Look on trade me for cheap dive weight belts. I managed to pick one up with 12kg on it for less than $30. Dive shops charge $20/kilo for their lead

Seconded Also...NZL you are entitled to your opinion thought it obviously differs to others here that is ok too. Frankly we are tired of listing to your opinion so please can we get back to answering Shane's question if we want to or leave it alone if we don't want to offer advice

Hotter plugs will be because of the higher octane or vice versa. I would assume he sugests it because in his experience that engine will run better with that set up. That being said I'm sure someone will be along shortly with actual knowledge

It's very difficult if at all possible to get any sort of effective trim on a sail that's partially furled but I can see the appeal of being able to reduce sail area from the cockpit. Some people here who do a lot of miles single handed might have an alternative system that works better. Furlers are great for getting your sail on or away single handed or when fully crewed but an effective way to reduce sail area and continue to sail they do not make But it will make the boat easier to sail by yourself and are definitely worth the investment, just maybe not it the situation you are

Unpopular alternative...Pay the $65 never think about them again. is it really worth going through the stress all for $65... I understand the princable behind not paying it but at the end of the the day they will always win. Where is the value in wasting your time and getting stressed out. And even if they don't win you have to pay $40 for disputes tribunal so it's only $25 and your pride. But you don't really have any pride, you broke the rules knowing the consaquence. Not keen to get into a internet argument about it all but just thought I would say my bit.

I just saw a post on facebook, Hall spars start rig tuning tomorrow with first sea trials Friday. Looks like the first big one on the agenda is the Sydney Hobart. https://www.bigboatracing.com/news/2016/11/15/cqs-arrives-in-auckland

For context your Sony Z1 has a 2,200 Ma/h battery. Thr GoPros are about 3,000-4,000 Ma/h so theoretically it would still be able to charge the phone/GoPros a few nor times... That is without calculating use while charging etc. it's been a while since I sold them so my stats might not be 100% accurate.

It depends on how much you spend. I thought the general rule was $400 or less and they don't usually bother because it is not economical to collect GST below $60. Although there are some exceptions. This is helpful: http://www.whatsmyduty.org.nz/faq
