Maritime NZ proposed new anchor watch rule enforcement
grant replied to eruptn's topic in MarineTalk
it was written in an age when the rule was read with understanding about what it was to achieve, not the current trend of looking at a rule and immediately trying to find a way around it. Simple is seldom easy to write. -
Maritime NZ proposed new anchor watch rule enforcement

Maritime NZ proposed new anchor watch rule enforcement

This isn't new and has been pointed out not even specific to NZ.

Last race Malcom Dickson racing his son, this time taking on his brother, they sure like this race

I've used something similar in a big dinghy, worked well but I needed a longer hose to actually get the water out of the boat,

given the conditions their effectiveness would be unknown and untested, very thankful they weren't tested

thanks for that and the links, one question, why do you have the Jabsco and the 0.5 micron filter? From what I can see it looks like they both do much the same thing?
-
for those with filters, do you filter the water going into the tanks or when it comes out? and what filters do you use? thanks
