  1. New phrf numbers are interesting, no special designation for shorthanded now as far as I can see... is this correct?

    Fiberglass rods

    I need to go from the main beam to the aft beam, so around 4m I would guess, I'll have a measure to at the weekend. Thanks for the replies

    Fiberglass rods

    I need to get some new rods for the pocket along the edge of my tramps on the GBE, any suggestions as to a supplier in Auckland?

    Antifoul options

    Due to work commitments, I struggle to get to the boat to clean every week, so looking at something towards the softer end of he range There's a substantial price difference between the extra and the 66. Any cooment on what i get for the higher price of the 66? The promotional blurb is unsurprisingly vague

    What are people using for antifoul on 8.5's at the moment?
  6. I've got the Yamaha 9.9 4stroke, it's a bit heavier than Voom's motor, top end is about the same but has heaps more low speed bite. Also the power tilt and start is handy as you don,t have to leave the tiller to get the motor running. Whatever you get, defiantly get the long shaft
  7. Sledge is a modified custom build F82R, carbon I think, where as a F28 is a gelcoated glass production boat, slightly longer, but likely a bit heavier. Tri's generally outperform similar cats in the light due to being able to induce a little bit of heel and tack more easily, and will have slightly less wetted surface area. However the cats catch up once the breeze comes up a bit. You'll likely be racing the 28 R on the water, if it's hull flying weather you may have a sniff at the 31's depending on how race orientated they are

    Fire Extinguishers

    When was the change in commercial training... Did some myself in that last couple of months?
  9. Hi paxfish, A lot of the boats here run 2 stroke 8 HP as that is the lightest motor they can carry for racing, and would be propped slightly differently. Personally On my GBE I have a newer version of your motor with the high thurst as well. My logic is that I am happy to sacrifice a knot or two of top speed in return for very positive response while manoeuvring and the knowledge that if the weather is bad there is heaps of low speed grunt on tap to get out of a sticky situation Cheers
  10. Can this run on a windows phone in some form?
