If you are looking or clean disconect couplings for hoses one term used is "dry break coupling"

Purisan did a system - I know of at least one boat in Northland using it. Will try and get the spec.

Cannot remember the name or year (but before 1900) the vessel was posted missing after departing Melbourne but turned up at it's destination in Noumea 6 months overdue, not sure if all crew / passengers survived.

Could never understand why they went for FPP over CPP. Probably made it a cheaper build...

Right click on the photo and select properties then select the URL from the window that came up, use ctrl+c. then go to crew and paste the url into the post and enclose it using the img button.

You can link to photos already posted elsewhere rather than loading images to crew.org use the Img button

not on the chart....

Did that run on a steam launch a few years ago, 3ft draft, touched twice, sticky mud. Long oar came in handy.

Awesome

Hope to be testing a Win 8 tablet shortly, company testing a different product. On the modern nav gear - it is nearly all dependant on GPS for positioning. How easy is it to put a position on the plotter from compass bearings?

Got the chainsaw out and chopped up stuff...

What sort of chain saw did you get? I have a Pioneer 620s and a liitle Sthil aborist chiansaw. The little one is good for harvesting avos via the chainsaw method - the pioneer is a bit heavy for me when 20-30ft up a tree.

Maybe it needs another ball....

Congrats Tim. And Thanks for the ride last year.

In old conservatory found a soft spot in corner, lift the carpet to find a previous repair, decided to lift all carpet to replace damaged particle board - found there were cork tiles under the underlay - so if I replaced particle board there would be a need to level the floor - easy answer - garden spade to lift old tiles (also scrapped a lot of the glue off) - replace particle board where damaged - belt sander to smooth it all - painted it then carpet tiles on top to make it look nice.

So was first looked at in 2005. Sounds good. Are they still going to build the bridge?

if it was paid in any other country some might call it a facilitation payment inn other a bribe

I heard a figure of $6million had to be paid just to get a marina development the go ahead and that was not part of the official payments - wonder what it would cost for the consents for the above

except you.....

This afternoon I was working - out on the water, got a few pics of yachts racing.

Not totally marine related but.... We started moving onto our new place. over the last few days we shifted 3 truckloads, & 3 car &trailer loads. We now have a few Acres of land, a house, a 3 bay implement shed with power, + lots of trees. Now the marine / boating part is that we will have room to house a boat project if someone needs the space. Covered space will be limited to 1 bay of the implement shed + part of the enclosed bay. Anyone interested just let me know.

if you can take the gas bottle ashore when not out sailing they tend to last longer.
