I was told that too. I ended up getting a kiwi feathering prop fitted and added nearly a knot of boat speed
Do you have trouble getting in reverse?off topic sorry, but mine stalls unless I go in quick for max revs.then can ease off
-
hard to measure when you think about it.Its high ride in Auckland at 12.00 noon so low tide manukau high tide sydney low tide fiji etc so how do measure it??when its half tide right around the world?wind has an effect so does full moon etc.
-
what makes Auckland get exceptionally high tides from my observations we also get a easterly blow which pushes the tide further up

about 6 months

I can understand skiffs,dragon boats etc do not need to wear/carry lifejackets due to the fact they have a safety boat on the course but where do you draw the line?tamiki river off bucks blowing 20knt out going tide and no safety vessel 8 in a dragon type boat

brilliant will come for a browse with cash

yes our tiller pilot failed due to leaving in cockpit over night,it rained,well bugger me are they not to be exposed to the elements?salt spray etc,now repaired it is in a bag but surely they must be able to with stand some water?not a drowning but spray?

if mnz/council are so concerned with saving lives by under 6m wearing of life jackets they need to take it a step further.Boat wof springs to mind as we have all seen certain people of the community in beaten up runabouts that you would not go to sea in a bath tub,overloaded no idea of the rules at sea. Education is the key but some will not adhere to advice given so we the law abiding citizen must comply as not to be seen as signalling that part of the community out.
would the powers to be accept a smoke signal as a communication device?

Interesting for me is how would the consumers guarantee act work?As a broker is merely putting buyers in contact with sellers and helps with negotiations,so my way of thinking is go with a independent surveyor.
I to buy a yacht via a broker and he gave me a surveyor report from a previous enquiry to use but went with a independant,turned out the shaft strut was loose and area around strut needed major work.no sale.I had to pay lift out and report,money worth spending.
Got caught slightly on the yacht I have now took a chance,paid the money picked boat up following weekend and water in bilge,rang previous owner and he said bad luck,turned out seal had gone dripless shaft seal.

Is the deal being done as a private sale or through broker?
Private sale would like buying a car.No come back on seller. Buyer beware!
What has the surveyor advised you to do?
-
or
stay with the 14hp beta diesel already in there
wondered myself as to why pull the motor out?not a fan of have a outboard hanging off the stern,looked at it myself but tote tank or underfloor tank,petrol and lpg gas onboard recipe for disaster imo,. figured my yacht was designed/built with a inboard,so moving weight to transom may cause to squat where she does not need to squat.

Have a look at Mercury
-
I felt sea sick just watching,totally different motion,end of day your there fast!
-
Well I wouldn't say no,be interested to see it in a 25knt ne bashing out to the barrier.
-
Maersk heard they were in trouble 12 months ago and above confirms.
-
only if such events could be lived
-
unwanted gear we just leave outside our club.
-
is it still there?
-
first I knew mine had gone was when my dripless shaft seal started making a noise(heating up)disconnected water from pump etc to find bits of zinc, 2nd zinc same as yours(thought i would check)managed to push,gentle tap,a nail in and removed,onto number 3 now,will check next year??is it really needed as zinc on shaft??
-
Duct tape??
-
Edible
-
color plus if its the one papakura?closed down,tredlite/tred grip is available at resenes

Borrowed a new set of sails yesterday just to see if it warranted spending $5k on a $10k boat,the answer was NO.old sails going to windward boat 4.6knt in sw/s 15knt avg,new sails 4.8knt so not a huge difference,angle to wind old sails vs new about 2 degrees which could/would be significant over a straight line,but does it warrant new sails,no at some stage they will need replacing due to age of material/stitching
You went sailing yesterday so here's a list for now when finished come back as I have another list Grr.
Coromandel Development

It cannot go ahead due to the oyster farms in the harbour,By dredging they will unsettle the heavy metalsasnic etc from the gold processing days.Besides it will ruin the quiet settlement as marina holders will insist on a major upgrade of the Thames/Coromandel Rd.
