    Weather apps

    no, but the nowcasting, as well as the 48hr history is arguable the best unique feature, pretty much worth the price on its own

    Alinghi have lined up with Red Bull racing F1 team Ineos are already in locked in with AMG Mercedes (due to Ineos owing 33% of the F1 tean!) Luna Rossa have just announced a partnership with Ferrari F1 team Someone needs to get on the phone to Mclaren as the natural fit for the NZ Team!
  5. Its going the Americas's Cup route now, with Mercedes lawyering up to contest the process followed in the last race by the FIA. A bit like protesting the race committie, usually doesn't end well...

    Vulcan 7r targets

    I’ve setting up a Vulcan, and I can input target upwind and downwind angles and speeds across the wind range. in the files section there is reference to polar tables. Is it possible to run full polars on this unit, or is this just a holding area for pushing files to a H5000?
  7. According to offical stats over 60% of submissions we re supportive. I can just imagine it... " We support improving the the marine habitat BUT... whoa - dont need to read any further that, tick in the support box"

    Choosing a berth

    Have you enquired with the westhaven office? I thought they were pretty much full. Beggars can't be choosers and all that, but westhaven is pretty well sheltered, theres not much between the berths so long as you fit
  10. Anyone got one lurking in the back of the garage? Buying NOS from overseas will cost me abut the same as bottle of Mt Gay, so figure thats the going rate for a clean one👍

    Electric outboards

    By the looks of it everyone is an electrican there😂
  13. The latest marketing spiel I heard on a new GPS unit was that it use L1 and L5 GNSS signals, as opposed to virtually all the recreational divices out there just uing L1, which putthe accuracy in the +\- 20cm range, with a 25hz update. Any one able to explain in laymans terms why this additional signal frequecy helps so much, something to do with ionosphere correction? Or is this snake oil?
  14. I’ve acquired a Vulcan 7 chart plotter, but it doesn’t come with anything over and above the base map. what do people recommend for the gulf and up to bay of islands? Mostly racing rather than cruising Are there other options bar cmap and navionics?

  19. All the old threads are all still there, just all moved into marine talk now.
  20. The round IOW race leak seems to have come from butterworth via the U.K. times. An LSD article, since pulled, suggested this race would be a “hype” race, and not actually part of the cup challenge. AC37 to be in NZ back end of next year... allegedly
  21. Looking for a backup generator for a plant. Standard unit, 1 year warrenty. Oh you wanted a 5 year warrenty? certinaly, that'll be another $32K please Sir Yep, pieces of paper get very expensive very quickly
