A couple of things I don’t follow. Is the sewerage flowing into harbour continuously because of sink hole?
Yes - the line is blocked, so the flow isn't getting to the Orakei pump station which would norrmally push it through the Hobson tunnel and ultimatly to Mangere
Or only when stormwater ingress floods sewer system beyond capacity? - This happens due to the legacy combined sewage/stormwater system. This is steadily being seperated, but very expensive to do completly. Case in point the St Marys Bay Tunnel, caputred all the flows that would have traditionally gone out into westahven and onto the beach just west of the bridge. This was dumping sewage in about 50 times a year. The new setup, by acting as a big holding tank, reduces this to 12 times a year, and the discharge is now in the middle of the channel, not into the marina. To completly remove any dischare would have been a significant cost increase, like almost an order of magnitude more for a very small catchment in the grand scheme of things.
I believe that has been the case historically without a failure? Does any untreated sewerage enter the harbour by design without a failure? - I dont think so now, pretty much everything is captured where it goes into a pipe. Some older spetic tank drainage fields will still be discharging something I;m sure

Have they got some publicly available water testing results?
Yes, the committees should be carrying out a risk assessment on the available information...
Dont worry, we're on it

From the RAYC annual report...
" RAYC has a close association with the Akarana Marine Sports Charitable Trust ("AMSCT"), a controlled entity of RAYC by virtue that RAYC appoints 4 of the 7 trustees of AMSCT. "
and
"The Akarana Marine Sports Charitable Trust ('AMSCT') is a related party as the General Committee members of the Club are also Trustees of AMSCT and the Club appoints the majority of the AMSCT Trustees"

Bit of a long shot, but has anyone got a Solas 3013-087-05 lying around surplus to requirements?
Blew the bushing out of the prop yesterday, and promtparts has them on backorder, need something for the SSANZ this weekend!
(I've got a backup motor if all else fails, would be good to have this ready to go though)

In line? But part of the argument is providing an affordable service to yachties, otherwise Orams etc will do just fine.
Theres boats that orams won't lift due to multis being wierd sizes, i.e. too wide for the smaller travel lift, and not feasiable for the big lift.
There is also the wider local auckland boat servcing capacity that has been significantly downgraded in the last year or so with P21 gone, LSB basicaly gone and now the landing closed.
I don't mind paying to haul out, I just want to be able to !

A big part of the issue was the local board was responsible for setting the haul out rates, but hadnt updated them for years, hence the yard was very cheap to use, but struggled to cover its costs.
Nobody is objecting to a price hike to bring it in line with other commerical operations

Well not too many racers, counted 27 with one pulling out within a minute, the multi boys may be disappointed with Mayhem coming in first and a loong way behind was attitude then Superbad and the Rum Bucket.
We had a fitting on the tiller connecting bar fail, gutted to have had to pull out
The Friday party had an awesome atmosphere, with Phil and the band doing great work👍

The American commentator described Phil Robertson as the 'clutch' skipper. He also said that Canada were the clutch team.
And now Danny Lee has done a 'clutch putt'! 🤣 https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/golf/300834723/watch-danny-lee-holes-incredible-putt-for-63-million-win-on-liv-tour
Clutching at straws, perhaps?
Clutch is an adjective as well as a noun and a verb these days
Language evoloution and etymology is very wierd sometimes!

And now from the meaningless graph department.
This came up on windy when i swiped or clicked or something...
Anybody got a clue as to what it means?
Thats the raw weather balloon data, pressue and temperature will predictable change relates to altitude, hence the angled gridlines to provide a straight line in theory.
Red line is temperature and blue line is the dew point

Reaching strut, it’s for improving the angle to the spinnaker guy when you are tight reaching with the pole almost on the forestay. You rig it usually somewhere inline with the shrouds/ mast straight out the side of the boat, pushing the guy a bit further outboard and significantly reduceing the load on it

Resurrecting this topic as I found the solution, but haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else. It turns out I wasn't going mad and the system did have an issue. There was a second heading sensor on the network. Turns out the ZG100 stops transmitting heading if it sees anything else sending heading onto the N2K bus(even if its the chartplotter spitting out COG as a HDG sentence).
The solution (cryptically written in the instructions I admit) is to change the instance of the Zg100/point-1 from 0 to 1. Problem solved!

All they'd need ... is a reinforce concrete ramp ......
I can't think of any yards in the greater auckland area that you can get to mast up that have a ramp that would suit the trailer and wide multis, and the costs of building one would be significant (even ignoring the consenting requirements)

Fineline Advantage Dyneema is great. I find the limited colour choice, restricts how much I'll use.
If you ask nicely, they'll make it in just about any colour you want....
