out of date.
An old fella we use to go out with in the early 70s use to say there goes another Friday night John Burns special!!

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.

How about to forgot to tell wife we aren’t on mains water any more and using 150l of water in 48 hours! Don’t ask me how, I’m still looking for the leak in the tank as I sit in woody bay! Luckily there are some helpful crew.ogers who helped me top up this morning!
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?

So, now Maritime NZ requires that all vessels must have the required ratio of crew with an Advanced Sea Survival qualification (30% of crew or at least two crew members) and a Procedures Manual.
http://www.marinebusiness.com.au/news/maritime-nz-tightens-yacht-safety-rules
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.

We used a flare once when we had some serious keel trouble half way down the West coast. Had many other racing yachts close by but couldn't reach any of them on VHF so MNZ recommended a flare to get their attention. It worked and we had a boat along side shortly afterwards until we were at the hokianga harbour entrance with coastguard standing by.
I think that's the first and last time a TP52 will ever tie up to hokianga wharf....
Fish,please send video of you eating your sailing boots
