If it goes brown or coppery when sanded, it is probably coppercoat or equivalent inter mixed with antifoul of various types

Back to the fire, if it was batteries then I would have thought that the water applied would not have affected the battery fire and the boat would have burnt until it sank. In this case the fire crew managed to douse the fire without sinking the boats. Initial investigation have been around the shore power wiring starting the fire with further testing to confirm this.

The boat that appeared to be the source was fitted with Lead Crystal batteries previously, unsure if they were still there, it was a large cost at that time, I don't know much about them except that they were costly

River Rebel's sails, boom, chainplates all gone, must have been hot - doesn't look to be salvageable. Fire was in a launch nearby.

Just got a reply from the riggers at Opua, they have feeders there, brand new for a $132.
-
No, no response from up there
-
Sailfeeder found, thanks for the feedback
-
Thanks for the info, I'll try the Opua rigger, I think Kevin Peet is working there
-
this has been asked for before, does anyone have a Furlex type B sailfeeder or have modified the newer model sailfeeder to suit. The boat I have been on lost it

If you are near Rotorua, the Kilwell factory has a huge range of carbon tubes with small defects and priced very well too. Their range changes regularly so its worth a visit, often

Apparently https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ovz.carscanner&hl=en_GB&gl=US this has access to battery data - Version 1.98.6 has added support for the MG4. I've had a brief try of the free version, and the All Sensor list does display values for quite a lot of the EV variables, some of them jump to silly values occasionally. Things like SoC, SoH, battery cell min/max/difference values, battery voltage, instant consumption etc.

Why not buy a cheap Launch scantool or similar with Bluetooth dongle through Ali-express to get battery data

Everyone is a leaseholder technically but it is like an owner, it has renewed with the council once since I've been there with no change noticed. The purchase price is fixed by the Society and all sales go through it.

The Marina is a Society and supposed to operate solely for it's members boating needs, it isn't allowed to make a profit. At .present prices have risen lately due to the refurbishment of the piers. A typical lift and waterblast is around $100-130 with annual rental around $1400-$2000 PA depending on length

We replaced our old main and genoa for these formed sails from Sam Burton, they were so nice to use in moderate conditions and looked like real race sails as used in real competition race boats
