what about a bio fuel motor?then a separate tank for the adblu?suppose to be less carbon.

with the amount of pollutants in tamaki river from run off storm water,you would think nothing would grow but it must be the fastest growing growth area i have come across

maybe the manufacturers need to produce paint that actually works not just claim it works,what one uses in a marina(stagnant water) does not necessarily work in a river. Previous yacht had coppercoat,mud/slime on hull then barnacles get hold and so it goes on.only advantage if you have a fast boat it comes off or scrubs easily.

went to a meeting last night and were told there is no more cleaning of hulls on grids,must be removed,thought that cannot be right and can find no new updates on ak council site,so am thinking go ahead and do it,heck not much they can do when tide is out and no signage!

can you still use tidal grids to remove slime?or has council put a stop to this?

just had it clarified,need to register to have it sent out,but can buy off shelf once they have given you all saftey data rang head office as it seemed strange

Thank You for the info on a side note.Who knew you have to register to buy antifoul paint,just did it at burrnsco?

Ok IT,where do we get the correct information from?have asked a couple suppliers and they are in the dark but general consenses is are current vhf will work on the available channels we are currently using.My set needs updating but if I need to change who has the new sets?If i do buy a new set will mean another new set in 2016/2017?

yes can confirm that we need to do nothing to our vhf radios,as our frequencies remain the same.maybe a issue if going overseas though.

designer grinders and a couple others + dean,maybe the backers need to ask grant to move aside?

i am guessing here ,that for clubs holding races to ensure vessels have the right safety gear,not skipper just signing declaration,ood has absolute control whether to start a race or abandon?not just skippers responsibility as we know some skippers apply pressure to ood to hold a race,can see this leading to clubs to pay a higher acc levy worst still the ood saying all must have one reef in and a number 2 headsail and no use of kites in 20knots or more. The fun police stopping fun.

could please tell many what sort yachts and many do you think will enter non extra division?thinking of entering wednesday if i get things sorted,thanks

who remembers back in mid 70s,the sea egg,theory was it could roll over and over like a egg and come upright,left nz and never heard of again. Does he plan on coming to nz? remember the guy in the dove,24ft but never went south,stayed up in tropical zones,and proved it can be done using sense.

When Dalton steps down or sacked is when I will support Etnz,so looking good for the Japan

vhf on ch 16 till anchored,epibs etc if vessel is in close proximity whats wrong with a good old smoke flare?, vhf is line of sight only and relies on repeaters,should of kept the old ssb (fair was to many vessels)clogging it,so we were sold the vhf as new technology

will investigate further,there is no rush

my problem is a mainsail nz $2200 hyde $1200 3 seperate quotes

Did you ever make the trip?1983 took a hartley 16 out,never again though!

thanks,certainly would place order through a nz agent

Has anyone had a set made from the Philippine loft? Thinking of getting mainsail made,sail maker reckons cheaper for a standard Dacron sail to be made and shipped than local?is this correct?
