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.

the twin rudders are another example of compromise - the current trend of wide sterned production boats (following IMOCA trends) have an issue with a centre rudder lifting out of the water at a moderate angle of heel, (unless the rudder is placed well forward), so the solution has been to adopt twin rudders. The IMOCA boats (not sure about Volvo) typically have kick up rudders and most carry a spare in case of hitting something.

remember Quickcat vs Quickcat 2 https://www.taic.org.nz/sites/default/files/inquiry/documents/00-205.pdf and the skippers were talking to each other!

and even with a blank cheque you still have to compromise. My dream fleet includes at least 3 different boats for differing environments

and a deepish, not too big, well protected cockpit, preferably with a hard dodger. Don't like the modern trend where the helm is almost at deck level

these guys are always appreciative of support, alot of work to do there https://www.motukaikoura.org.nz/

The labels are a metallic label, Marine Stainless used to get new ones printed but no idea where from. If you can get a photo of a good one, a printer would be able to reproduce. If it is any help 4 o'clock is about 180 deg😃

if it not coming via Youshop you may well be lucky and not be charged GST if it under $1,000 total (goods + freight), there seems to be some flexibility on this with customs. Let us know how you get on.
