    Welding cable

    Just reading an old post by Zozza where he said he was studying electrics and they said don't have welding cable onboard. Why would this be?
  7. The last time I was in Lyttelton there were 2 coffee carts so that blows you out of the water. What I find interesting is Chch has 3 yacht chandleries- same as Auckland has/had. 170 you say. Don't know how many in Chch but enough to support 3 chandleries. The boats all around the harbour ie Cass,Purau,Corsiair, would never prefer to shop at the marina instead of going thru to Chch.? What does your bullshit marketing diploma think of that?
  8. SC advertising their closing sale tomorrow on the radio. Thought the 3 in Westhaven meant competitive prices, that then also applied in Chch with Burnsco. Here the staff can often be next to useless but does that mean minimal wages. Who doesn't Google before going shopping anyway. I spend lots on Amazon. Note none of the premises at the Lyttelton marina have found tenants.
  9. Practical Sailor(?) going on about the vertical component, that I think we all fail.
  10. Yes well it is Marlborough and suppose the Mikhail Lermontov was only trying to make up time. Surely they then would have gone to A Buoy(?) and said from here on in ignore the 5 knot restriction all the way in.( because a lot of the way in is within 200m of shore) Cant agree about less wake there.
  11. Why do a 8 knot speed restriction around Cullen Pt all thru to the marina, when there wouldnt be much , if any, that is not within 200m of the shore.? Surely should therefore be a 5 knot max.? Including a couple of wicked blind bends. Can the HM do a change like that without rescinding something?

    Warpaint

    Just heard Wet and Forget mention Warpaint antifoul. Any opinions on effectiveness nowadays?
  13. Any news on the big old Spencer on the US west coast (name forgotten)
  14. Being so tight here, I worry about the expensive galv getting worn on the gypsy so usually use armstrong.
  15. Excelent article in yesterdays 'G Captain' on the enquiry into the collision killing 7 sailors. Under resourced ship, novice crew, radars not great, etc etc. Avoidable accident. Go to Propublica. Also story on loss of crab boat in Bering sea ( like Perfect Storm) Instability caused by bigger new pots stacked on deck ? Throw in bad weather and this 100' fishing boat and crew went down
  16. Did the 30footer in the US have a name here, being built here? Be good buying at that price.

    Thanks Mark, that was along the lines I heard. Wonder is my old Navman 5600 likely affected.. And then I would need to update the chip? Once asked here for how you do that and cost but got no answer.
