The call for regristration not nessacary. The insurance companies could say"no day skipper corse or better. no insurance" one way getting people to know basic rules.?
Currently you can purchase near any size vessel in NZ with no idea about rules etc.When was the last time a dealer/broker said"heres a booklet on rules of the sea?"

The ferry being the stand on vessel must also try to avoid collision too. Turned to stb may of been more of a gunnel to gunnel contact. But it will come out in 18 months.

All above board.It has been the dry dock at Devonport naval base.Son found an article about it.

Gather from the article ,somewhere between GT Barrier and Kawau as they talk about entering north channel?

commercial fishing boat coming at me I am always ready to alter course
Had that off the Hen n Chicks,longliner,presumed laying so gave way to it. none seem to display I am fishing day signal,2 cones pointing towards each other,?
The modern nav gear is a bit frightening. Had spencer 1/2ton fitted with a course plotter and linked to autohelm,so easy to set (going to windward) and make a coffee,but did pop up every 5 minutes and make sure no other vessels around.Winter going north so no real issue,sure as heck would try sailing from Motuhihi with it up the harbour.

This should clear it up??

Could not see anyone at the helm of that boat, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t someone there. It had two 300-horsepower motors on the back and it was full, fast. And he just don’t swerve, he didn’t slow down, didn’t put the throttle down. He just ran straight into the front of the ferry.
He told Checkpoint it was lucky the boat - the eight-metre ‘Boston Whaler’ - hit the strongest part of the Blue Ferry

Is it just me, or is Facebook also fading away? People I know who used to post multiple times a day have gone strangely quiet. Not that I miss reading that it looks like rain in Ekatahuna and that Ms X has just washed her hair…
My contacts all use messenger rather than post

It just a perception and I have no data to back this up but at times Crew.org seems progressively more quiet and I suspect there are many who read but never comment. I have seen sites die a slow death as content dried up and users attention drifted elsewhere it would be a shame if that happened here, please post
Not unique here ,as a fishing site I follow had over 300 post a day,now down to 5 or 6 members posting every couple of days,apparently facebook with community pages has killed a lot of sights off.
Still find interesting content here. Found community F/B you get real silly answers from no life experienced people.

makes one wonder who is lurking off the coast ,above or under the water.

A volunteer coastguard crew was shocked to discover a French warship lurking in the Hauraki Gulf mist while searching for a stricken yachtie.
Kawau Volunteer Coastguard was called out to assist in the search and rescue of the yacht that had lost navigation and electronics amid a gale warning, with winds of 30 knots and heavy rain off Kawau Island last week.

Goodhew is charged with breaching his duties as a worker on the vessel and in doing so allegedly exposed individuals to a risk of death or serious injury. The charge carries a maximum penalty of a $150,000 fine.
His business, which trades as Enchanter Charters Ltd, is charged with operating a ship without the prescribed qualified personnel. It alleged Goodhew did not have a medical certificate at the time of the incident.
The business is also charged with allegedly failing to address voyage and passage planning in its Maritime Transport Operation Plan, and allegedly failing to identify and address the risks arising from the trip.
By failing to take those steps, the business exposed individuals to a risk of death or serious injury, the charge, which carries a maximum penalty of a $1.5 million fine, alleged.

Start of with compulsary "Day Skipper" ticket,covers basic rules etc. If no improvement then boat registration. Trailer boats are easy to do,trailer rego on hull ,one off fee or annual with trailer rego. Yachts/launches(moored) one off fee through ynz until sold/change of ownership.
Currently have boatmasters,sat in 1987 with the marine dept when they were in jean batten place ak .Only change I can think of is the AK channel markers went from Numbers to Alphabet ,but "A" buoy still "A" buoy.

Wonder what charges will be laid?? Failing to give way.nit keeping a proper lookout.excessive speed?? The Boston whaler this is.Acident causing injury or possible death?? Penalties??

Perhaps MPI needs to get involved:
About 7 or 8yrs ago,Legasea held a fishing symposium. One of the guest speakers was Everlyn pinkerton from BC Canada. She pointed out that all regional councils are responsible for the seabed/fauna/shellfish/fish(in conjunction with mpi)out to the 10 mile limit. But to take on council would be costly.Who has a lazy 2 or 3 mil??
The Landing,not are you only taking on AK council but local Marae who want a cleaner Okahu Bay. Councils arguement will be ,we need to put costly containment tanks in. Hike fees up. $200 up/down $200 per day and say no DIY must use approved applicators for removing anti foul or painting. Sounds negative,but reality.
Taking on council is like protesting a race committee.soon close ranks.
5.1 General Coastal Marine zone
Zone descriptionThe General Coastal Marine zone (GCM zone) comprises the majority of the coast, and includes the CMA that lies outside of the Marina, Mooring, Minor port, Ferry terminal, Defence or City Centre zones, and is not in a precinct.
The objectives, policies and rules of the GCM zone apply to all zones and precincts unless otherwise provided for in the zone or precinct. If an overlay applies to the area where an activity is proposed, the provisions of the overlay will also apply, including any overlay rule that applies to the activity.
The purpose of the GCM zone is to provide for use and development that has a functional need to be undertaken in the CMA, and to manage conflicts between activities, while:•Enabling appropriate use and development of the CMAs natural and physical resources to provide for our social and economic well-being.
•Protecting natural character and landscape values and natural features.
•Maintaining water quality and the life-supporting capacity of the marine environment.
•Protecting significant ecological values.
•Protecting historic heritage values.
•Providing for Mana Whenua values in accordance with tikanga Māori.
•Maintaining and enhancing public access, open space, recreational use and amenity values.
•Avoiding and protecting development from coastal hazard risks.(This will be the stumbling block and Council will push it.Saying this why we want it closed.)

So if the ayba wins appeal no doubt council will lodge another appeal or make the haulout cost prohibitive. See gave them the facilities but they don't want to use it Wayne Brown wants everything to be profitable.user pays.Want to make Liberians volunteers.Close cabs as rents to costly.
What sanctions are ynz going to place on rayc seeing how they back closure??

Agreed. Its not right that the council structures can be covered in mature fouling, propagating it onto our boats...
For this reason, when approached by council to allow access to the GH Village marina for inspections, access was denied. The village marina is private....
Bio security would over rule private marina if issued by MPI??

for an event that the organisers want to turn in to a annual event,didnt even make the sports news on TV.
