If it's mission critical to have a 50" wide roll and you don't mind waiting a little while you could order from soller composites in the US and get it shipped

Just get a taxi, it's what I'll be doing and you don't run the risk of some scumbag breaking into your car. Plus you can drink as much rum as you like in the delivery home as you are getting a taxi ????????

I've seen a cocktail blender adapted from a 2 stroke weed whacker.. plenty of power and everyone at the anchorage will know where the party is...

Are they saying that crew can't park in the white spaces on Friday?
Correct

Awww crap, Clissold will be beside himself with excitement.
Another summer of drunken ramblings from the soapbox about all that unnecessary weight all us Neanderthals are carting around.
Tell him you are going to do the same to try and shed a few pounds......

Pantaenius could be an option for a bigger boat

It was all part of the AC36 resource consent. Admittedly that was one of the fastest consent application processes but was certainly widely consulted and communicated.

WTF
Clockwise and anticlockwise winches
What’s the idea, to stop RSI ?
The boat designers OCD get the bettor of them in making the boat symmetrical
Either that or they just designed one half of the boat and used the mirror command in CAD to save time

22V Hilti - we just don't bother buying anything else for cordless tools on site anymore. They take a ridiculous amount of abuse and keep on going.

every boat must keep to the starboard (right) side of any channel. inside a harbour (normally shown on the pilotage limit on the chart) you must keep out of the way of any ship over 500 tons (which is about 50 metres in length). do not create a wake which causes unnecessary danger to other boats or people.This was drummed in to me about 40 years ago. I am confident it will be documented somewhere just where is the problem.

A word of caution around qualitative risk scoring systems, like the probability consequence model above.
Watch for the high consequence/low probability events as under some scoring systems they are not given much weight due to the low probability. If it does happen, its a catastrophe so its worth giving them due regard.
I might be telling people here to suck eggs, apologies if I am but it bears repeating.

A couple of old dinosaurs chatting over a drink at the bar, well, they could pull the “ the world is too pc “ line.. But this was said by the Commodore of the club, while speaking in his capacity as the Commodore. He should know better, and if he doesn’t, he probably shouldn’t be the commodore

Insurance renewals are going to be a frightening experience this time around

50ft schionning cat tipped end over end, saw at least one keeler sunk, fair bit of mooring line chafe damage on some boats, and scores of blown out/missing dodgers/bimini's. Floating dock office is now matchsticks.
Worst hit was towards the ends of R -Y piers, very localised though, a strip maybe only 15-20m wide saw significant damage. Definitely a tornado

Don't be so short sighted, that area will continue to benefit Auckland for a long time after the cup, as per the viaduct.

The book "Gougeon Brothers on Boat Construction" is pretty comprehensive when it comes to boat building options, plenty of practical advice in there as well.
Did I mention it's free?

Wow - really? You would intentionally interfere with another boat on the water like that?

What's the story here?
From experience this sort of doubling down and clarification of rules usually means someone either really took the proverbial, or put themselves and others in significant peril. Anyone know more?
