  1. Great prognosticating!
  2. Agree. And I love her dry European humour.
  3. It seems it all just over the place depending on insurer, underwriter and (probably) the clerk processing the paper. The Davidson I crew on had to do the gas (and replace most of it!) No survey or rig check.
  4. I have a rotating mast from Matrix. Circa 2007 and time to redo the standing rigging. I see they no longer exist and I'm keen to make sure I have the right skills looking at/replacing the top swivel which has to be the weakest point. Does anyone have a good recommendation for this. I know there's been a few questions asked about riggers before but this is specifically about the specialisation of the rotating components.
  5. Welcome to the forum. Agree that Raven is a great starter boat and the next upgrade should be 30-35 foot for the money you're thinking. There have been lots of very similar questions like this asked so you should be able to dredge them up through the search. The repeating themes are: Costs rise exponentially with boat size. Eg If stay below 10.5m you save having to pay for a 12m berth. A 40mm shackle is something like 50% cheaper than a 60mm one. Don't buy a do up. Buy the best boat you can. So smaller will be cheaper and still give you a great coastal boat. I'm Un
  6. Thanks. Adding it to my shopping list.
  7. At risk of sounding like a complete numpty; What is ATF?

    Boom Tent Battens

    I have some collapsible tent poles you can have. I'll dig them out and pm you the specs.
  9. Let's hope... Glad to see that, despite our collective cynicism about govt agencies they have been working on something. Now about the Hauraki gulf...
  10. We always go to the fuel dock at orakei marina. The gate is always open. Or was when I was last using it a couple of seasons ago. It's not very busy and we've sometimes stayed a couple of hours while changing crew. There's also public parking on part if the car park as it is owned by council. Still get the security as the Marina owners.

    Neat Video Links

    I think Marine talk covers it. Cruising is mostly about everything. Need to have more cruising posts. The stories are interesting.
  12. My present boat is a cat. (F41). I wouldn't do her as the lines are mostly about the bridge deck. Keen to consider a Challenge 29 and Elliot 10.5 - and Frank is right - process is simple but time consuming. I took lines of Jetstream (C29) manually lotsa years back when I was looking at doing the same mod as Meister (a great boat - now for sale https://www.trademe.co.nz/4462817748 ). I hope I still have them. Now to see if I can find a set of Elliot line plans somewhere. Anyone got any?
