Had a couple of messages/texts already, must have been too cheap but looks like it’s sold payment pending - cheers

As title states, tiller pilot came as spare with the boat and I can’t see me needing it. Hooked up to a power supply and sailed around the kitchen, seems to do all the normal autopilot things. Amp draw less than 1.0 on push and pull, compass seems to know what’s going on. Case it good nick no cracks etc. Comes with lead, both parts of the plug but no manual. As is where is $100 Freight extra. 0220449171

Yeah I too am going hard out trying to make the start line. Better book a side of Tazzy D to raft up to in Russell eh

Hi Kelvin I have just taken Mean Streak off a 10.5m berth at Gulf Harbour that should still be available, I was paying $100 a week. Not quite Westhaven but a lot closer to the Coastal start than Whangarei Cruising Club! If you are keen flick me a text and I will give you the owners contact details. Cheers Nigel

Finish of the SSANZ 50. We've had one Glamour race and 3 Shockers, they sure are a tweaky thing.

Cheers Brendan I’ll contact you soon

Anyone have or know of a soft pack liferaft I could hire/borrow for the coastal this year?

Thanks guys ????????

Hi crew Just looking to book a cat 3 inspection for the coastal, I have the list of inspectors but before I start calling them randomly can anyone recommend an inspector based on or near the peninsula? Thanks

I don’t have the time either but she was a good buy at the right moment despite the aged interior/biscuit coloured exterior ???? Things got pretty medieval today...

A couple of weekends work: Sold my 830 Shapeshifter and helped pack her up for a trip to Nelson, drove up to Whangarei and bought a replacement 930, sailed her back to Whangaparaoa, did a race, and started scraping/heating/grinding and sanding the horrible textured feature coating off the saloon ceiling/sides/under decks surfaces. Oh and I need to get it all finished by this weekends SSANZ race ????

I’m doing it on my 930. Will be one way as boat staying up there for Xmas cruise and bay week, currently have no bowman signed up, what do you weigh, what do you drink and how good are you at drinking it?

Bring her out for the Anzac Shorthaul? At least 2 other 830's will be there

Older means wiser though eh Richard ????

Legend! No rush but I'll flick you a P.M

Yeah man If you look under the base of the wand unit you may still be able to make out Noah's signature

Yeah man another 830 sausagefest!

Weird situation but when we launched Shapeshifter Dec 2015 she had a full compliment of brand new in box (but 20+ year old) Navman 3100 Speed, Depth, Wind and repeater instruments fitted. Sometime last year the anemometer shed its measuring spoons, and I am unable to source replacements. There's a hopeful bugger on trademe wanting $450 for a mast head transducer set but I was wondering if anyone here has and old setup gathering dust at home they'd be willing to part with or part out? Cheers!

Fish leading so far ????

As long as your nuts don't get anywhere near me I think I should survive Jon Got the new rig Meister just not sure if we will have the money for sails in time

I had the old "Hot Shower" thing suggested to me about 30 years ago after a hard days hay baling. Being a townie I fell for it, and have since that day only ever used cold water to remove itchy scratchy irritants from the skin! Got in a bit of trouble over the Xmas break when Mrs FLC discovered a thin yet evenly spread film of carbon dust which had found its way onto the WC seat, using a sensitive device for measuring such things. I didn't have the balls to suggest a quick bottomless plunge over the side...

Shapeshifter keen to have a crack at the Shorthaul. My crew has already booked his leave pass and we've just about gotten over having our asses handed to us in the 2016 Triple Series

Coming home from the Barrier last month. Great to finally have an Autohelm after 2 years!

Depends on where you apply it. When I say it doesn't burn through you skin I mean it doesn't do it straight away. Let's say somebody who has used it a bit - we'll call him Nigel, was applying the stripper and unknowingly got a bit on his hand... Then went for a number one and transferred said Stripper to Little Nigel before resuming the job... Well he is going to find himself with a bit of a tingling sensation in his downstairs operation after a few minutes which would require a quick dousing with water to said area before resuming life in relative comfort. Hypothetically of course, all char
