I installed one of these aerials on my aerial arch https://www.cellutronics.co.nz/shop?category=Marine and bought a 2 deg compatible MiFi modem off Trademe (there is a list on Cellutronics site of suitable modems). Got an extra SIM card for my regular phone account and use that around NZ. In the islands bought a local SIM card on arrival at each country and topped up with local data. All worked very well

same at Sandspit. A marine biologist friend says it is due to the freshwater from the winter rains

Same as stopping at Minerva Reef, clock would be reset. I first thought this story was about the guy in Crew Finder advertising for delivery crew on a Maritimo, starting to sound like a refugee boat 🤣

you could mount one of these in that exterior corner, just need a flu thru the hard top https://challengeyachts.com/challenger-6l-lpg-water-heater-stainless-steel.html I had a califont set up on the outside cockpit bulkhead on a previous boat (a launch) and once I replaced the painted steel enclosure with one in SS no further corrosion issues

do you have any space on your cockpit bulkhead to tuck it in a corner and run a flue thru the cabin top, such as the corner behind the owl in this photo

try to minimise the height differential, they can be a bugger to bleed the coolant pipes if the tank connections are above the engine.

if you have a cylinder built to order they can install 2 heating coils, one for the engine's cooling water and one for the Heater.

good Kiwi manufactured Copper tank hot water cylinders https://www.superheat.co.nz/marine-water-cylinders/

and the Cup is held by RNZYS

teak screwed into deck with a balsa core? This could be a major job and $$$. You will need to be hauled out and undercover/tented so you also need to think about hardstand costs. If removing the mast(assuming you are talking a yacht) and transporting the boat is not too much of a major, look for a boat builder who has his own shed eg Richard Edlin is just one option, there are a few others. If you are stuck with hardstand, keep away from Auckland city, possibilities are Hutcheson's (Tauranga), Robertsons (Warkworth), Norsand (Whangarei) as a few options

Usually Musto, sometimes Helly Hansen, but can depend on who is a sponsor

Such as this MTB

In addition to an installed 4000 pump, I have one of these as a portable with a 3" lay flat hose for discharge

one of these, Whale Gulper 220 or Jabsco or Johnson any of the wire mesh strainers will do

There was no lock down over Xmas -New year last year, Cindy had to wait until after Waitangi Day then slapped a couple on us in Feb/March....

then there is the Kamikazi Kawasaki bike to top them all

or you can go totally stupid - the Millyard Viper v10 th

it's a great picture. It clearly defines the "cyclone safe" strip in the near equatorial regions. Also of note the almost complete lack of cyclones in the Sth Atlantic and Eastern Sth Pacific, no doubt the cold currents coming up the West African and Western Sth American coast lines (which are also deserts due to the dry air) preclude their formation. Only outlier is the cyclone that whacked Florianopolis, Brasil in 2004

like multiple TS3 Commers, the sound is something else speaking of which, how many remember hearing these

or you could wind the keel fully up and pull the mast down to you.... Been done many times for righting tests

Colin is Sailing Parlay, Lagoon 450 with the failed bulkheads, see previous thread

That is not typically charging, it is direct feed to the bus motor, same as a train. Vancouver (amongst other cities) has trolley buses, I remember when when working there in 2017 often seeing the drivers at the rear getting in some target practice to get get the booms back on the overhead wires. Their buses had small battery packs, maybe 5-10km range

there are stories of boats sailing across Lake Manapouri with their trailers tied underneath them. Would have been a slow trip...

not much chance of that when you check out TNZ's shareholding https://app.companiesoffice.govt.nz/companies/app/ui/pages/companies/582931/shareholdings?backurl=H4sIAAAAAAAAAC3LMQ7CMBQD0Ntk6dATfCEmlg5IcAErsaBS8xPyf0Dl9EQVm209zxUP2hxLrtB1JCNafJ5ySRRzaEJLwfdKofrqg4SXOJEn5Wf6EtswAekNjUxXKDfx1hkOvt%2FH0%2BS8LP9%2Bc3i3Syu9HvMPBhnbwoAAAAA%3D just GD and his lawyer. Interesting that Stephen Tindall resigned as the other shareholder in June 21

there have been more than a few encapsulated/integral keel failures over the years as well, plenty of pictures on the web. Some of the failures have revealed extremely dubious materials being used for the ballast. Lead being relatively soft absorbs a lot of energy in a serious hit, just need to ensure the hull structure is up to taking the loads from the keelbolts and the keel wanting to thrust against the hull at it's trailing edge.
