  1. Dirty/faulty injector/s could result in pooling diesel washing down the side of the bore into the sump.

    ^ You didn't get the memo? In 4 days time Sky drops the one day and weekly Fan Pass and doubles the price of the monthly Fan Pass to $100.
  3. This is nothing new. The YNZ Safety Regulations 2017-20 Part II section 3.05 states Previous Safety Regulations have had the same clause.
  4. ^ NZI Enterpise NZ Endeavour was Dalts entry in the 93/94 Whitbread. Sad to hear about Digby Taylor
  5. Another one for Mariner. Like the earlier poster I started with the Mortimers/Mariner when I launched my 88 in '88 and have been with them since. I have had some big claims, several rigs, sails, damaged topsides etc and while my premiums went skyhigh for a while I stuck with them as no-one wanted to insure 88 bumper boats at the time. Haven't had claim now in 15 years. I occasionally look at different insurers and Mariner have been responsive to looking at and adjusting my premium.
  6. It's called a Pre-authorization Hold. It will usually take a couple of days for the bank to remove the hold and the correct transaction to appear. Rather than use the 'Fill' function use a dollar amount. You know approximately how much you are going to take so calculate the dollar value, add a bit and use that $ amount. You are Pre-authorized only to that amount. If you use less fuel you are still pre-auth held to the $ amount you entered on you credit card balance until the real transaction replaces it.
  7. Congratulations to you and P. One of each.
  8. Ken, if they end up withdrawing will they just turn around and take the boat back to Waikawa?
  9. Squealer and Zenith didn't start. They have withdrawn and will heading back to Nelson.
  10. ^ 24hrs after 60% of the boats have finished. 48hrs after 60% if the boats have finished for Wellington and Napier starts.
  11. They haven't been out since late last week.
  12. Most of their previous testing has been either in the area Browns Is to St Heliers or off the northern end of Eastern Beach.
  13. Ceramic knives are what riggers use to cut Kevlar, Dyneema, Vectran etc. They are not cheap.

    Inflatable repaiir

    Try these guys. They have all sorts of inflatable sealants from one that you pour inside the tubes to a sealant topcoat. http://www.inflatablesealant.com
  15. Will BG actually visit the boat and measure up? Brent built me a furling headsail a few years ago based on an old headsail but with the proviso that he wouldn't visit the boat. If it didn't fit it was my problem. Fitted perfectly so wasn't a problem.
  16. First shakedown race is the Round White Island Race in a week and a bit.

    It went over in '95 and was completely rebuilt. It was doing tourist/charter trips from Sydney to Broken Bay. Not sure if it is still operating or not.
