Passed 3m to leeward??I personally would feel a bit close in a non race situation,the other vessel is not here to defend themselves,but whose to say there was plenty of room but you came down on him?

both designs become obsolete in a very short time as 1/4 tonners,had a 25(tachyon)with 10hp bukh shaft 2 bladed imo the 25 has more room but the peterson sails a bit better.for the price they go for.both make good cruising family safe boats i got it wrong it the salthouse 19.6 waterline and cav 21 waterline. If I wanted a vessel to motor around in i would of brought a launch

cav 26 3 blade kiwi feathering and no I would not like a o/b hanging off the stern because when hobby horsing prop would pop out of water . to get o/b lower enough,long shaft, head would not high enough above water for my liking,what would be worst,a o/b under water or doing 0.5 with inboard??

This reminds of a yacht I had 3 yrs ago that sunk due to electrolysis,bronze thru hull with a s/s ball joint with a copper tail.little did I know that the ball joint had eaten thru,insurance co sent part off to metal tester to confirm that was the issue.The yacht had passed a survey at time of purchase.

I was in blackpool(waiheke)last sunday night,nw 20+ anchor held fine,8.00pm wind swung to sw 20+ and noticed we were dragging,fast,rather than mess about resetting picked a mooring that looked to be in good nic.stayed onboard incase owner arrived. If I had not been onboard and some kind person re anchored for me I would be most grateful
-
The whole seachange proposal is that there will/can be 13 mpa no take zones which may/will include no anchoring possible commercial zones only iwi control/only zones It has to go before doc/mpi then public consultation(roughly how it will work)mpi who want more fish exports may not support itt mpa/reserves have little to no effect on stock outside of the zone
