May seem like crap but gives the insurance an out? What about a vessel drift fishing,would it need to display 2 black balls from memory. Not under control? Long time ago since I did boat masters,must do a refresher course one day.

Boat/skipper licencing and registration will eventually happen, More mishaps more likely i was reading on another site about a person fishing Rakino way and a yacht with no lookout or on the helm almost ploughed in the side of them,they started motoring with anchor down to avoid collision,so its not just power/jet/ yachts.

Hi Paul Thankyou for your email regarding the concern of the speed vessels are transiting the Tamaki River. Unfortunately we are already aware of this issue and have increased our patrolling of the area. We have often requested that the speed restrictions be passed on to people using the dry stack and have left brochures advertising the fact. We are looking at other options for enforcing the speed restrictions. If you can supply time and photos of particular incidences we may be able to follow up with the owner. Kind regards Brenda Brenda Orr | Maritime Officer Harbourmasters

Km how many really comply?? correct lights showing regardless of position is better than no lights? seen a few fancy launches at the boatshow and their nav lights were right back on the end of the cabin side,so in effect about 25ft back from the bow and were proudly displaying msn numbers.

Even YNZ rules are not clear www.yachtingnz.org.nz/sites/yachtingnz/files/YNZ%20Safety%20Regulations%201316%20FINAL%20Revised.pdf 19.07 NAVIGATION LIGHTS To be shown as required by the Collision X X X X X Prevention Rules to be permanently mounted and wired so that they will not be masked by sails or the heeling of the yacht, and are mounted above the level of the main deck. Side lights mounted into the hull are not acceptable. Navigation lights on all boats shall be fitted no lower than the height of the upper lifelines. Seen a good number of yachts where the nav lights

Think I have found it?? transportsafety.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0008/29537/11-Vessel-lights-day-shapes-and-sound-signals-VBSH2015.pdf Australian but why would it not cover nz??

The 5knt rule is a bit funny at times,Yes Honour I got a gust wind and suddenly the PT started planning,no your Hounour my PT does not have a speedo

Went and viewed the D28,Hmm like VB stated keep looking,wont go in to whats right or wrong,but if you got for $5k and spent $10/15k you would a good yacht which means buy one at $25k going sailing!. So now next Saturday going to make the trek to Coromandel ,have spoken to the owner who does not want to sell but needs too for reasons explained to me.

10hp is not enough,the old had a 10. Went north on Sunday,rang owner he sang praises but very disappointing,went further north and again disappointing.Wish owners were just honest and not post photos from 2 yrs ago. Will go and have a look but no rush,Saturday might end up in Coromandel,on trade a boat there is a trogan 750 keel version.Looks rough but $$ seem right. Failing all else might repay some debt or fiance number1 in to varsity .

Thanks for the offer,off to have a look at a d28 tuesday.

No boat at the moment so off to the bush Wednesday,Tairua side of Corro ranges,Broken hills,Doc camp. One of my favorite places.No cell phone coverage nothing,

all sorts of stuff on the market in the way of bilge cleaners,found best cheap nappies and dish wash.Seems to break the fuel down even when (naughty naughty) pumped the bilge no oil on surface.

The problem with masthead lights is just that ,a masthead used when motoring faces forward,where as anchor light is a all round white light, Mine did not have a all round white light,so i hung a all round led white light under the spreader away from the mast and yes very visible even when after some lemonades. No doubt will have the same problem going to Mahuranga at Anniversary weekend,Too many mastheads making it difficult to find the mark boat. Masthead lights shine forward in a 255 degree arc and must be at least 1 metre above the s Every boat at anchor must show only a white lig O

Too humid?

You let them climb up The Beehive and none got bitten by katipo spiders? http://www.bayviewmanly.co.nz/jweb/index.php/bayview-packages-2/high-speed-discovery-tour The skipper will whisk you past Beehive Island (where the sting is more likely to come from the plentiful Katipo spiders residing there I always thought it was false until I read this and Yes the spider is now protected.

moved from bait to the new fancy soft bait craze , funny or stupid fish are eating rubber.but seems to work no mess!

run best on a 10;1 oil mixture,new ones ran 25;1 but didnt last,something to do with engine bushes?? The I had ran on 30/40 oil mixed 10;1 would still be going if the bracket didnt break going through tiri passage and dropping off,might still have part of the bracket somewhere.

Is he the Gentleman who had the Seagull shop at MT Roskill Domion Rd

Depends on whether you want all tide access,

Thanks for the replies and advice.Will look at solar in the future,meantime will replace and bring home,not that much trouble to do. no idea what fridge draws but very efficient unit. Waeco.

IT, what size would you recommend for a house battery that is primary used for lighting and fridge (waeco cfx 40)? when not using yacht bring it home and trickle it??
